We were ok for 25 mins then shot ourselves in the foot conceding a bad goal and then disappeared for about 30 mins, and then we made subs that turned the game into a mess.
We are a brittle side…one trying to figure out what it’s supposed to be and easily thrown off our stride. That reflects poorly on management
It is sad but we need to look at phasing out our older players and need a overhaul, I have loved Virg but he needs rest he looks mentally fatigued and just keeps making errors,need quality reinforcements.
Mo just a shadow of what he was, the opposition doesn’t fear him and we all know about Cody’s limitations.
Finally Slot, just isn’t getting the best out of the players he has and no idea how to get us creating or improving players even when a game is wide open.
Youg Rio, what are our coaches telling him or coaching him what to do as he just imitates Gakpo, cutting inside, when he has the ability to go outside as well.
The pace of the game had nothing to do with not being able to defend a long throw in. They’re all international level players and they mentally switch off in the last seconds of the game. Inexcusable!
Slot can only pick the players he has .
It’s not his fault if the players put half hearted attempts to clear the ball in the end or do dilly dallying on the ball.
The one person who should go is Hughes for me. How is slot expected to bench someone who is not in form…when there is no one else to bring.
How was a league title winning team left with thread bare defence.
If Hughes had the balls to turn a manager position to a coach instead to flex his wings…then he should also be held accountable for this joke of a hand given to Slot. An assumption that Rio will make do for selling Diaz as well. And , the fck up of Guehi.
two things slot has complained about all season are defending set pieces (conceded most in Pl, were is briggs when you need a scapegoat)
and low blocks, and dude is nowhere, solving either one
Slot has had players to rotate but hever does, so those players become disenchanted because even if they have done good with the few minutes they have had, he doesn’t pick them.
Also, his quotes on why a player isn’t considered, further dents their confidence.
