Slot when asked about maybe playing Gomez at RB and playing more defensively: first he said he's been willing to do this as necessary, but said "I don't see us conceding a lot of chances so I don't see a reason for us to change our playing style completely."

One of us is insane.

Maybe both 😉

Chelsea - 6
Galatasaray - 4

Southampton - 4

I can’t put my finger on when this bad run started.

Yes, he’s our fucking manager.

He's actually our Head Coach

Just a little reminder that some of you might be a bit kneejerk

Well considering what he started with (compared to someone like klopp who started with utter dross) i'm not surprised.

Indeed but still impressive none the less.

He’s a very good coach who will get us close again this season and I’ll see us as dark horses for the CL.

"I've heard the reports as well about [Slot] being under pressure, but I don't think we play at a club that makes rash decisions," added Van Dijk.


No but the SCM faithful sure as shit do.

Let’s not wank ourselves over a semi decent performance at home to Villa.

TBF, any excuse will do and that one is as good as most.

“I didn’t die today. That deserves a wank.”

Slot is a moron if he keeps playing the inferior Gakpo, instead of using Wirtz there, in a free role.

You lot were wanking yourselves at the thought of binning off Slot.

4 goals and 3 assists vs 0 goals and 2 assists is why.

Plus the Dutch favouritism.

I haven’t stopped. Saturday hasn’t changed that.

I don't know if it was just fresh legs, or being instructed to press, or just more effort under the lights at Anfield (probably all three), but we were playing with increased intensity and some form of recognisable plan in place. Villa did play neatly into our hands, though, so it's a combo of all of the above. I think the adrenaline of these big fixtures may carry us through and mask some issues. We'll know whether this was a sizable blip that can recover from, or whether this season is a write-off, in the weeks that follow.

Ya post City we have a winnable run of games if we can replicate last seasons form.

You’re being a bit disingenuous here. When you’ve lost five out of six, it’s perfectly fair to call Slot out. @binomial might be an extreme case, and most of the others reacted out of frustration.


I initially blamed you, and to some extent, I still do. You’re basically a living, breathing, talking, walking hex. But if we set aside the superstitions and just look at the games themselves, there were some glaring mistakes Slot kept making and failing to fix.


The win against Villa alone isn’t redemption. He needs to put together six or seven wins on the bounce and close the gap with Arsenal before we can believe last season wasn’t a fluke. Winning back-to-back league titles was never my expectation, but a proper challenge is.
We want Slot to succeed, but he needs to show tactical acumen when things are going against him, this season there's been littl;e evidence of that

We are in transition, top 5 and a good crack at the CL while beginning to integrate our next gen and associated tactics will be do fine for this season. We are highly unlikely to string 6 wins together. Thats a silly bar.
