Arne Slot

[Mr Pink]

Everyone suggesting Gerrard as an interim- I think they should offer Klopp 10m to 15m to do an interim job til the end of the season. Surely it’d be too much to turn down, for 2 months work. He’d get the fans behind the team, and one things for sure- we wouldn’t be out run and out worked under Klopp, the way we were today and so many times recently.

I’d say it would almost guarantee us a CL spot, and I think we’d have a decent chance at winning either the CL or FA cup.

And best of all, maybe he’d realize what he’s left behind and extend it beyond the summer…

[frank the tank]

Surely if Jurgen was willing to come back then they'd do that right now.

The Gala home match was the first I watched since the City match. I can't remember the last time I've not watched this many matches. I just see it as a waste of ****ing time and difficult to justify when balancing family live vs watching absolute wank.

I've made a decision that I won't watch another Premier League match this season and will just watch the cup games.

I'm that fan now

Same here really, I watched Galatasaray but not really bothering with the league games

I guess I'm being a bit dumb, but what does it mean 'breaking career highs' and one on Weds?

Most minutes played ever in a season

Szozbo passed his most minutes for a season last Wednesday. Most of them are available every week but they are not able to run hard for 90 mins. This is compounded by him not rotating enough and doing light training so as not to over exert the players

Slot + Pieters is the polar opposite to Klopp and Kornmayer from a training ideology perspective

[Bloodraven]

I’ve not bothered watching the last 2 games. I’m not sure I’ll watch another while this bloke is in charge.

Got better things to do than see one of his team play.

I've had the ipad on while I was doing other stuff for the pats 6-7 games. I'll look down at it from time to time or when the commentator or crowd go mental.

Slot and Hughes have to take the can on this - Maybe move ME back, although I doubt he's want to ?

There should be more than one head on the chopping block, that's for sure.

[BootRoom]

Which players could actually keep up this high-intensity play? Virg? Salah? Mac? Grav? Wirtz? That's 50% of our regular starting outfield, and I think they'd all struggle in one way or another. Did you see Frimpong today? He's got exceptional speed but came up against a player just as fast, but bigger and stronger too; he (Frimpong) had to stretch and strain every fibre of his being to stay in the fight - you could see the extra effort a more diminutive player has to make in order to at least make a fist of it vs a bigger opponent - there is no doubting the effort but how big a toll is this constant effort going to take, notwithstanding the numerous injury setbacks he's already had? And that's ignoring how much of a liability he is with high-balls to the back post.

The balance of the squad looks totally off, with too many passengers when we haven't got the ball.

[Catrin]

The idea must have been to try to keep as much of the squad cost as possible on the pitch. So higher quality players but manage their intensity so that you need a smaller squad. It would explain the reluctance to bench Mo given how much he is paid and the lack of alternatives. They probably thought they were being clever but it hasn’t worked and you can’t really switch mid-season as we can’t cover the injuries that come with high intensity hard running tactics. For that reason I don’t think they will make a change until the summer. They were ruthless with Kenny, but gave Brendan the start if the following season and let him sign Benteke. We might still see Arne next season.

His family didn’t move with him and he goes back regularly, we’ve been unlucky with injuries but the biggest factor is our fitness

Keeping players available is great but not at the cost of stamina and durability. Slot then compounds it by playing slooooow football to keep it low event. These players are still mostly Klopp era and you saw on Wednesday how to get the best from them. The problem is that they were so knackered that they couldn’t run today.

In the PL every game is a fight and you must match the work of the opponent to be in with a chance. We are simply not doing that.

This waiting until the summer is ****ing pathetic as well, he’s a dead man walking and that surely filters down into the squad. This season has been a monumental **** up, 10 games list with 7 to go. Even with Nat, Hendo, Fab and Rhys alternating at Cb we didn’t lose that many.

This is 100% on the money and won't change until we get rid of this blagger. He talks a good game but he's always been on about this training load since he came here and he's got it horribly wrong. We're so unfit and have so many injuries, some not through training but it's fair to say it's unravelled spectacularly.
