Pleased salah kicked off. Gives is something to talk about rather than just whimpering softly every time we conced. But in my mind it's fairly obvious. Mo you've been **** for months, how about rather than moaning about not having a relationship with the coach, you try to restore your relationship with the ****ing ball. I reserve the right to happily change my mind and he ****s off to Africa and becomes a world beater again. In which case it's all slots fault again.
I can’t see them sacking him just yet. Unless we continue to not win games into January and then he’ll probably be an interim manager until the end of the season. It seems Nagalsman is a first fav of the club and after the WC, him and Poch could be available and think both would be a good fit for the club. Both very good with young players
I wonder. Is it possible that slot was always looked at as a stop gap. Not really who we want, but he will do for a couple of years. Alot of coaches tied up in national teams that will become free?
I can’t see that. I also worry that a bigger name will demand more say on everything and that Edwards will not allow it. I accept that I am being a tad paranoid
Just idle thought. But we definitely wanted alonso rather than slot. Maybe naglesman was also on the radar, but tied up? But then why spend £450 mill on players for someone you're not sure on? **** me I've talked myself out of it
I am sure that Slot had a voice on transfers but with the revelation that he did t want to lose Diaz leaking, I am also sure that he only had a small, passing voice on the recruitment.
Pretty ****ty of Salah to come out with those comments isn't it? Very much comes across to me about him thinking he's bigger than the club. The line about not needing to fight for his place or something to that effect surely must set alarm bells ringing? Probably hastens Slot's demise though.
he thinks that he’s ’earned his place’ reality is that nobody has done that this year. Footballers egos eh!
Yes, he said he had earned his place. You earn that place each week on the pitch. No matter what you've done in the past it's never automatically yours.
I think he’s saying he expected to be backed to improve given he won everything last year, and then goes on to list examples of other players in this situation and how he’s been scapegoated by the media. He’s done what he’s done now and that can’t be taken back, he’s a winner who is hurting but obviously this isn’t the correct way to do things. Maybe we are actively trying to get rid of him and he thinks that’s outrageous (and it would be)
Ultimately, he’s sat on the bench watching others fail without the punishment of being droppped ….so technically, he’s right imo. Still shouldn’t be voiced like that.
The rumour I have heard is we really like Enrique from PSG but that was seen as the option a couple years down the line as they know they would never get him now as settled at PSG. So they may be thinking of a temporary solution until they might be able to get enrique couple years down the line.
Problem last night was Slot trying to stifle the game to early by taking attacking players off for defensive ones. We then just invited continuous pressure with no outlet. Isak was isolated on his own with no service. I would have liked to see Chiesa or Rio on for Gakpo both of whom would have given Leeds more to think about, VVD and Konate were both poor last night. Rumour that we will let Konate go in January for £15m provided we can get a replacement. Seems odd as even if we get Guehi from Palace that would only give us 4 true CB's, if one includes Gomez. I think Konate will unfortunately stay, unless he has a brilliant world cup and PSG buy him
No one is buying Konate after the WC. Hes a free transfer. Either sell in Jan for knock down price - which given his performances this year would be dirt cheap or he leaves on a free in the summer.
