The fact that we keep hearing about how safe Slot’s job is when we are awful to watch, completely ineffective and about to post one our worst ever PL points totals is crazy.
We’re rich enough and had a good enough platform to still beat out clubs like Bournemouth for the top 5 but that isn’t a feather in his cap, it’s the absolute bare-minimum.
Slot is surely gone. I can’t believe FSG will keep hold, even assuming we finish in the CL spots. He won’t get a proper reset, and going into the new season with a toxic situation bubbling just beneath the surface seems stupid. And I don’t think FSG are stupid.
Both our Leverkusen lads arrived with questions about how we saw them fitting into the side and how they’d be used. Some apprehension, but confidence on the assumption that if we had a plan for them they could thrive. We’re into the last month of the season and we still don’t see any evidence of it for either.
