    You can take losing a game but not in the way we lost this one. Not one player played well, even Alisson just needed to stay put to save the penalty. Slot's getting things so wrong atm. No discernible tactics at all. Good job this game doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

    People said Slot had won the league with Klopp's team. Now we have Slot's team!

    Perhaps its a case of too much this season. Last year the team pretty much picked itself, clear idea of what and how to play. Now he's too many options that its not settling into a proper team.

    Frankly can't understand why Szob is still doing the RB role, when both are fit again. One game where he plays well doesn't mean he has to carry on doing it. Pick a proper RB.

    Oh come on, you can't blame Alison for not saving a penalty. He saved two 1 on 1s too.

    Alisson was the one player who can hold his head up high, without him would have been 3 down by HT

    My comment was poorly worded. I didn't intend to lump him in with the rest of the team. It was meant to be a side note about him not standing up for the penalty. He made some good saves.

    If you look at the previous results Galatasary are somewhat of a bogey team - I think Palace are too ftr but that with little fact
    Last six times we have played haven’t we only won once ?

    tricky place to go
    Performance was not the best but our luck has taken a dip this happens

    I don’t even have us in the top four in terms of expectations but no one is really setting the place alight

    way to early for decisions

    IF we click it will be good

    Haven’t read through yet, but my god we look like a league cup team at times who have never played together. So many mistakes because of nerves and lack of trust.

    We absolutely need Grav Mac and Szob as a 3 this weekend, I am seriously pissed off if Slot doesn’t do this

    Honestly, anyone but him right now.

    To quote Klopp: He looks like he’s been put on the motorway

    Take him out of the limelight, he’s absolutely useless and it’s hurting the team

    This is bang on, not even exaggerated. I’m a bit worried seeing us last 2 games, are these new lot head strong? **** knows. Need to absolutely get back to basics as you say and that starts with the midfield 3

    100% - it’s just confusing things, we have umpteen options at RB. Get Szob in midfield

    This is now a full blown first slot crisis.

    He took the foot completely off the gas last season at the end and really the team does look right.

    1. Fitness doesn't look good.

    2. Day 1 preseason to today we have been walked through centrally. New signings or no new signings. Just so easy go right through us

    3. A lot of staff changes as well as player changes.

    4. He seems fixated on rotating but he's lost sight of why he has to rotate a little. (Rotate to keep players fresher for longer yes but dont do so much you lose all form)

    5. He seems to have little faith in some players still while cant see the damage others are doing and how thry need to change to get a game.


    Let me put it this way. If I said last March.

    Oh I've a great idea lads let's play Harvey Elliott at 10 and szoboszlai ay right full to replace trent youd all have a laugh at me.

    We have the German version of Harvey at 10. Zero press really, light weight and honestly Harvey was better but so fixated on back passing he missed his chances.

    6. Now the injuries are coming.

    Slot needs to stop blaming players in pressers and take the blame himself.like klopp would have doen as the media are going to very quickly start piling on this if the results and performances dont come.

    Now we will see him earn his credentials.
