To be honest I don’t think anyone would have even knows it was said until you mentioned it to be honest. We’ve got used to Slot just saying things straight. Have to remember also not his first language, he’s often asked reporters if what he’s saying is right etc so I’d take it with a pinch of salt.
Isak wanted to leave so why try and force him to stay? Trent ran his contract down deliberately because there's no way RM were going to pay proper dosh for him and they'd obviously let him know that that was the only way they'd take him - so the club he purports to love got almost nothing for him. Newkie got a King's ransom for Isak, so I really have no idea why you've seen your collective arse over this. Anyway, none of this is really relevant to your original point about Slot's comments. The answer is football managers are just people, and they say things - sometimes they say things you don't agree with, sometimes they say things that are downright stupid - why let it get to you?
Put it this way. I'd never sing isak's name. But again. Diaz gone. Wanted to go. Actually acted badly while there was a tragedy. Do we care or mention him? No. Benedict Arnold? Not mentioned except by media trying to make out reasons why a side thst wont stand up and stand their ground lost 4 in a row.
Hooper is an invite to get aggressive. If we are defending get in tight, pull drag hold. Push people. Don't let them get turned. If I see players retreating off the ball and allowing people pick out long ball i will be angry but if i see midfielders watching the ball sail over their heads then drop to their midfield without a challenge I will be furious..
