Toss up whether to put it in the post Wolves game or here but due to it being a repetitive problem thought this was the best place.
BTW I am a positive minded coach and believe we should push to win games, but not without thought to shape of the team.

He’s just too wedded to his way of wanting to play. Nothing wrong with that and I absolutely would not want a Sporting Director to get involved with tactics, etc but I’d like to know if Hughes has had a conversation with him and brought up why he is persisting with something that is clearly not working vs what has worked and what we know works.

I don’t see that, but what I see is worse. After wolves Slot said he doesn’t know why we were play) g that slow and we need to move it quicker. Virgil said the same. That has been a theme. The manager wants t9 see something, he isn’t seeing it well/often enough yet it just repeats game after game after game.

I agree with what you are saying, but I want to marry both points. Slot will be sacked if FSG do not think he is the right man to take the club forward. There will be a review, and all the data points of the whole season will be factored in.
AND if we don’t qualify for the CL, that will be a massive data point counting against Slot, to say nothing of the large hole in the finances.
The two points aren’t the same, but for me there is a lot of overlap on the venn diagram.

i have a feeling we due a similar thumping with the way we playing especially with our slow and shit 1st halfs… one team in the next 8 games is gonna hit that perfect 1st half patch and drill us for 4-5 goals before the half is over

The point wasn’t this is the worst football since Rodgers, the point was is this worst football since Hodgson and I’ve offered up an alternative that it isn’t. It’s Rodgers standard.
I’ve brought evidence and you’ve brought a prediction.

I do think that the squad size is too small. I know Slot prefers that, but I think our late game blunders are in part because our players look knackered in the final minutes and Slot doesn’t feel comfortable rotating. I know his training approach is less insane than Jurgen’s, and you could consider the merits of that less rigorous approach. But at the same time, if fitness levels have dropped, you’ll need to rotate more often. And Slot doesn’t feel comfortable rotating with some of our key players - if there are even options available for him to do so.

I get it that they are homegrown, but they are not that good (especially Morton).
He hasn’t exactly lit it up anywhere else and we need better quality.
Quansah maybe… but I think there are better options considering he left to be an immediate starter.
