Probabilities.

[localny]

Slot doesn't seem to have the ability to change, nor to inspire.

That means, the current one step forward, two steps back will continue

Which means we can predict the seasons outcomes

Probably
- We are finishing anywhere from 6th-12th
- We may get to the Quarters or Semis of the CL, no further.
- FA Cup unlikely
- CL not happening for us next year.
- Europa league next season if we are lucky.

So what does this mean for
- Players leaving
- Players joining
- Signing a new manager
- Financials.

We aren’t getting CL. Maybe not even Europa. Had I not seen how bad Brighton were today I would’ve expected them to batter us next weekend but I have no idea how that will go. I still don’t expect us to go beyond the 5th round of the FA cup.

Mo won’t be going anywhere. Saudi won’t come in for him at all.

Konate is gone. Slobs won’t sign a new deal so we will sell just to get something. Same for Mac. Ali won’t sign a deal but will sticking out for a year.

We won’t sign a DM because that’s what we do.

We won’t get Alonso. Maybe Iraola or someone like him because we will still pay more than anyone else in for him.

Yea, everything is rosy because we don’t sack managers. Apart from all the managers we’ve sacked.

That's basically all of Klopp's work undone in pretty much 24 months

I can only assume that Edwards and co are okay with this season being a write off in the context of some larger grand plan. Us stupid little fans just don’t get it.

Slot will likely still be here next year no matter what happens. I don’t think we’d go for Alonso even if we decide to make a change.

I almost feel like having to be creative in the transfer market would be better for us after last summer but then I remember we are just as likely to sign no one citing the only signing the right players mantra.

Konate will go. We have huge issues in midfield. It needs surgery anyways but they all have contracts expiring in 1-2 years. Wouldn’t bank on any of them signing up.

 

[localny]

You have to ask can Slot turn it around? To do that he needs to have

- Masterful Tactical knowledge
- Ability to inspire players
- Buy-in from players
- Excellent coaching staff

And there's nothing to suggest any of these are present. So why persist with him?

 

[Markeh]

no.4 and 5 are the concern

i honestly feel we need to land xabi if he’s the man we want, immediately. we might look an absolute mess in the summer and be operating on a really tight budget which we all know is extremely unattractive to new managers when taking on a ‘project’.

although it may well be too late for him to rescue top 5 it’s maybe the window of opportunity before he goes elsewhere. of course alonso might not be the right man but i’m getting close to certain slot isn’t either.

 

[dee]

What if it is the coaching staff and not Arne? You know, like the set piece coach?

we should appoint a ‘late game’ coach to be in charge of strategy from 70 minutes onwards… so we can fire him instead of slot next

 

[Hansern]

We’ll get the manager we want and we’ll get most of the players we want regardless.

Without CL football this season is a complete failure though. Insanely bad.

 

[Halmeister]

Surely he's not still here next season? It's mental that he wasn't gone a month or two ago. But surely they're just getting through this season?

If he's still here next season, I don't know what I'll do.

Two years ago, we were getting knocked out by Atlanta in the Europa League. It is your fault that you are expecting CL.

Know your place!!!! 😉

Isn't that what Edwards wanted anyway?

Touché

 

[Fabio]

He's going nowhere

4 points off 5th, 5 points off 4th. Level with Brentford. 2 points ahead of the shite.

The club have decided that mediocrity is worthwhile for "stability", after a summer of shaking the clubs foundations.

 

[Hansern]

Our next two games are away to Sunderland (unbeaten at home) and Forest (who tonked us 3-0 at Anfield).
We all know we're getting nothing from those games and potentially being 10 points behind the CL spots.
If that doesn't get him fired then we know FSG are happy to just run this season into the ground.
