Slot - Stay or Go.

Not sure he does. He has been absolutely bamboozled by the concept of a low block and quick, direct passing...

The same guy that thinks we won the league because PSG knocked us out the CL despite being 12 points clear? That guy? Well I never.

Would've been interesting to see the reaction had any poster here made that observation sooner, I reckon there's a good chance they would've been hunted down and executed.

84.4% say go.
13.3% say maybe go
2.1% say he would stay (one vote, you know who 🤣)

That one vote was mine, just to wind some of the posters on here up.

Every manager faces these downturns. I don't think he has the self awareness to be able to fix it?

Why?
Talking down squaddies
Not presenting opportunities
Persisting with bad decisions
Defensive problems
No improvements in attacking fluency
CONTINUED Poor player passing in the final third
A coaching staff failing to inspire players.

It's two now. You've inspired a movement. Next thing you know, by being a contrarian, you'll be the president of a country!

I believe it was @Farkmaster or @keniget who said a year ago that we won't know how good Slot is until he goes through a bad spell. I don't think Slot has experienced anything like this in his career. Rafa and Klopp went through relegation and several bad spells.

Those lean spells teach you a lot in terms of what tactics to trust, how to react, how to react as a leader, when to be empathetic, etc. Slot is learning those at our club. Ideally, you learn those at other clubs and then come to us. We are too big a spotlight for a manager to "discover" himself.

IMO, that is why I am not a fan of "young wonderkid" managers who get a lot of hype - all of them appear to flame out.

We ALL know who the second is, even the bots

If we were to to change now, it could only be for Xabi.
However, what happens if he struggles until the end of the season? We could end up even lower in the table.
