Pre Match Pre Match - Burnley (A) - Sunday 14:00

[Modo]

He's gonna have a 13-14 man rotation like last season.

 

[KopRed]

“A number of good games sporadically….”! I just can’t fathom that view, he has been a great signing and usually one of our better players. That’s why he started in the vast majority of games under Klopp and subsequently under Slot, they both realise his importance to the team.

And your view that we bought Wirtz because Szobozlai was underperforming is as crazy as those posters who last season were suggesting Jones should start ahead of Szobozlai! Even with Wirtz playing Slot has picked Dom to start in the charity shield and all 3 league games.

Wirtz, Frimpong, Ekitike, Isak etc were signed because Slot does not want “squad players” he wants 22 first team players. Why else would we sign Ekitike & Isak, why sign Frimpong when we have Bradley, why sign Wirtz when we have Szobozlai.

We will play 60+ games this season and we want to challenge for all 4 trophies; squad players are no longer good enough.

Most of our players will start in about 30 games this season and Slot will rotate to keep his players as fresh as possible

Look at Arsenal’s squad, 2 top players for every position (except centre forward where Arteta keeps fucking up). Yesterday they lost odegard early, no saka or Rice and still won comfortably…….they worry me this season but I’m hoping their shit centre forward options hamper them.

I am not sure which games you were watching but he was not one of our better players last season.

Slot said Szoboslai's numbers need to go up early in the 2024-2025 season. He then brought in Wirtz at the end of the season, so who is the odd one out in midfield? Connect the dots. I have no doubt Szoboslai is an important part of the team and will play loads of games but he has not hit the heights consistently.

'His numbers need to go up' - Slot's early verdict on Szoboszlai

The head coach gave his critique of the No. 8.

Slobby came 5th in the MOTM competition for the second half of the season.

He had a boss first half the season when he joined. Shit second half. Then last season had a shit first half and boss second half.

 

[Hansern]

Doesn’t look like Isak is in the squad today

No Isak in the squad
