Well I thought that would be obvious to someone as intelligent as you. Which poster made you ask?
You a glass half-full person. To add to your assessment, it was draws vs ultra-shit teams, some of them at home.

The more I see us defend the more we need to go 3 at the back, but and a big but, is we don’t have any CB’s
Reason being and it has been nearly all season, the opposition keep benefiting in the half space between our CB and fullbackand hoepfully having a 3rd CB wouldclose that space up.
Also, we just don’t have the right balance up top need intelligent movement and pace and we just don’t have it.
Far from it, I don’t even mind the draws or loses if we play good exciting football, but we’re not,we’re boring and predictable. The least we can ask for in that situation is that we win

Sorry, mis- read your post and was thinking you said half empty
It’s so desperately unfunny at this point, and at the point of trolling. If it continues @The-AllMightyReds is going to be banned.

back to Slot and theres been plenty on here that over the last few months have uttered the famous words;
‘thats on the players, not on Slot’
which i understand given the context of a game, or an individual moment (see VVD today)… but im of the opposite opinion, that Slots only in a job BECAUSE of the quality of the players.
we win games because we have better players, we win games because we can afford a better squad, in moments these players let the team down, but the team isnt winning games beauce of its organisation and collective spirit and mentality, the team is simply only winning games because someone like Wirtz can eventually find someone like Ekitikes feet and one of them will score.
its a simple as that. Slot cant get a free pass on blaming Gravenberch for not running back, whilst claiming the system put the ball in the back of the net in the plus column.
its horrible horrible football to watch.

It’s Hughes which is the greater problem, he’s the architect of this mess.

Watching TAW and one is saying something needs to chane, I am not Slot out but something needs to change, what?
If it’s not the manager what?
What a load of crap, our buying of players isn’t down to one man, Slot and others will have input.
Anyone telling me that he doesn’t have say in where we need to strengthen is talking nonsense and we all know what Arne thought in relation to PSG and low blocks.
It seems he or them never thought other teams would have the temerity to attack us or have a different way of playing.
Jurgan always new that you had to fight and run to have the right to win games in the premier league

Why look at the players he got in for Bournemouth who just beat us
I was being reactionary!.
I liked the old days when it was Gordon and Edwards in charge and our manager Jürgen
Every manager that’s ever coached is on the job because of the quality of their players. So you’re not saying anything new or particularly intelligent.
We don’t win games because we have the quality. We win games because we SHOW the quality. For 90mins!!!
In what way?
Needed fullbacks, bought what most people thought were two of the best options.
Bought a CB to replace Quansah. Not Hughes’ fault he got injured.
Bought one of the best young players on the planet from under the noses of Bayern.
Bought two top strikers.
Guehi was all wrapped up but we got rug pulled by Palace. Aside from the Diaz situation I’m not sure why the finger would be pointed at him.

I think we’re in for a world of hurt, not just when it comes to this season. The squad overhaul from the previous summer seems to be just the first part - even when everyone’s fit, you’d wonder how many want to remain or are worth keeping. Gomez, Robbo, Konate, Endo, Mac Allister, Salah, Chiesa… I don’t see any of them being here past the next summer, which means that we’ll still need a host of new players, who all have to bed in, with a new head coach probably to arrive and make them gel, and that in World Cup summer. This is a mess of club’s own making.
Taking a step back and getting back to the thinking between 2016 and 2018 when it comes to planning player ins and outs is what the club currently needs - aside from the new head coach. I actually thought majority of the football we played against Burnley and Bournemouth was worlds apart from the dross we’ve been served up this season but the defensive side is worthy of a Monty Python’s sketch. I can believe we keep conceding but I can’t believe we’re conceding the same goals over and over again.
