If Slot wanted Kerkez used as a decoy he wouldn’t have him inverting.
Gakpo doesn’t use runners because he’s selfish/doesn’t have the quality to use them. Can’t blame that on Slot’s coaching, only Slot’s choice to pick him.

I doubt it as Kerkez looks frustrated and overlaps less and less. It’s the typical reaction of an overlapping player when he’s giving up wasting his energy.

Sorry I possibly replied after a few beers so may have misunderstood! 
Wasn’t the question something like which teams were a ‘flash in the pan’ winning the league? I must have got the wrong end of the stick as I have no idea what you’re on about talking about finishing 2nd.

I think you post quite often after more than a few beers!
Only in the morning.
For fucks sakes, get him gone already.
3 promoted sides and we needed a last min gift of a pen to win the only one we did. Absolute fucking joke.

I’ll nail my colors to the mast now and say I can’t see this turning around under him. Dead man walking.

I am not sure what our coaches and boys do on the training pitch handling set piece, especially it’s all Slot talks about. Are we now at the bottom of the league in terms of defending a corner? This is fucking ridiculous.

Lack of confidence/mentality and stuff like that. Without that training, tactics etc mean shit.
Just sack him. Apparently he will be sacked anyway.

Having competent players would go a long way towards turning this around but, yeah, that old adage: if the team isn’t working, you don’t sack the players, you sack the boss. This is Brendan-Rodgers-2015-level of atrocious.

24 goals conceded in 15 games.The sooner he is sacked the better.
What frustrates me is set pieces is all Slot talks about, and if he is so fucking laser focus on it, then work on it. We are so poor in defending corners, or taking advantages of corners that we won.

I’d like to think that when going through confidence issues etc that you could revert back to your training and tactics to at least make sure you’re doing the right actions. Unfortunately I see precious little evidence that they have anything to fall back on.
I’m still begging to see any kind of progress in our playing style. It’s been ugly this season obviously but it also kind of fell apart at the end of last season, which we put down to players switching off when the league was won, but now it seems more of a rooted issue.
Frankly you’ve just got to question whether Slot actually is good enough for this job.

I think the way we defend set pieces coming into our box… is we just put a cluster of players in there to create ‘Keystone Cops’ moments… It is this cluster that fucks us up from defending the ball coming in…
What is the point of Ibou being 6’4", when he slides into a tackle he has no need to do… The guy must be in the worst from of his entire life… and we are suffering because of it…!

yeah Alonso right now has a good feel to it.
all the talk was using LFC as a stepping stone to the Madrid job for him, now if he comes in, that whole rumour mill and pressure is a non entity, AND he doesnt have to endlessly be compared to Klopp
im trying to not lay the boot into Slot though, feels like a shitty thing to do… tough times…

Alonso is under contract in Madrid and they are not far off Barca in the table. No ways he’s leaving mid season.
