It’s a better statement than what he said under pressure. Even if it’s the club PR at least they have recognised it’s probably not a good thing to gripe at the people who pay money to watch them.
Fan base has every reason to react that way, we made Spurs look good. They are probably one of the worst teams in this league currently.
And then picks the same players that haven’t performed!
It’s the club’s PR stepping in to help the club. It is not in the club’s interest to have a gap opening up between manager and fans, especially while we are still fighting in the CL and fighting to get into next season’s comp.
So the fans will get behind the team to get the result we need against Galatasaray, but Slot is obviously on very thin ice and most are expecting his departure. The main unanswered question is the timing.
If he was a bit more reflective in real time, not bothered about post game but pre game comments have in my view been awkward as well then it would help.
If this is entirely PR led mind then it’s not if in the next 6 months but when.
Take a night off ffs
Would be a bold move.
Arne In 
The thing is, we’ve often played well intermittently, only to be absolutely terrible the next time. The trust is simply gone, which shouldn’t surprise anyone. I’m enjoying tonight and I’m really happy for the lads. But that doesn’t change anything for now.
Exactly we need to see more of it and Substantive to change my mind which does change from end of the season to asap.
After tonight I’d say the end of the season.
Well, let’s hope that light bulb in his nice and shiny bald head went on properly after the booing from the home match against Spuds, and realised that LFC supporters need energies from the players (and vice versa), and himself, to feed on. (I think that Macca and StevieG said the same thing on TNT post match too, well, they did not say the shiny and bright bald head part.)
I’ve never seen him so animated on the sidelines. He was certainly feeling the pressure.
It was nice to see a great 45 minutes followed by another great 45 minutes, haven’t seen a 90 minute performance like that since early last season
I have been critical of Arne and his tactical setup and probably rightly so.
But well done today and great to see the emotion on the sideline, the team needed it we needed it.
The match last night was very nearly the same as last season’s title winning tactics. Salah tucking in and being closer to the goal, the LW tucking in. Both wingers playing off the CF. The fullbacks providing the width required. The only difference this season and last season was we had TAA last season and Wirtz this season.
We didn’t have a lot of top class creativity in the team last season to break low blocks and TAA was used as the player to ping balls anywhere to force the opposition to shift their shape which gave us openings. This season, we have Wirtz instead who is a playmaker who thrives off dribbling with the ball on his feet and helping players to play off him/getting players to play him in.
For some reason, Slot tinkered a lot and fucked up the entire shape for the entire season, not realising that Wirtz can indeed have the same effect, if not a even better effect in breaking the opposition block compared to TAA. That also meant not much tinkering was actually needed.
If he somehow overcomes PSG over 2 legs, and overcome the winner of RM vs BM, we might really have the chance of winning the UCL this season. That will most likely guarantee his contract extension.
That’s a lot of ifs.
Yesterday, the players were allowed to play to their full potential. Normally, he lets them play in his own style, for fear of losing. Despite all the talk that he feels the board’s support, it became clear that he had been made to understand that continuing in this vein was unacceptable. Hence his Diego Simeone-style outburst on the touchline.
The most interesting question is what’s next in the UCL against a very strong PSG.
Will he revert back to type or will he continue in this vein?
My guess is that he will revert back to type…
Mine too – he only lets us play like that when his back’s against the wall. When he arrived, we were told he was like Klopp, but he’s the complete opposite of Klopp.
Sorry, but this was pretty much why Wirtz was signed.
