Forest away Sunday 22nd February at 2pm

[Charly]

But the performances have been mostly bad. Newcastle was decent for the most part, but even then the holes in midfield were obvious.

Slot is not winning anyone over. We had the best midfield last year. Now it looks attrocious.

[Catrin]

Pass completion of 77% is low by Alexis’s standards, as is 74% by Virgil’s. As for Mo, not a single shot, on target or otherwise, and only one attempted assist. And he’s smiling and shaking his head when subbed. Who the **** does he think he is? ****ing Pele?

[Mark79]

He thinks he’s Salah.

He’s been an elite player for near on a decade. He gets frustrated when he’s subbed off, he’ll know he hasn’t performed well. So what?

All that matters, for the rest of this season, is results. Don't care if we play pretty football, win ugly or fluke wins.

It is a mess of a season for so many reasons, some in Slot's control, some out of his hands.

But none of that matters now that we are in the final third of the season. Last season matters not a jot, neither does any season before that.

It is just results between now and the finishing lines in each competition we are in.

The club can figure out styles of play, pretty football, identity and whatever else come the summer.

Another thing I have to say is that really was a terrible refereeing performance out there today. There’s dog**** and then there’s whatever the **** that was. Utterly atrocious. VAR to one side entirely the man with the whistle needs to take a look at himself after that.

[SB]

Only just watched the highlights but there weren’t many for us . I think Maccas first goal should have stood, benefit of the doubt whether it hit his back or the back of his arm when he was looking away & in a natural position. Huge bullet dodged.

[Fierce]

Macca was ****e. Dan's asphyxiation comment was not

Whole team were ****ing rubbish. Getting boring now

[Harv]

I hate him.

[Harv]

Shouldn't you be asphyxiwanking in a carebear costume or something?

what an odd thing to say to someone

Theres no excuses for being a little primadonna prick no matter how good you've been. Dude thinks he's bigger than the club

Slot needs to grow a pair of bollocks and bench him again. He's useless out there now, and his attitude when he doesn't get his way absolutely stinks.

[Harv]

Also Slot can **** right off with this 2 GK's on the bench ****. Been happening for weeks on end now. Give the spot to one of the young players that deserves a spot like this Sonni Lamb lad. They probably wont play, but it gives them a taste of the first team.

I seriously cannot stand this guy anymore. Awful football, awful tactics, awful man management.

Fair point

You got to feel for Jones being dropped after his performance last week filling in at RB. It must be frustrating seeing others underperforming and getting picked no matter what.

Today also showed how good Wirtz is and how important he’s become for the team linking everything together and bringing others into the game.

Jones was lucky to come out for the second half in my opinion.

I like him. I think he is a decent squad option and probably deserves to play more this season because MacAllister has been poor. In my opinion it has to be a meritocracy when it is a big club. So Jones has the right to be a bit disappointed with his minutes. Because MacAllister has been poor. But having said that, Jones hasnt exactly made it rain for lfc in any game this season either.

Slots starting line up wasn't correct today in my opinion. The fact that he started Dom at right back suggests he thought that forest would have sat back and he would have had more space. But his subs were good. Robbo and Gomez both played well when they came on and so did Rio obviously. I don't think we can see Salah and Gakpo both start as our wide players in the same line up.

I'm with Frank on this one.

Jones was absolutely atrocious in midfield and to be honest i've a feeling that the premierleague will never suit him - fine in Europe but wants far too long on the ball. I'm basically repeating what Carragher said at half time, i.e. Jones will never change. So its starting to dawn on me why Slot doesn't trust him, even when we are so bad. It's a replica of when everyone was calling for Gomez to replace Konate earlier in the season. Sometimes the replacement is no better than the binfire in front of you.

But regardless of whether we have more possession or not Szoboszlai at RB isn't a good solution.

Also down with Gakpo and Salah starting together, its hamstringing in midfield, even now Salah has been asked to do more the other way, its still not enough.
