All Aboard the Slot Express

This discussion has given me an idea for a poll ...

[Kev0909]

I will say though, I don't know how it's not obvious how small the squad is after the injury-prone players, are of course injured because it's the same shit every season

Compared to any around us.... the depth is a farce for a club like us.

but yeah lets blame slot for everything.

This has always been the case though, at times anyway, last season was good, squads win leagues etc especially nowadays with pace of the games and how many games played.... we don't have much of one..... it's not rocket science, i'm not surprised we're 6th.

Only reason arsenal will win it this season, City might have a chance due to spending money because they needed too in jan... think saka and co have been very average on a whole... probably the worst team that'll win it for some time.

No depth, Chiesa is a waste of time, rio is still a kid compare it to other clubs around us, midfield also doesn't get a chance for rotation, Jones is ok, but that's about it and only other option.... then the CB area........ etc etc it's a farce

Thoughts??

Am I the only that sees it?? or am I just talkin shite?

You do have a point about squad depth. But then you need to talk about the whole squad. These players would either be starters or part of the bench

Bradley
Frimpong
Gomez
Isak
Leoni
Bajcetic

If they were fit and available then suddenly the first 11 and bench looks ok. I don't think our squad is poor. The opposite. But as I keep saying, player form and injuries have wrecked our season. We'll just have to ride this one out.

I mean including Bajcetic is a bit desperate, Gomez& Bradley spend most of the season injured every season, it's why we're short at the back, obviously Leoni injury didn't help but he's only a kid anyhow and probably not the answer...

Still no wide attackers in that list or midfielders well if you include frimpong but he's not a proper one in my opinion he's not going to rotate or start ahead of salah- i'm not including bajcetic you and me know there's no point at this point sadly, endo would get on the pitch before him.

Right but Slot and co will have built a squad at the start of the season. They will have expected players like Gomez and Bradley to miss parts of it due to their previous injury records. In reality Gomez was always going to be backup so they would have been ok with that risk. Then we had Frimpong to cover RB and RW.

I could go on but you get the point. No squad is ever perfect. They will have been happy with what they started the season with but also known that we have gaps. Nobody could forsee Mo becoming an old man overnight. Rio and Gakpo haven't done enough to step up. Neither has Chiesa. So come the summer they will have to fix that. I'll be amazed if we don't sign at least one quality wide player this summer.

So Spurs have fired their terrible manager.

I assume all sensible people are concerned they may try to procure Xavi's services before we finally sack out terrible manager?

Xabi would be mad to go there. One Hell of a "poisoned chalice" of a job.

You should re-read many of your own posts over the years before calling out someone else for negativity.

Nasty piece of work.

[JockStrap]

Sniping at the manager is all you seem to do to be fair.

I wonder what your reaction was to the Newcastle game for example? Were you on here glowing about how well we did?
