Post Match EPL Leeds (A) 3-3 Saturday December 6th 17:30

We are pathetic in the air.

Konate isn't dominant, neither is Joe Gomez. Gravy, Szobo, Macca are pathetic in the air defensively. Isak is shite in the air. Gakpo is shite in the air. Jones is shite in the air. Mo is shite in the air. Flot is shite in the air.

We are aerially WEAK throughout the team.

Is it any wonder why we keep on conceding from set pieces?
I don't buy this. Maybe we need more presence, but many of those players have managed ok before. Watch the 3rd goal, it's not aerial ability, it's fucking shit organisation and no one on the back post, again. It's on this shower of shite coaching.
 
So you think he's in the right for coming out, spouting all that bollocks and crying like a little bitch?
Well at least we know Slot's top players have no relationship with him 🤷‍♂️

Of course not, he's acted like a dick, but it feeds your narrative. Show some perspective instead of calling him a cunt or whatever.
 
he is all over the shop, sometimes maybe not say too much as a coach as it's now giving inner workings to his mind and seems like doesn't seem to know how to fix it.
 
Too much at the crime scene hahahaha, I like that one.

"Now listen Ibou, I've been letting you off with murder all season but here's another chance to stick the knife in one inch closer to the heart"

Hey Arne, guess who's always complicit in those crimes you gutless coward.

You're too keen to blame shite coaching. Between the boxes, there's enough issues there to blame him, but with set pieces it's also very much a player thing. Maybe the one thing I can critique him for on set pieces is constantly putting Gravenberch at the back post, who keeps on failing us.

But like I said, it's also a player issue. Not only are they cowards in the air, they appear to be very slow to second balls when it drops.

Please watch the goal again. Gravy literally has his eyes closed. Konate jumps under the ball and ducks out of the header. Gomez runs under it. We literally have 4 men at the back post against 2.

We conceded against Palace because of shite set piece defending by Gravy and it drops to Sarr who bangs home. Their second goal, Rio loses an aerial battle against Hughes, then Jones loses an aerial battle against Guehi, Nketiah bangs home. Shite aerial defending where Szobo just runs out and allows Maguire to easily head home, against United. Konate mistiming his jump in the air against City/Haaland. Ekitike losing an aerial battle against Brentford for their first goal. Slow defending from Gakpo/Szobo on the second ball against Forest for their first goal. Not mention goals conceded against Newcastle (both goals down to losing aerial battles).

So yeah, we have a massive aerial weakness, and are also very slow to second balls. It's a recipe for disaster in the premier league with the amount of set pieces there are.
 
But we can play our only other centre half Joe Gomez who is always injured in the more athletically demanding role of right back.
Or maybe even Endo — honestly, how much worse can he be than a malfunctioning Konate right now? I wonder if Slot ended up losing Quansah against his wishes too 🙄, just like the rumours about Díaz’s departure.

Oh that's a non-starter mate. Endo looks finished and Konate, despite his failing at a critical moment (multiple moments this season) is faster, stronger by far, taller and doesn't foul in half of his 50/50s. I actually thought Konate had a good game right up until that brainfart.
 
Guys, these boys haven't forgotten how to play football, and the new ones aren't bad. There's something else wrong here: Slot should build a system with the new ones, he's been using Klopp's system so far, it worked, but I think Slot is incapable of doing that. He's playing Gakpo and Kerkez together, apparently Gakpo doesn't like Kerkez, if that's the case, put Robinson next to Gakpo. Wirz can't be in a place where there's physical combat, Szobo plays the role of a firefighter, he puts him where there's trouble. In defense, Virgil explains afterwards, he doesn't control, Kerkez tries to play instinctively because he doesn't get instructions...
 
Yet another awful performance, and have we witnessed the clever Slot tactics to throw the winning game away? By his introduction, Gomez gave Leeds the biggest chance to come back and almost to win the game! It is time for LFC to get rid of the big-headed shit Salah and followed by a low grade manager.
The only player who stood out was Jones, as the average Ekitike needs to focus on kicking the ball forward, rather than lazy back kicks and flicks. the shitty players were VVD, Gakpo, the expensive light weight Wirtz, What a waste of club's money! Should Slot focus on cementing his team in mid-table place, if he remains in the job by next week? God Help US
