we do have a way of knowing, I’m afraid. It’s called form and analysis of what slot is doing. The form speaks for itself. My analysis is based on the following: Have we improved? Have we adapted anything at all to improve? Does it look like we (the coach/players) are learning? Do the players understand what is expected of them? Apart from our very obvious weaknesses, do we look like we can out score our opponents to compensate for them? I really want to be wrong but Slot doesn’t look like he knows what to do. We are lacking everywhere; defence, midfield and attack. We are making strong areas weak by moving people into different position than where they excel. IMO, there is a lot wrong (not all Slots making) but this is being compounded by the lack of positive or corrective action by Slot. He needs to adapt…..and quickly.
Frankly, I would be astounded if we had changed our approach to transfers. It’s worked so well, why would we?
well this summer we left ourselves with a thin squad as so much was splurged on isak and Wirtz we didn't add another midfielder ,who Slot would be willing to play, nor proper cover for Salah
Ah got you….in that case, I agree with you, we certainly didn’t strengthen everywhere we needed to. Even more obvious with hindsight. I’m was referring to the ones that actually joined.
We can only know what's already happened, not what will happen, so no we don't know what will happen in future games. In amongst all the dross we put on a masterclass versus Real Madrid; same players, tweaks in tactics. Your last sentence is the most pertinent and I think where most of us currently are.
