Slot To Be Fired?

The way Slot uses his squad we may as well have a squad of 14 players!

Hope your right & slots gone this summer but unfortunately I think he'll be sacked in November when another season is already wasted. As for Craig's autism i have a 7yr old granddaughter with autism & I wont get into that. He tends to use that everytime hes proved wrong

I find it hard to see any other scenario than us being in October/November in about 10th position having lost a load of games and played atrociously. Hope I'm proven wrong. If we can get some decent solid signings over the summer which address the glaring needs in the team/squad then I might be more optimistic.

Unless he has major change of heart, and changes his system, then next season will be worse than this.

It's quite obvious that a number of players don't buy into his way of playing. You only have to look at the players that liked Mo's post last week.

100%. It's absolutely doomed to fail.
Managers don't suddenly change their philosophy on how they want to play.
It's hilarious how much crap he chats in the aftermath of a game and lists all the obvious things but has done absolutely nothing all season to remedy them. Why will that change?
He will persist on his way and be out the door by October, I have zero doubt about it.

It's been impossible to see what his way of playing even is. I feel sorry for the players to be honest because we all know that team would be playing infinitely better under Klopp. The individuals are not bad and in fact many are very good players. Szob, Grav, Wirtz, Ekitike, Kerkez, Frimpong. I think Klopp would have got a lot more from all of those.

If he stays, we'll know a lot by about 12 games in.

I'm not remotely confident he'll turn it around and if given the option of replacing him I would, but it's amazing what can happen (in either direction!!!) with a couple of transfers in the market.

Sometimes a player comes in with the right talent, energy and temperament that those around them kick into life. The three spots we need to be praying that happens are on the left of the attack, the right of the attack and in the role protecting the back four (or distributing quickly from deep) depending on what type of number six we go for.

Nail one of those and you can get a little bit of momentum sometimes. Equally, if we buy three duds and sell a gem or two to fund it.....oh boy.....

A lot could hinge on the next couple of months. Thankfully, if we do get off to an awful start and have to fire Slot by November, there is still enough talent and enough time (both within the season and within the age profile and quality of some of these lads) to arrest a slide and turn it around, but we need to tread so, so carefully this Summer.
