I said this more than a month ago and nothing has changed. Do I want him gone? No, but he will be imo as I just think he is out of his depth as he just cant seem to arrest the slide and with the money spent we can't afford to throwaway the season.
Its plain a simple tactic compounded by the players not suited to the way he wants to play. That's why I said that there was a miscommunication between what Slot wanted and what Hughes provided. Either to many cooks in the kitchen or a manager overruled. Regardless, one thing is for certain we have gotten less physical and less fit the longer we have played under Slot. I understand wanting to last the whole season, but the press looks woefully disjointed due to the lack of intensity.

See when I said after Forest they’ll be more days like this to come before we heal …..
This is getting beyond daft now.
That’s another bang average side come to r’s, this time in Europe, in OUR competition, and taking the absolute living P out of us without really having to break sweat. And worse, MUCH worse than anything, we just gave up at 3-1. I mean EVERYONE just totally gave up. Players. Staff. Crowd. The support had been with them. Even at 2-1 down. And they’d been good and the better side from 1-1 to 1-2. But everything changed when Konate sunk to even lower depths with his latest, massively costly, massively embarrassing F/U for PSV’s third. And EVERYONE just gave up at 3-1. Which is beyond unacceptable on the pitch. And something we just don’t do off it. To the point where there were boos the end from some of those that bothered to stay that long. Which were then drowned out by a defiant ‘We love you L’pool, We do!’ support and lads telling other lads that’s not what we do and to F off to Goodison and the like with the booing. Just an ugly end to another ugly game. I hate the booing for what it’s worth. It’s embarrassing and just not what we do. Proper, PROPER wool behaviour that. And the manager doesn’t deserve that at all after what he delivered last season. And how he continues to conducted himself with the utmost dignity through the horrendous circumstances this past summer that are still playing a MASSIVE part on everything. Whether you want to admit and acknowledge that or not. It’s just there and one of the biggest factors in all this. But it’s only one factor of many. And it’s not been as bad as this since that despicable bleep Hodgson. So as much as I’d rather people just get off the last 10, I get the frustration to boo if you stick it out to the end.

You are just sat confused and helpless as to how to fix it as there’s SO many problems it’s not even funny. I’m at a total loss as to what’s going on or where we go from here?
You can call for the manager to go. Which I totally get that frustration. Even if I don’t agree. But we know that’s just NOT happening and is a very LAST resort for the club. Heck, we’ve only had 22 of them through 133 years. And one of those was a 10 game caretaker manager. We just aren’t that club. We just aren’t that ownership. But by Christ is he making it hard to stand by him when he repeatedly picks the same players, who are repeatedly letting him and every last one of us down, game after game. He needs to help himself and put in players that will at least fight the full 90 because giving up like that at 3-1 is TOTALLY unacceptable. However frail confidence is. And I don’t see things being much different for the foreseeable under ANY new manager down to confidence being at rock bottom with everything. Discussed this after Forest but they are broken. Utterly broken. And I wouldn’t wish that job of trying to pick them up and fix that mentality, on Slot or anyone.
Personnel HAS to change though. That he can do to alter things. Konate HAS to be sat. This is non-negotiable now. Joe must wonder what the F he has to do to get a game? AllyMac too. Heck, he’s nowhere near the relevant quality, but start Endo. At least he’ll graft and fight. The FULL 90. Start Ramsey at right full if you have to. AndyRobbo the other side. Options are limited up top but Gakpo and Salah are looking as lost as anyone ….. Heck, let’s face it, aside of big Dom, and maybe Ekitike, you could change the whole other 9/ 10 as they’ve all been a disgrace in various ways. Just what got into van Dijk last night F only knows but it wasn’t good! Horrendous penalty to set us back from the get-go. Lucky to stay on after a mad booking. His head totally went. Help yourself mate and make changes because even P poor, bang average sides are taking the P now.
Maybe you try change formation? Tactically we aren’t that different to last season. We were slow paced to go more controlling then. Most every first half was like that as we tried to draw out the opposition and see what they were gonna’ do. But the mentality and confidence is that broken, if they don’t score first and get ahead, they can’t step it up and overcome adversity. Which negates any tactical plan right now.
There’s just SO many factors at play and SO much wrong you are at a total loss and left helpless as to how they fix this?
Just gonna’ have to tough it out until I turns.
But man alive is it getting harder by the passing game to stick with them when you are getting little to nothing back from them.
At least I get a day off Sunday as I refuse to go to that sham of an athletics stadium in Stratford. Don’t F lose that one L’pool for Pete’s sake! Even a draw will do right now to stop this haemorrhaging. Just show some fight and some pride and stem the blood loss as we are slipping towards flat lining fast here. Just show something.
This is beyond daft now.
Up the Reds! YNWA!
