You have to wonder whether Slot knows as well and has tried to get out and FSG wont let him 
I’m far from an adept, but I think it’s too straighforward and litteral.
My take:
One thousand footfalls
Longer days, forever mist
They remain silent

Of course it is fanciful.
Settling aside what he actually believes about his own abilities, he isn’t going throw his hands up, admit the job is too big for him and walk.
a) he would be damaging his chances of ever working at an elite club again and b) giving up millions in compensation.
Nobody here would do that.

Where did you find that one?
Yup your not walking away when you have a chance of getting a pay off 2 months later.
Straight from my brain.
This is a very well made point I intended to elaborate on at the time, but then forgot. I have been confused not only where this has come from but how it has taken ahold so firmly in so many places. The idea he needs traditional wingers was not what was said about him before he arrived and it does not reflect what our success was based on last season.
This is an interesting write up of how his teams had been set up at AZ and Feyenoord that was published when we first announced his hiring, and it does not support this idea at all.
I think we miss Diaz the player. We maybe miss the person. We have been hurt by Cody and Mo both having such awful seasons. But these are not personnel-system mismatches of Slot not having the players needed to play what has always been known as Slotball. I understand the attraction of it as an answer as it simplifies what went wrong and how to fix it. But it’s not the right answer.

Just to clarify my statement on the wingers revisionism this appeared to start around the time the long ‘mitigating circumstances’ articles were being written from November onwards.

Yeah and I get the focus on it with Slot starting to talk so much around that time of the need to beat a defender on the dribble to get around a low block. So there is maybe a sense that if we had two peak aged Rio’s this season we may have done better at doing what Slot seemingly has wanted to do to get around the challenge he has faced this season. But that is most definitely not the football that earmarked him as the best guy for the job or what the team was supposed to be put together to do.

It’s annoyed me since things started going south no wonder he turned the comments off.
Anyhow this is that shit video that I actually watched. I hope this guy gets the shits he can’t shift.

Another article from Paul Joyce in quick succession? Hmmm.
Article is paywalled. Use archive.today.
Last sentence of the article:
A perfect performance is required when everything about this team is imperfect. Should they return to Merseyside with everything still to play for, then what would that really prove other than it was all about the attitude all along.

Starting to have my doubts, to be fair.

So now its the players fault? Excuse after excuse with the local Journalists. I thought this season was a free pass because they’re still grieving? There’s one constant here I’m afraid and as much as the hierarchy don’t want to sack Slot, once the players aren’t on your side its over.

Is this a credible source? I am genuinely asking.
It used to be a joke, a parody account, but last summer they were often spot on and it seemed as though they had a genuine source when it came to LFC.
Joyce writes that the reaction against PSG could decide Slot’s future. Finally, he’s talking about it. At least it finally shows that they’re not burying their heads in the sand anymore. But… these players have often “reacted briefly,” only to then act like a bunch of clowns again. It doesn’t really mean anything you can rely on.

It’s just Indykaila again, but mutual consent would be the most obvious solution.

Ah ok. Thanks, I don’t follow social media. I hope it’s true.
