Why drastically change a team you just won the league with?
Replace Nunez? Fine. With you 100%
Replace Trent? Necessity. Although Frimpong isn't it.
Replace Jota? Unfortunately necessary too.
Was £400 mill really needed to do this?
Who did he sub on today?
Gomez, Chiesa, Gakpo and Jones.
Please point at the new signing.
He was one of the few players who could do something unpredictable, could beat a man 1v1 with some skill/flair and he also gave his all every game. He was patchy in front of goal, but we also moved him around in our formation a lot.
I get it that he wanted to go, but we didn't get anyone remotely close to his profile, and i'm not even sure who there is like him we could have targeted.
Just play Rio. He isn’t playing for the U21s so may as well get him to learn on the job.
I didn't mention him because he didn't need to be sold. I'm ashamed to say that I was OK with him being sold because I thought we were signing a replacement.
Burn him out by 25 and sell him to some shmucks.
Yep, should have seen Mo leave in the summer and a new 4 year contract for Diaz.
I also don't think there's a way out of this for Slot, it doesn't look like he has what it takes.
He's not been helped by the circumstances tho.
This is me as well... I had lingering issues with how we struggled with teams last season.. Always just doing about enough to win but sometimes we relied to much on Alisson when scores were 0-0 or hanging on late in games.. We never put anyone to the sword bar spurs and they lost 22 games last season and couldn't defend.. We generally struggled to create good chances and we're clinical when those chances fell to salah and Diaz and gakpoo.. Obviously not nunez... But in general it would be a poor 1st half and a improved 2nd half..
I had hoped with 400m investment that we would improve but the football is still the same sterile attacking football and that is worrying
He wasn’t so as it stood 30% of the team was different and we are 10 games in. Not to mention over the course of the opening 10 league games we’ve had loads of new players playing in varying positions and formations.
What did our new keeper have to do with us losing? Honestly, Dreamy you're grasping at straws now.
It was all well and good when we beat Real mid-week but we just got outplayed by City with barely a shot on goal and you're willing to give Slot a pass?
Btw this isn't peak De Bruyne Man C.
This sounds like you are just throwing excuses hoping one sticks
We had 5 days rest and a day more than city.. The problem was how slot set the team up
Exactly, why bother turning up? Could have just thrown the game like he did the Palace game in cup.
This is something that is pissing me off is seeing rio not getting used off the bench.. The lad needs actual game time to develop so if he's not ready for the 1st team give him game time in the u21s.. This has to be stunting his progression
Oh I don't know, he seems deeply dippy about 50p head Ibou and Grandad Mo, he seems to trust them both implicitly.
Slot logic:
Step 1: Never play a certain player.
Step 2: Play him for 90 mins in a league cup game and expect him to play as if he's match fit and has been getting regular minutes.
Step 3: Blame loss on said player and banish him to the sunken place.
