All Aboard the Slot Express

No suprise that sources were never posted for the supposed bust up at Bournemouth. It was all a load of shite.

Wasn’t me who suggested selling Wirtz in January tho I have said what I thought from day one and he’s not been good enough.
Today was his best performance by a distance and far more what you would expect for such a heavy investment and to change tactics and build the team around.

And he’s produced his best performances playing as we did before Slot wrecked our season trying to make the world revolve around Wirtz

If Slot hadn’t changed to what the ppl knocking him and Wirtz wanted we would t have won 3 in 4

We lost to Bournemouth by reverting to the 4231 after levelling 🤦*♂️ there’s the danger Slot will keep reverting to that refusing to accept his half arsed idea was entirely wrong

[Nineteenx]

Need to remember we’ve not changed our opinion of how Slot tried and failed to have us play or Wirtz’s performances in that

Slot’s changed to what it always should have been, for now at least

Aye.

It's all Slot. Maybe we should play Arne at CB and he could clear a ball. Or play him up front and he could hit the target. Couldn't do any worse than VvD, Konate, Mo, Macca, Gakpo and others.

Thankfully Wirtz and Ekitike are superstars in the making and are bailing us out this season.

Oh dear Slot the egomaniac thinks he’s up there with Cryuff

“Good football more important than trophies@

We’ve been treated to brilliant entertaining football for 9 years before he started fucking with the program with his borefest overplaying no tempo, no intensity, no variation, no cut and thrust

What the fuck is he on the clown 🤡 his attempt to play the long since outdated Dutch way has been an absolute fucking disaster we’re only turning a bit of a corner because he let the players play as they play best fit 3 out of the last 4 games

I feel really sorry for the fella. He isn't in any kind of control at all. He's the sacrificial lamb to be culled if and when their new concept seems to be in danger. He will take the blame. If he can keep us even marginally competitive - which he really must be able to do with the money spent - then he can stay... for now.

His job wasn't easy post summer and that big spend. But we're in the midst of an 'expectations management' exercise. The sweet spot ...as I always said is their goal and it doesn't involve winning trophies. They are a great by-product and a boon if and when they happen but not the goal. The goal is that revenue and the exponential rise in the value of the asset. That's - top 4... play some attractive football... sponsor the shyte outta the club... invite the cameras in...

Why spend £400m if the goal isn't to win

[Steveo]

Because they had to mask the loss of Jurgen. Use the funds held back to back the new project. the new system. A system they KNOW is weaker from a winning perspective.

Kids stuff.. and as you seem to like hanging around on a forum - what was it you said again... oh yes.. "by kids for kids" it shouldn't be a leap even for you

[Nineteenx]

Although Slot’s football has been damaging the brand, punters want to see exciting football, attacking with purpose throughout and in the dying seconds sneaking last gasp wins

That will put a huge bite in our banal revenue and expansion if they allow it to continue

If he sticks with being more direct 3 ahead of Wirtz and playing with pace and intensity as he did 2 and a bit games across 4 recently he might be alright

Any of the Dutch total borefest walk fest and he’ll be back to losing ways what part of him thinks that’s entertaining to watch from his comments gaving seen what we’d been doing for 10 years is beyond anything

[JockStrap]

Because they had to mask the loss of Jurgen.

That's really your explanation? They spent £400m because Klopp walked out? Maybe you should think that one through.

They spent £400m with the expectation of winning trophies. I'm sure Slot and everyone else is aware of that.
