Arne Slot

It smells of club for sale…..

I wouldn't be surprised if he is still here next season, he was they guy they wanted based on the stats and profile etc. I think the could easily view it as one bad season with alot of mitigating factors.

[peterbread]

They have to say that whilst there is much to play for.

They can’t exactly come out and say ‘the bald fraud has been found out, don’t tell anyone, but we are going to give him the bullet the moment the season ends’.

I mean, there’s obvs a chance it’s true but this rings of the end of the Roger’s era when everyone can see that the things that need fixing have grown way outside of the managers ability to fix them. He is careering from one tactic and formation to another.

We are now taking on water to a point where it’s impossible to see us staying afloat. At least with this captain (#metaphor!)

Agree I don’t buy the line coming out and the club isn’t one to say anything else right now. Plus plenty of overseas journalists have been saying Alonso is being lined up.

It’s interesting that the standards keep dropping. First it was he needs champions league football next season and now it doesn’t matter where we finish. If that’s the real attitude no wonder the standards have dropped on the pitch.

[vlahka]

If he stays we can expect more of the same and probably lose more of our best players once they get sick of it.

With all these articles about backing Slot next season one key piece is missing and that’s any talk of a new deal. If they really did back him and think there were issues beyond his control this season they’d give him a new deal. They keep saying they want to give him everything he needs to succeed so wouldn’t that include a new deal too.

Said that weeks ago

[BG1973]

Would that not be the leak then?

I'll have some of what you're smoking

I don't think there is any chance of Kompany coming to us if Pep is leaving City. Is Luis Enrique realistically available? His current contract runs to the end of next season. He has built one of the best-performing CL sides at PSG. Why would he cleave that to come to us?

Sure, yes but I'm just saying who I'd like. Bayern seem to play class football and I love the cut of Kompany's jib. They're also top tier which I'd like us to aim for rather than punts on up and coming. Like Slot was. You buy guys like Wirtz and Isak, you're making yourself top tier. Get a manager to match that.

[Slinky Skills]

Would be pretty ****ing funny getting Kompany in and beat City at Etihad haha

Agree on liking Kompany and his approach. Even when the teams ahead he wants them to keep going and no stopping and sitting back. No defensive substitute either. Dominate from start to finish and show everyone how good you are. Big club mentality. I want to see the team go out and attack and not just win but scare opposition and be a team no one wants to play against.

We were told Slot was the top choice because of how little change there would be to the team and style of play and how he was very similar to Klopp in terms of football style. But the more he puts his mark on the team the further it is from anything like Klopp.

[DerKrampus]

Fair ****s to Kompany but he seems to be a bit myopic when it comes to pulling back the attacking intent to hold a lead.

This is what bugs me

He came, played very similar to Klopp's team with a few tweaks and won the league

Then changed everything

[Norbs]

He's a dopey looking cunt, maybe looks Aren't deceiving in this instance

Thars what makes him look useless. Tbe furtber he gets from Klopp the worse the team looks.

Slots team identity has no identity. Its just 11 players trying to play football with no real an or direction. It feels like a dinosaur tactically. There is nothing there.

100%. Under Jurgen - and Rafa too in fairness and somewhat recently - no team wanted to be drawn against us in Europe, especially at home. The feeling is obvious now that home and away, league, CL and any competition, most teams will feel they've got a real chance against us.
