Have you seen Gakpo play, have you seen Kerkez play, have you seen Wirtz play ?

Have you seen Gravy play. Slot has him playing further forward this season.

Macalister hasn't been great either.

Have you seen Konate play ?

Have you seen Isak play, though he is not getting the service from out wide..

They have all been utter garbage

Gravy not been too bad tbf.. but he is not protecting the back line.

Salah imho has suffered he lost his RB in Trent, his right hand man in Jota, Diaz, Nunez, his mate Tskimas and the kid he had under his wing in Elliott..

And the team lost its press, pace to play tippy happy slowball backwards passing shiteball

Everything that supported his game gone.. effectively

That's down to the shite tactics of the Dutch Bald Fraud..

He's shite, mate. Pure shite. And he since he refuses to pass to a teammate, track back or do any teamwork, he's properly stinking matches out. And now he can't even keep his fucking gob shut.

So, yeah. He is one of the main culprits. I am not denying there's others too but none of them is paid what Salah is, so no need for whataboutism.

 

[Al_Gatto]

We don't know what's gone on behind the scenes but unless Slot is blanking him / calling out / whatever else, sitting on the bench for 3 games - one of which he got 45mins - is not scapegoating.

Kerkez is rotating with Robertson.

Mac has been in and out.

Gakpo he's starting to sub off now.

But either which way, is the manager not entitled to try something new for a couple games? Should there be a list of options that we run through before Mo gets some bench time? Or should Slot run things past Mo first? Why not make Mo the player/manager and be done with it?

Kerkez and Mac have both played in 14 of 15 PL games, two as a sub. Gakpo has played in every game, two as a sub. All three have been very poor but still play week in week out. Why hasn't Slot 'tried something different' with them?

Since he arrived Slot has played Isak to get him match fit. Even though it was like playing with ten men, he still played him the following game. Konate has been embarrassing but played every game.

Its that inconsistency that gets me. I agree Mo has been dire, but so has everyone bar Szobo! Mo has still been creating chances, its not like he's been as unproductive as Isak, or Wirtz, who have delivered very little.

If nothing else, I think this shows that Slot doesn't command much respect. Imo Mo wouldn't be turning up to training smiling if he'd spoken like that about any of our previous manager. Even Hodgson would have set him straight.

 

[Momo ★]

I don't get Slot having credit for winning the league but Mo doesn't despite him winning it almost single handedly.

Imo the biggest differences in performance between this year and last are that Mo isn't nicking us games (possibly because there's no consistency at RB and everything is going through the unimpressive Wirtz) and Konates form (because he doesn't have any competition after flogging Quansah and not getting in Guehi, as well as him running down his contract).

Bbc stats say we should have three more 'expected' points and be in third. I'm not buying that as we were lucky in those first few games. I bet the data nerds lap it up though as confirms their own optimism bias in their own decision making.

Mo basically took a shit on the shirt and pissed on the Shankly statue. He’s burnt through any credit in that 7 minute bilge he spouted.

I don't get the notion Pens are worth less. Pen's require a certain kind of mentality to step and take, plenty don't want it and are no good at it. Ask Nunez on his pentalty record with LFC, a pen requires time to think and a plan and not just reaction. Would have been nice if we had few pen takers against PSG in that second leg.

I could name half a dozen players in our side I would trust to half a free shot on goal. That’s why pen goals need to be worth less.

No he didn't. bit of an over reaction. I think we are really going overboard now...
He disrespected the club and manager, should be fined and will again miss next set of games. I think disrepecting the club and Shankley Statue is being smashed by Forest and PSV at home by over 3 goals consecuctive games and putting out a crappy side against Palace at home by 3 goals, that is embaressing for ticket paying fans. Even Woy would have trouble justifying that.

So half a dozen players whom would take them ahead of Mo pen wise? really? how did we we do with just 4 of the other against PSG? Pen goals aren't worth less, for a number of reasons especially if the same player was the one originally fouled.

 

[Momo ★]

Those defeats shit on the supporters. Not the Liverpool way. Which Mo fucked up.

Van Dijk
Trent
Slobs
Mac
Diaz
Gakpo
Robbo


There’s 7.

Mo hasn’t hit every pen into the net. So that defence is crap. I’d trust the above equally as Salah taking one.

Imo Suarez racism (and the tshirts) and the biting incidents brought more shame on the shirt. Gerrard, Torres, Suarez, Coutinho, Owen, Macca flirting with other clubs feels way more of a betrayal.

Maybe I'm being clouded but it feels like Mos frustration is at Slot, not the club. He just seems genuinely frustrated because he's a winner.

It occurred to me when we think back on the league win we'll all remember Mo banging goals in, and Diogo, not Slot.

 

[Momo ★]

He said the club have let him down, not manager, and shouldn’t even try anymore and still get a game. He’s a cunt.

 

[Momo ★]

Also he is flirting with other clubs too. The prick.

 

[Hansern]

Sell him. Move on.

Every player who can have been dropped at times has. The only player in this squad who I would listen to bitch, with sympathy, is chiesa.

Konate wouldn't be out there if we had good backups who weren't getting injections.

Diaz? Slobs? Gakpo? Virgil? why didn't these brave souls step up against PSG and let poor old Nunez and Jones do it? Probably because they don't have the balls at that point to do it. It's great sticking it top corner at Training but in a CL Final or Knockout? Yet to be prooven they can.

 

[tomasjj]

Ironically, Salah has given Slot more time.

Probably because I’d normally back those players to score one and it’s not possibly to squeeze 11 players into 5 penalties.

 

[rubans]

No he hasn't
Probably catalyst. If we lost tomorrow and lose badly Slot should be fcked off ASAP regardless.

He should’ve gone after the Forest game.

Diaz according to a quick search has taken a total of 1 penalty in his career. That doesn't sound like a man who likes pentalties.

 

[Al_Gatto]

All downhill since the Ibiza game.

Did he score it?

 

[Gerry_A_Trick ★]

He's taken three and missed two.

 

[Buddha ★]

He should’ve gone after the Forest game.

I was there…that is a true statement

 

[Momo ★]

He's taken three and missed two.

Not one?

 

[rubans]

Not one?

Would that change things for you then?
Looks like he has taken at least 2.

Assume that's right.

I’m not arsed because you’re the one who is saying Salah is the only one who can take a pen. He’s not.

that's not what I said and you know it. I asked you to name players you would have above him and you named a guy who has scored 1 pen all his life in a professional career spaning over 10yrs. Come on now...

 

[keniget ★]

Kerkez and Mac have both played in 14 of 15 PL games, two as a sub. Gakpo has played in every game, two as a sub. All three have been very poor but still play week in week out. Why hasn't Slot 'tried something different' with them?

We could argue who's been worse and the reasons for persisting with player X vs player Y but ultimately, is it not at the discretion of the manager how he decides to line up and in our case, fix things? Or are we back to him having to justify himself to Salah and go through a laundry list of things that he's tried before arriving at his door?

And again, we should re-state, it's only been 3 games.
