He oversaw the 5-1 League cup game.
Alisson in team training and making a good save it seems at the end.
I hope to see Slot plan for a full on assault on West Ham, starting from kick off till the final whistle. In the process using the full 5 subs. This should energize our squad for the run in.
Glad he is back on a Friday at 9am.
Evidently whatever that was last week threw everything.
Iâm guessing the main questions in the press conference arenât going to be about the match nowâŚ
My summary (somewhat misheard):
- Talking about the golf or something�
- Moâs contract. Slot happy. Relief for fans but Slot knew in advance.
- Virgâs contract. We only talk about contracts when they are signed.
- Would be nice if we won the next 8 games after league (Fulham) loss.
- What makes Mo special? Humble man, brings effort all the time. Mo can score goals even when not at best. Mentally strong player.
- How much Slot influenced new contract. Nothing specific but effort from club directors (i.e. money, laughs)
- Premier league is very strong competition. Not to forget European competition as we played well.
- What more can Mo bring? Playing for Liverpool means players will be at maximum of ability and near perfection. Mo is at maximum of ability, need to keep consistency.
- In Fulham game, three mistakes cost three goals. Rest of performance wasnât that bad. Football is always judged on goals. Second half much better.
- Planning for summer: Nice to tell potential new players that they will be next to the likes of Salah.
- Semi-automated offside: A big positive and helps the officials and fans alike. Big fan of VAR for objective things.
- Message to others from Mo extending: Sends a positive vibe.
- Has Moâs role changed? Slot doesnât know if he has changed as such. Wingers need to be creative and donât play at 100% all the game. Mo has a big impact on the game. Wingers more important in modern game because of low blocks.
- Konate substitution in last game: Only a problem if swapped for another centre back. Swapping for an attacker or midfielder is always a tactical move.
- Slot is relaxed in role as he trusts players and trusts FSG (couldnât hear question). They will find solutions to new players when needed. Relaxed about situation.
- Question about Trent contract, future. Will not talk about other players.
- Alisson now fit and available again. Bradley can start again. Always a boost when quality players return, particularly in positions we need to fill.
I donât think they mentioned West Ham once! Only the last question was related to the game.
West Ham are one of those teams who have a couple of good players who can hurt you when on form, but are mostly pretty poor.
We should win this easily, but with our recent form and whatâs at stake, I hope we score early and donât let them stifle us. If we win this weâll beat Leicester and itâll be virtually done. If we drop points, it could get nervy.
Cheers for these resumes. Much appreciated.
Arsenal will drop two points tomorrow. Saka wonât play and they will conserve a bit as they are going to win the CL on Wednesday. They forgot about PSG and Barcelona still in the competition.
A win on Sunday is essential. Its a bit of a test after losing last week, the most catastrophic event in world history, including tarrifs from Trump. The way some commentators and supporters view our second league loss is comical.
AnywayâŚ
Salah will be buzzing and the scene is set. Another step towards number 20*
- Actually 23 if the cheating cunts are whitewashed from history.
I do feel that this is a defining game in our season. Win well and we should be able to stroll to the finish line.
But I had this dream last night..or nightmare. We lost 1-0 after Arsenal had a 4-0 win. ScenesâŚ
That wonât happen thoughâŚ
Hopefully you having the dream and making it public will prevent it from happening. Maybe you should put a bet on to make sure.
Iâm not an expert in superstition, @mattyhurst might be able to advise.
Isnât that a nightmare mind?
Could do with a win here.
No shit Sherlock.
Yeah, I think we should try to win this one. The best plan would be to score some goals and stop them scoring.
Winning would definitely be better than drawing or losing.
Just my opinion.
Do you lack imagination?
Come on can you not do better than that?
Why does Michael Owen have so many impostors?
