Managers don’t turn this type of malaise around. Maybe if you’re building something up and you have a wobble of a season along the way. But you don’t win the league, put in a season like this and then get the team back up to fighting for titles again.
I just can’t believe we’ll keep him. Results can swing on tiny margins but performances consistently this bad is way more than just not getting your share of the luck.
That’s sort of what I mean. Perhaps early on last season when things were going well it was fine. But then into a second year and things not going so well that might just feel like a tougher thing to contend with.
I’m absolutely speculating and have no evidence but there’s a lot that feels wrong despite all the noise saying he’ll be here next season. And he only signed a three year deal. Surely he’d be wanting a new one ahead of next season as a show of faith the club is behind him. But there’s been nothing on an extension being in the works. Perhaps he’s looking at it thinking he doesn’t want to essentially be on a “prove it” final year of his deal having won the league.
Pure guesswork but I don’t buy the coordinated messages of him being here next season.
Anyone who is looking at our season and seeing encouragement in the stats is looking at the wrong stats. It’s been one of my biggest frustrations with Slot that far too often he has talked up awful performances, suggesting it was bad luck that we lost/didn’t win, pointing to some statistics like possession or xG that seemingly to him indicated we did close to what he wanted
What an utter load of nonsense.
What exactly are they working on for gods sake
The team only has one month to go with a handful of matches remaining. Unless the boys are sick of each other and the coaches, there was no rhyme or reason that they do not work more on the training pitch to get the most out as-a-team to end the season on a high. Instead, they went on a fucking holiday break every bloody week since we were no longer have mid-week matches.
The collapse of cohesiveness that we were famous for in the past 9 years terrifies me for the team’s future. Slot has started this rot, and it will take a long time for us to recover.
I mean, nobody here knows such intimate informations, but really this game is full of situations where families are separated, at least for a certain amount of time at the beginning. It mostly depends on kids, if there are any and what is the situation with them.
3-year contracts in such a situation (the profile of Liverpool getting a profile like Arne Slot at the moment of getting him) is pretty normal. I wouldn’t expect less, I wouldn’t expect much more than that, either.
He might want more, that assurance (a new contract), but he might not get it. And both parties could be willing to go into next season with a year left and then at some point decide what to do going forward.
A while ago I thought we might want to resolve that this summer, but of course having a year left with a player is not the same as with the head coach.
Only question I have is why is he still here?
Does anyone that watch understand what is being asked of them, so how would the players.
Any tactical assessment I have seen, are just as lost as I am in how we are supposed to play.
Status quo will mean we will increase the 1 by 100%.
Slot should go , so should Hughes and Edwards…and wirtz , isak and frimpong are not good enough for this club imo.
For me, Edwards is the only 1 of the 3 who’s proven he’s up to it.
Bit harsh giving Isak shit considering his injury record.
That’s about how I see it. Could have egg on my face, but I think Slot is off and Alonso is a done deal, and has been for a little while. My guess is there are going to be a lot of ‘speeches’ and farewells on the pitch on the last day.
Hopefully it coincides with CL qualification, and everyone puts their best foot forward after a dog turd of a season.
If you look at our starting lineup and our bench versus theirs… winning today would have taken luck, an extraordinary performance or superior tactics.
Today we didn’t have any of that and got an expected result.
The issue is that a good manager should be able to give us some hope or belief that the unexpected is possible. This isn’t happening at the moment.
Going into the summer I’m going to want to see that hope rekindled or I’ll probably be watching fewer games next season (to avoid the pain). A change in manager would probably be the easiest way to rekindle that hope… but I’m open to being convinced in other ways.
This is a bit bollocks though how many times have they played Plymouth or PSV.
Rather we stick to goals conceded, number of losses and so on.
He also did win a title, he has to go but this silly social media posting doesn’t help.
The loss today isn’t bad considering what we have….
The period of December and January when we drew to some of the poorest sides with a full strength team is the issue.
Psv 7 times Plymouth 12 times
