People talking about Slot needing to drop the experiment, like it’s something he’s fucking around with rather than trying to find the best solution to missing our first 3 RBs, is bizarre.
And with all that, for as little as a constructive impact he had, him at RB was not why we were so bad for the first hour. We struggled dreadfully to get the ball out of our defensive end. Fulham pressured us incredibly well, the midfielders and forwards didnt offer anywhere near enough help resulting in the ball being at the feet of the least talented players in the side forcing them to solve that problem. Understandably, that went poorly.
Didn’t create anything until after the 2nd half changes which came too late. Good thing we have Bradley and hopefully Allison back next week. We have a week off for VVD,Salah and Robo to get some rest. Diaz need to start all games until we mathematically win the league.
Agreed, I thought he did alright. Konate was the worry for me.
We never fucking learn arsing about at the back. Time and time again we cough up chances, mostly get away with it but got punished today. We’ll still be doing it next week though.
Frustrating, because we gave them the win. Individual errors from the defenders. Konate misjudging the ball and Jones poor control on the first, Robertson with two big errors and then deflecting the shot in for the second and van Dijk allowing himself to get bullied on the 3rd.
Next week I would like to see Diaz returned to the roaming CF role with Cody on the left and Fede on the right. Jota isnt making a great case to keep his place, Darwin is increasingly lost when coming on, and Mo has been totally anonymous for weeks.
