I mean Isak is just better than Gakpo.

I know who I would rather have in my squad.

If you wanna put Isak and Salah on the bench go right ahead - I hope Slot agrees with you.<laugh>

Can anyone on here explain the logic to me where Slot continues to jibe at Newcastle in relation to Isak? Honest question.

Isak’s lack of fitness is entirely down to Isak. He went on strike and refused to train and then play with the first team squad. He refused to apologise to, in particular, his then team mates and was banished to train on his own until he did. He didn’t and, therefore, trained by himself until joining your lot at the end of August. Liverpool have had since then to get him fit.

Isak is now injured it would seem but Slot fails to accept any responsibility in that even though he says Liverpool did confirm to Sweden in the last boredom break that Isak was fit to play two games which he then did. It would seem possible that he wasn’t fit enough to do that (the injury obviously could also just occurred on the boredom break) but rather than accept Liverpool’s medical advice was wrong Slot talks about ‘a smaller club’ and pre season.

Slot referring to ‘smaller club’ being totally disrespectful to Newcastle and completely unnecessary. Also a classic case of deflection. If we were playing you I might get the link, the dig but as we aren’t, it comes across as him making excuses for mistakes made by Liverpool in managing Isak’s fitness.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not claiming Liverpool aren’t a bigger club than us currently. That for me is obvious. But why reference (albeit indirectly) us at all in his post match interview? He comes across as insincere, classless and pathetic. A huge step down from the likes of Shankly, Paisley and even Klopp in his early days.

This is what you said - The Mail (I know, I know) are reporting Slot as of last week saying Isak was 100% fit. If so, his comments last night make no sense.

We asked which of Slot's comments make no sense. You haven't stated any of Slot's actual comments just the reference to him saying that he told Sweden that Isak was fit to play 2 games. Which he was.

So which of Slot's comments make no sense?

I have watched most your games.

But I still think Isak over Gakpo and Ekitike deserves to start IMO.

Wouldn't argue with that too much, is start those two too, but Gakpo has been better than Isak so far this season.

On form, Chiesa starts ahead of Salah. Salah hasn't been great for a while, I do think he's grieving though, which would contribute towards the slow start.

Liverpool say isak is okay to play 2 games in last boredom break for Sweden but then Slot says hes not fit after the boredom break due to us and the pre season, not bad advice from Liverpool allowing Sweden to play the isak twice


Those comments.

He didn't say that at all. He said he came back fit. Because he came back fit, he played 72 minutes against man utd straight after coming back from the national team and started the very next game (yesterday). <doh>

You can have an opinion but don't just make stuff up.
 
He did say smaller club, fair enough - I think that’s unnecessary too for what it’s worth.

But the rest of your original point is waffle.

At the end of that biased article he says himself that we were fine with Sweden playing him twice and he was fit to do so, so where has he contradicted anyone? He seems to suggest it’s down to player profiles: some crack on, others get niggles

My point is why is he even mentioning Newcastle regardless as to why is he trying trying to have a dig at Newcastle. We are out of the picture as far as Isak is concerned. So what is the point or purpose of his comment.

Just makes him, and Liverpool by association, look petty. No need in my view.

Newcastle are a smaller club. The only time Liverpool can't call someone a smaller club its when Real Madrid...:bandit:

Your point is tedious at best. He was asked about Isak's fitness and he answered. You just don't like the 'smaller club' comment; truth hurts? <whistle>

Well, it seems that you're not too concerned that we are living rent free in your manager's head. We beat you in a Cup Final and he's obsessed with us. :emoticon-0105-wink:
