The mess is the sum total what I've had to endure this season. Ive long ceased itemizing each chunk of bile that happens to float by. We are swimming in vomit.

Sorry, I've just realised I'm being a mong and you meant the Silva pull on Salah in the first half. I thought you meant the incident before the 3rd non-goal. Not a pen for me. But there are some similarities between that and the red card.
Anyway, has he been sacked yet?
Salah wasn’t making the ball anyway because he moves like a sloth. Had he got there he would’ve taken two touches to get it on his left when he would’ve had two players right on him.
Don't forget the part where he then kicks the ball directly at the shins of the nearest defender too.
We didn’t NOT deserve a draw after some decent play for 2/3s of the second half, but 1-2 was probably fair overall
Yeah, a draw would've been fairish. But we also can't complain that we got beat.
In every available attacking metric we were worse. Less shots, less shots on target, less blocked shots, less big chances, less xg, less set piece xg,less passes in opposition half, less passes.
In fact I'm being harsh. We were better in long balls.

It’s amazing how bad our counter attacks our. The players choose the worst option almost every time.
We had 4-5 great breaks this game and probably only got a shot away in one of them.
Hugo was particularly sloppy, and got fortunate on the one that resulted in his header from Salah’s cross.
I thought Kerkez was one of the few players to leave head held high, did very well.

We didn't have much in the way of a bench to make impact worthy changes. Gapko for Rio, salah for ?? We're threadbare after pissing away 200 million. We recouped sure but sold any depth. Slot can't manage players, has no chemistry, can't tell a player no, so reduces his teams to a tiny squad to avoid disappointing players. Klopp relied on his youth.
I mean this sincerely, that I think the only thing making me optimistic is that we are the best awful team I've ever seen. Sure, we can't win games on the same level as hodgson, but that team never occasionally sparked into life or completely and spectacularly stabbed itself in public. It just plodded along with the enthusiasm of someone walking to their death.
We still produce moments of real magic... That ultimately abort themselves one way or another. We still have players who look quite dominant in moments... And don't look part of any cohesive team. We contrive to find amazing new ways of shitting ourselves, again and again.
We look extremely poorly coached in very basic ways. You see it with our playing out the back, with our clueless buildup, with our largely improvised pressing. Whatever we accidentally do well, we can't hold on to for more than 20 minutes.
We also went into this season weaker than last due to chronic neglect and deferred maintenance of the squad.
Our biggest deficiencies are obvious and solvable.
Why you would entrust any of the architects of this doomed lot to fix it, though, I haven't got a clue.
If you want slot to teach a young group of defenders how to play football whatever way his is, then I'd love to hear why.
