Job security - arne



Slot referenced again that he prefers the front-foot brand of football that Luis Enrique’s PSG served up when facing Liverpool in March en route to Champions League glory.

“My football is Paris Saint-Germain v Liverpool, Liverpool v Paris Saint-Germain,” he said. “That is how I would love to have every single game, but you need to have two teams to have an open game of football and not all these things that don’t make a game of football nice.

The Liverpool-PSG tie was settled by a penalty shoot-out at Anfield, but if the 3½ hours of football that preceded that is analysed then Slot’s side were clearly second-best. Supporters — if not Slot — would soon become sick of that if repeated.

Similarly, Liverpool underperformed when losing 3-0 to a City side that also wanted to attack at the Etihad Stadium in November (notwithstanding that Virgil van Dijk’s header was wrongly disallowed at 1-0).

Slot's pressers are a mess now, he talks too much and is starting to give himself more rope each time.
Interesting number of players since Salah who are coming out with various comments about his tactics without being full Mo, latest being Szbo. He is done, it's only a matter of time of when..
 
The issue here is that based on squad, we shouldn't get turned over. Hell, arguably we should draw or win as arsenal aren't even that good, they're just defensively solid. The fact that a majority of the forum thinks we will is a damning indictment on the manager and our current tactics.

Cunts gonna probably play Mikel merino at the 9 and I expect us to lose by 2 goals or more. That's the fucking issue.

This isn't prime united with Rooney and Ronaldo this isn't prime arsenal with Henry and bergkamp. Prime Chelsea with Drogba and lampard.

This is arsenal with fucking shite left wingers, 1 competent midfielder and zero useful strikers.

And I think they're gonna turn us over
It might be an indication the majority of the forum grumpy old negative cunts who always assume the worst and are clouded by their hatred of Slot or at least his style of play in the last 10 months.
 
But if he's right will you eat the same pie?
If we get humiliated absolutely but then what’s the definition of humiliation when you are away to the current best side in the league by a mile and as pointed out are 14pts behind?

Is it 5-0? 6-0? 7-0?

The league table doesn’t lie and this season domestically at least has turned into a transition year of epic proportions that none of us wanted but some worried about with so many ins and outs. Couple that with the injuries and fitness of some players and the time it’s taken some hefty priced players to bed in and it’s not surprising.
 
If we did would you?

A win or draw won't change a thing for me.. Want him gone, he doesn't even realise we a a complete bore to watch which in turn has destroyed the famous anfield atmosphere
Well unlike you results do change my opinion.

Beating Arsenal home and away while on the run we are would be a huge boost to this set of players an most certainly give me more confidence we can beat anyone in the CL while most likely continuing to struggle domestically. Arsenal are up there with the best in Europe.
 
Because it doesn't change a thing. Were you humble after we lost to Forest and Man U at home?
They were shite results and I said as much and I thought Slot was edging closer to the door. Since the Forest game he has done a lot right to get us back into 4th even if we lose today.
 
This isn’t transition. It’s being fucking shit.
First step in preventing getting beat every week is making yourself hard to beat. He’s done that while the football by and large has been anything but entertaining. He know needs to balance that with more attacking impetus.

What did Szobs say?

It's shocking how poor in the media he's been this year when last season I thought he handled that aspect very well.

Agreed, as said in another thread. He seems such a different person. I thought he handled the media very well last season and pretty much always said the right thing. Now he seems to have lost all confidence and is just a shell of that person. Maybe he knows its coming to an end here.
 
Tbh I'm just done now. We're poor to watch, seemingly without structure. It's a shame that this was another winnable league and we've fallen off.

For me it's on the manager, but I also think some players aren't playing for him/protecting themselves for the world cup.

If there was performances without results, I'd be more accepting. Results without performances aren't sustainable, as the season has proven.

I'm sure Slot is a nice enough fella, but going on the piss after winning the league never sat right. The summer us not building a squad, but rather the accumulation of good players is on the spreadsheet squad and has irritated me no end.

What should have been a strong chance to cement a dynasty, we've seen our arse very easily and left ourselves in the dust. Guadiola going will leave a vacuum, and we've allowed arsenal to position themselves in that slot
