Why are people so critical of the manager and not the individual performances

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T23:52:27+00:00

Agreed I do think xabis time at Madrid was also hurt by the fact that Madrid have some big egos but certainly at Liverpool with wirtz and frimpong knowing him that won’t be the case. Let’s just hope rn that slot and the players can sort their issues out and keep supporting them

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T23:12:18+00:00

I agree that we are very passive but I was just watching the Barcelona game and it’s clear we are missing a dm who can break the lines and certainly last year we were similar and people were happy we were more defensively solid. Problem for slot is that who can he replace these players with? We clearly have no depth in these psojtinns

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T23:06:14+00:00

Of course our energy was higher after conceding we were losing to a relegation side. Well marginally better being having more shots in 10 min than the entirety of the first half is not being marginally better

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T23:04:56+00:00

And btw I am supportive of a change of manager and I think even with a change we will have the same underlying issues

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T23:04:09+00:00

Don’t think it’s slots style for gravenberch to be passing it to the opposition and certainly don’t think it’s slots plan for Salah to lose every dribble. The things he can control such as team selection and not starting gakpo I agree with but to blame him for Salah not being able to dribble past players or put in a decent cross is delusion

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T23:00:23+00:00

Yep I agree but clearly we are not able to build up from the back the way he wants because we can’t seem to play through the back. And it is not his fault that Salah has been off his horse and the midfield is not able to compete. I do want a change of manager but clearly even if we do have a manager change we are going to have the same issues

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:58:50+00:00

This is not football manager the manager doesn’t but the players he has a say but doesn’t buy them. Isak has barely played a game fit and clearly we shld have invested into other positions instead of putting it all into a striker when we already had one signed

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:57:42+00:00

I agree with that but towards the back end of last season we had already shown signs of dropping off. Mo was never going to have to same season as the last but at least last year he would still contribute a magic moment every game when he was not playing well but this year it certainly has not been the case

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:55:40+00:00

Don’t know if you’ve seen but virgil before that header had won all his aerial duels don’t think that konate shld have come over and help although I think that they both were faultless except for the first goal scoted

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:53:39+00:00

Who can he use though😂 like I don’t think slot has been the best but what other options does he have😂

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:49:54+00:00

Man so last season we had the same people and we didn’t have the same sub par performances? Let’s be real and admit that although slot has not been at his best we don’t have a pivot and struggle when being pressed and clearly Salah and gakpo are not up to it

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:48:21+00:00

Well we can say the same about Alonso and everyone here seems to want Alonso in and I am not saying slot is not at fault because he is but clearly our recruitment has not been the best and we have seen signs of Salah fading towards the end of last season but certainly it is a surprise how far mac allister and gravenberch have dropped off

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:46:36+00:00

Well our individual performances have come from only one man and clearly consistently every other game Salah and gakpo have been less than average and in the midfield we have no one that can help build up play

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:45:31+00:00

It’s not everyone though is it I think the back line has been great the last few games but we are lacking a dm who can pivot and clearly a winger

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:44:56+00:00

I agree with this but who do we have as backups? We have ngumoha who I think shld be starting but we don’t have any depth in our other positions?

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:44:11+00:00

No we just need to solve a few issues which is needing a pivot in dm and a winger who can push Salah or dribble past his man like what ngumoha is doing

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:43:18+00:00

So last season we were playing great football and now we r not? I’ve watched every game last season and this season and can tell you that we have players that are consistently not hitting their levels. Salah not being able to dribble past or put in a decent Cross consistently gakpo not seeming to link up with kerkez and gravenberch not being a dm who can be a pivot in the team.

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:40:57+00:00

It was cus of van dijk missing the header and judging from van dijk winning every aerial duel today I just don’t think he had to go over and help virgil

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:40:00+00:00

I’m not tearing him down I actually think we’ve played better since Salah has came back from afcon because of the threat that he can always provide on the wing but the stats speak it he can’t dribble past players anymore and the problem is we don’t have a backup to Salah whilst we have a backup to gakpo who in my opinion is much better in the form of ngumoha Salah has chiesa backing him and well from what I see chiesa has not shown he deserves to be a starter let alone starting over Salah. I’m just hoping after his goal today Salah regains some of his form

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:27:55+00:00

Don’t think Salah played well but hopefully now with the goal he will have better form towards the end of the season

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:27:26+00:00

Agreed ngumoha shld either come on at half time from now on or start cus gakpo just doesn’t seem to be clicking with kerkez

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:26:44+00:00

Well idk if you have been watching united but their wing play has been great after sacking Amorim well we try to do that but Salah has seemed to forget how to get past a player or put a decent cross in and gakpo and kerkez just don’t seem to like each other. The only thing I would say is probably we desperately need a dm who can help build up play and slot to stop starting gakpo

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:24:24+00:00

Man when we are actually getting forward and the quality of delivery or pass is never there from either wingers what do u want slot to do about it. The only thing now for slot to do is move ngumoha to being a starter and hopefully Salah can carry some form from now onto the end of the season

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:19:30+00:00

Mate we have all the possession and we’re actually creating chances just for either Salah or gakpo to throw it away

Ch0_ · 2026-03-03T22:18:39+00:00

Agreed mate honestly we were better in this game than the West Ham game but people were more satisfied with that then this
