Anyone trust Slot to sort this out?

Seems like a good times manager.

imo shouldn't have them slack off at the end of last season, play to the end then celebrate in the summer. Got them into bad habits

The frustrating thing is he was very good at working games out last season, adjusting and sending players on that made a real difference time and time again - it gave us that huge lead in the new year.

We just look absolutely lost right now and it seems desperate to me, I don’t know how many times you can waste Szob by needlessly sticking him at RB. He was genuinely needed for that role once this season vs Arsenal - he did a great job, get over it!

We don’t seem anywhere near sharp and fit enough, and that’s such a huge problem in the prem. Then when you’re on your arse like we are, the likes of Brentford fancy it and go for you. Gonna be a long season

I’m in the ‘it will take time’ camp.

I’m also in the ‘that’s totally unacceptable’ camp

the problem is that I can’t see it changing at all. Slot doesn’t seem to be able to figure out what’s wrong. I think that losing his right hand man and bringing in GvB has failed badly; we look poorly organised, the players look anxious, like they don’t know what to do, the press is really poor and we don’t look fit.

I am genuinely concerned.

Unfortunately, I think this is the problem. The reason behind this is also obvious imo

Whatever we think, and I agree we are not fit enough and not physical enough, I am sure FSB will be looking at options already. They have just invested £450 m in a club that were champions last season, now it’s a total mess. They are probably finding it hard to understand, but it is now a crisis and I can’t see them sitting in their hands for too long

Well.

I have said as much but get called negative for calling it like it is.

Some players stood up yesterday.

Szoboszlai was everywhere.
Jones really tried

But if you have 2 10s playing cm amd they just go do what they do thst decond goal is the result.

I thought kerkez kept trying but again is the victim of some.slot ideas. Same as bradley. Kerkez is working hard, bradley's confidence is shot.

Robertson came on and did nothing, why? Same issues kerkez faces every game.

But again gakpo and salah. Put a foot in ffs. Get tight.

Not sure what the successor to the KGB has to do with this?

The keepers kicking was fine when they passed it to the foot he actually kicks with. The defence keeps giving it to the wrong side.

That's not just when they had to the keeper, almost every pass made (especially when being pressed) is to the wrong side of the receiving player. Lost count of the numbers if times it was passed to one of the FBs on the wrong side; it meant the fullback has to go back to the keeper as they had no other option.

Because you have no credibility in this area; you say it all the time and regardless of the result or how we're playing. You are "negative" whether we win, lose or draw, play well or ****, etc.

I'm not having a pop at you here, just saying.

Which is propaganda of the worst kind :)

Wanting perfection and the best for the club is not negativity.

People just cant handle the fact some people can see where there are issues
 
For what seems like the 10th time in about a month we are up against Palace who are becoming a bit of a bogey team having won the Charity Shield then started the slump with that last minute winner.

Welcome break from the poor league form and a chance for maybe a few fringe player to really put their name forward.

Kick off 7:45pm Wednesday

Our form is relegation form, are we going to be relegated

It is shocking at the moment, but these are top players and we have to hope we can sort this out over the months ahead. We need a settled system where players know what their role is and we absolutely must stop using Sbozo as a full back. He is our best player at the moment. Get Grav back in the correct place and Macca back to something like his old self and get the spine of the team right

We'll more than likely go out of the cup.

Now let's not moan about tactics, we all know how Palace play so how about we prepare the players and make tactical changes to counter the opposing team. Crazy idea I know but I think we should give that a go.

Don't know, we'll play the "second string" and perform better
 
Strongest team possible. Slot has to decide who that is and live or die by it. We can’t keep chopping and changing every game. Get the best back four, best midfield and best forward line in the right positions. No time to be tinkering now.
