I assume the instruction was donāt go out there and donāt impress me as Iāve already picked my side for next week.
Anyhow if we ignore that game the bench looks good

Didnāt see it, but wondering if Jota might have edged ahead of Nunez as the number one central striker in Slotās eyes? Or if it was more a function of Nunez arriving back later, so taking longer to get up to speed?

Quite a few of these only just back. Really mixed team and an empty stadium. Not overly surprised it didnāt amount to much.

If he keeps smashing them in like that left footed volley, no complaints here.
I am hoping Nunez kicks on under Slot. All the athletic gifts are there, along with a few question marks over his finishing. If it clicks, he will score 30.

Just watching the 2nd game and Nunez was way out of sorts poor decison making, weak shots and heavy touches.
Hopefully it is pre-season rustiness, but needs to improve to be considered a starter in front of Slots boy Slota

I like the hands on coaching. Donāt want to be too simplistic, but two things seem to come across to me.
First, positioning is crucial. That seems to be what he was working on with Konate. I suspect that Konateās athletic ability, and size, have helped him compensate for positioning that might occasionally be less than perfect. Slot wants better positioning. Bring it on! One other aspect about the positioning is not just as individuals, but also as a team, in particular when we are out of possession. I noticed in preseason that it seemed more disciplined, and there were less gaps out there for the opposition to exploit. In time, I expect this to help us reduce the amount of goals and chances we concede.
The second main thing Iāve noticed with his coaching is how he likes the players to zip it about, close quarters, in passing drills. I expect this will translate onto the pitch in real games with some very slick passing, quick burst, bam bam bam, to open them up.
I think we will have more control in games, and will will have the ability to play slowly, and thoughtfully, before going quick quick quick.
It will be fascinating to see how it all develops.

If heās actually talking to him about what it looks like he is talking about then itās pretty concerning that he didnāt already know that
