I'm a tosser... I assume most pro footballers aren't the most intelligent critters around generally but accept if they are at the top of their game they are football intelligent...

He's made out entire team look like special ed.
 
Didn't see the game, playing and the driving home, but we lost a 2-0 lead....

I mean **** sake, what have we become.

From what I'm reading Konate was a ****ing disaster, again, why wont we drop him? I'd put a ****ing traffic cone on the pitch instead.

What’s damning in my eyes is Chiesa saved our arse with his goal line clearance on Wednesday and couldn’t even get on the pitch today.

The subs to make when they started to get control, still 2-0 were Gakpo off, Chisea on, and Gomez on for Connor as he looked tired... Nope ... Then all breaks down... Defensive **** up... Collapse.

Slot can ****ing go tonight for all I care. His tactics and substitutions constantly begged belief at times. What I don’t understand is how he could do so much right with Klopps team last season and win the league and then the next look like he doesn’t have a ****ing clue.

muscle memory <ok>
 
I said before he was appointed, Slot wasn't a long term the man for us. Things dropped well for him last season, in that the team was set for another year, but knew he wouldn't be able to bring about the changes that were needed.

Doesn't have the personality to be strong in the face of the likes of Hughes, who clearly bought this new team.

As I said last match thread...Hughes can **** off end of season too. Yet again FSG "coach is a coach is a coach" just doesn't work... Need a strong manager but a strong team above him to occasionally tell him he's mad...

If we held that 2-0 lead, which we should have, things would look a lot different. But we didn’t. We are fragile and a mess at the moment

Opposition knows we won't ... Complete opposite to last few seasons.

The more I see the more I put it on manager.

It's literally all mentality... Direction, clarity of plan.

He speaks clear enough in interviews so it isn't communication... It's what he wants doesn't make sense

run less
Press less
Pass forward less
Pass don’t shoot
Defend less
Be less fit
Panic at set pieces

it’s an anti coaching master class

well while i sort of agree i'm fairly sure he isn't completely responsible for the continual defensive **** ups apart from the fact he keeps picking Konate .

The really irritating thing is some of our attacking play was class particularly the 3rd goal but didn't think for one minute that was it game over
 
I’ve liked Slot and he came across well last season - obviously helps when you’re winning.

But he needs to stop talking about how we are conceding goals without other team having chances. As it’s just nonsense.

Leeds scored a pen
created a free shot at goal from middle of box
and then a free shot at back post from a corner
thats ingoribg DCL shut header that went to guy offside that also should have been a goal.

Hes saying it like we’ve been unlucky to concede these goals, but if it’s happening over 10/15 games then it’s not unlucky. It’s just poor

Oh I agree... Players sense an issue then hide, try to avoid blame knowing they're probably more likely to be there next year than the manager...

I actually thought bar the odd player performance we already know about... Thought we played much better today, largely because Jones started in good form and Ekkie was Ekkie... That with Kerkez and Wirtz continuing to look better. Connor gave us width... All good without being great which is fine...

I think he's responsible defensively because he has never decided what works...he can't do Klopp high press because he 1) doesn't have players and 2) won't pick even the players that could make a good go of it.

But yet he sets up to expose the back 4 every time... A back four he sticks any warm body in like he thinks it doesn't really matter.

His back up plan is... We don't really need a midfield.

Would get you sacked at any team not just made champions .

Said this a good few games back, he must actually think everything’s cool - just not getting the rub of the green. And that could not be further from the truth, it’s utter delusion.

I believe that conceding that corner today means we are the worst team at defending set pieces in the league… take that in for a minute, and then ask - what the **** have we done through the MONTHS it’s been going on to rectify it?

All just bad luck eh.
 
Sorry... Today he decided we needed an entire team of midfielders when we needed to not back off...


It's like if he can pick the wrong move... He will .. smacks of our of his depth
