ohhh_yeah 3615 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 “It’s always a bit of a bumpy road if you change,” said Slot after his team’s defeat to Brentford. “That is not so surprising. But four (league) losses in a row?” "Teams seem have a certain playing style against us, which is a very good strategy to play, and we haven't found an answer yet." "You cannot even compete, which we don't do at the moment, because we simply concede too many goals." "It definitely also has to do with if you change quite a lot during the summer, then I think it's not a surprise that it can go a bit like this. But I didn't expect it to go with four losses in a row, let that be clear." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 4657 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 He speaks like he’s the only manager ever to face an opponent who has a gameplan to beat him. He’s describing the situation faced by every single professional football manager. Seems like first season he got away with it but he’s been figured out. First by Howe in the League Cup final and now by everyone else six months later. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzler 16112 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 He’s bought into the Liverpool culture quicker than I expected. Someone must have fast tracked his victim card. Why won’t anyone just roll over and have their bellies tickled? Don’t they know it’s Liverpool? They deserve things. Nice things. It’s not fair. Why won’t these small clubs let Liverpool win? 9 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woltemagic 109 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 They have Aston Villa home and then City away. They could quite easily lose both of them also. Sounds daft but if they did that would be 7 in a row. Would he get sacked for that? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 9863 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 (edited) I don’t think he would but he’ll be in the firing the line. they’ve been shite since the back end of last season. Every game I watched at the start of the season, they somehow managed to win whilst playing shite. its beautiful.

wykikitoon 28481 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Spoke to the dipper gaffer yesterday and couldnt stop smiling at him whilst talking football He said if that Van Dijk tackle that give away the pen happened in the middle of the box it wouldn't have been given. But because it was out the box they gave it. Which I said thats the problem. The refs give so many fouls etc outside the box, but then shit their pants in the box. If its a FK outside the box, its a FK in the box. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past we’ve got frustrated at Howe not throwing new signings in straightaway but there’s clearly a method behind it.

Holden McGroin 9863 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Wenger always said you should only add 2-3 players per season. Obviously that’s down to circumstance, but Liverpool didn’t need to do this. Especially the signings of Isak and Ekitike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slot is like a classic 'Championship Manager/Football Manager' bellend - spend money like it's going out of fashion and hoping it all sticks. The 'coaching' is absolutely dogshit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 12322 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 And he's hiding behind the fact they won the league last year. It's meaningless as it was with an inherited squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 39128 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 I honestly think that the signing of Isak was about saving face. Ekitike had already scored three in three for them and was looking the real deal. Isak was definitely not essential to them but because it had become the saga of the summer I think they thought it would appear weak not to sign him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took Klopp’s squad and undoubtedly got more out of it than Klopp was getting so I’ll give him credit for that. I’ll also acknowledge that the players signed this summer were most likely not identified by him but where he does come in for criticism is that he has absolutely made a championship winning side less competitive this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those agree to disagree moments then. I'm still of the view Man City completely shit the bed else we'd have seen repeat of 23/24. Arsenal should have been there to pick up the pieces but they choked. Liverpool did instead. They knew Trent was on his way and it's largely suggested they knew Diaz wasn't hanging around and he didn't at all rate Nunez. With that landscape as the backdrop they went all out to ensure VVD & Salah stayed on - not because they were wise footballing decisions, but to appease their fanbase. He's been instrumental in those decisions and, if he hasn't, then he's exposing weakness as a result. He's the Emporer's New Clothes for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 22422 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 (edited) Slott did two fairly simple things last season: 1. Carrot/stick Salah for a new contract. I think we're seeing the results of that this season. 2. Change Gravenbach's position That acheived the consistency required to win the title when as mentioned all others faltered.
