Stalling careers of three players he allowed to move on because he wasn’t convinced by them.
Honestly it’s just laughable now. The only player to express dissatisfaction with his playing time is the one who’s played in pretty much every game for eight years and was asked to sit on the bench for a couple games.
Inane bullshit spouted by some another bullshit “fan” account.
I’m not sure if I can point to exactly what has me feeling this way, but I’m starting to think that there’s a chance Slot might get sacked if we get decimated at Arsenal. Even though he’s stopped the bleeding, the performances have been less than inspired and there have been a few small leaks about the players being unhappy with what’s going on.
I’m not sure how much stock I’ll put in the “reporting” about the disconnect between Slot and Hughes et al re: Rio and or finding a Diaz replacement. I’m inclined to put little stock in it now, but it’s the first time I’ve heard people speculate about a disconnect between Arne and his bosses.
I’m not sure how much stock I can put in the reporting which indicates that we intend a quiet transfer window, despite reports linking Guehi to City. All I’ll say is that there is an obvious need for reinforcements, and the fact that the club is sitting on their hands could mean that they don’t want to invest in Arne’s squad when they’re considering sacking him.
So, maybe I’m reading the tea leaves here incorrectly. But the vibes are not favoring Arne at the moment. The only saving grace is the dearth of quality replacements. However, if United go after someone Liverpool has their eyes on, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them make a quick move.
Liverpool would purchase players regardless who the manager is, that’s the new setup. And it evidently seems what happened in the summer. There is no point in a football director if a set up is dependent on the manager.
That’s an oversimplification. Liverpool is going to buy players which is consistent with the head coach’s setup and play style. They’re not going to just buy players without considering those factors.
I interpreted “I’ll take a step back if you don’t mind” as “I’d take a step back if you don’t mind”. As it was more suited to the narrative of the rest of the post.
To think that the amount of money we paid for Wirtz alone could have got us Guehi AND Wharton last summer…
On top of that the Isak transfer.
IMO next transfer window we should spend money to actually expand the squad.
I do remember Klopp used to have lots of senior midfielders on hand, even though Ox/Lallana/Keita spent too much time injured. OTOH, we only have 5-6 right now.
A squad of about 18-20 is fine if supplemented with decent youth players, problem is only two maybe three players deserve praise this season
To me it looks like a half built side, you’ve got ample choice in places but other your the bare bones.You can’t risk a second half of a season based on that CB options and if they do Slot will deserve more sympathy than he is getting.
