It's a very convenient excuse. Everyone else is playing differently and we can't cope? And who's fault is that?
As if we aren't hoofing the fucking ball a lot as well. We are just shit at that as well.

I guess I see it differently in terms of shock and impact.How is it different? A man minding his own business, collapsed, no way to call for help slowly dying compared to a man dying instantly by driving a car at speeds on roads not meant for these cars? Who has it worse?
So short sighted. So many things have gone wrong this season. Fucking hell he’s getting punished for success last season. If he finished 5th last year and got CL nobody would be batting an eye lid. Give the man a proper season with all the new players and playing style. Fucking hell. He has earnt the right to show he can make us unbeatable with this new squad. Cunts here wanting him gone after a 4 week run with so many medicating factors.Bottom 5?! With all the money that has been spent? Fuck that. He should be gone long before there's even a risk that we wind up in the bottom 5.

But he didn’t and we won the league at a canter and got knocked out of the CL by the best side in the comp on penalties that nobody else could lay a glove on.If he finished fifth last year and the team has delivered the performance it has since February, he would be out of a job by now. Since the PSG ties, the Spurs game is the only game we have comfortably outclassed the opposition for a full 90 minutes.

He deserves more respect and more time. I feel like I’m living in a parallel universe such is the size of the delusion on here or maybe we are all just grumpy old fucks who can’t wait to stick the knife in. It beggars belief. It really does at this stage at least.

For me the question is not the tactics but why are so many players making so many stupid errors that gift possession to the opposition and break down our attacks.Going into every game playing the same shit and expecting it to change is ridiculous.
Pretty much every team we've played the last few weeks have been doing the same thing. High tempo, full throttle the first 20 mins, get an early goal, sit back and hit us on the counter.
Slot apparently has no solution for this.
He hasn't had much this season but at points last season he did, but then fobbed before PSG.
Honestly, do you think Endo and Chiesa are the reason we have lost 4 on the bounce? conceded 2 or more in 9 games this season already ?
Playing them two is akin to rearranging deck chairs in Titanic plus both have had fitness issues but Chiesa does seem to bit fit, he should play more but I don't see that improving the defending, lack of energy or the incoherent midfield.
There are moments in games during this time where I've just thought, Jesus fucking Christ this isn't football as I understand it, but I guess he knows what he's doing, as we are winning a league.
But, I'm not convinced he does. We look like one of the worst coached teams in the league. We are so bad that we look bad in screenshots, like the shape our entire team is in, is at times mind boggling to me. We can't defend set pieces. We can't defend from open play. We are easy to counter against. We lose the ball easily.
We are fucking awful at 2-0. We are easy to score against, and we routinely go down quickly.
Every single thing about us is getting worse and worse. We are playing worse, and worse, and worse football. Since March.
He has to change that and now. He isn't.
I don't want to stick any knife in. I want him to succeed. But I also have pattern recognition, and so do those with jobs above him. It doesn't matter what I think, as they will be the ones stabbing him.
They'll say that with players of average coefficient x across a team, a good manager should expect to blah blah not our fault, we didn't waste shit tons of money, here, look at this graph.
I could probably wrap these three up by saying you could put prime AC Milan out there and they would still concede a fucking shit full because exactly of how we are set up and prepare for games.For me the question is not the tactics but why are so many players making so many stupid errors that gift possession to the opposition and break down our attacks.
We've seen VvD do it (why was he even on the front post - twice - for goals recently, again yesterday - with Konate behind him in the centre), Salah has been unforgivable, coughing up possession or losing control time after time (despite the cracking finish yesterday - one of his wild shots had to go in eventually) even Szobo yesterday passing behind the man and into touch. It destroys our rhythm and allows the opposition time to reorganise or to break.
It's the accumulation of all these small errors that is so painful.
You are just trying your hardest to defend your fallen idol.I guess I see it differently in terms of shock and impact.
Exactly, and you only need one. I don't care if you play any variation of either a 442 or a 433 but please, play someone in the middle of the park whose first concern is dominating that area.It's hard to believe in a manager who doesn't believe in proper no.6's
We have needed your negativity. It drove us to the title a few years back.Think I'll be back venting for a while with this shite.
My real life mates are sick of my "told you so's". You lot will have to bear the brunt.
Like we won against Man UFive of the next six games are at home, sounds like we'll win them all.
Like we won against Man U
