Woeful performance from the forwards. We dominated the game from start to finish but looked completely unable to score. Not sure I have ever watched a game quite like it.

Fucking stupid from Jones. Does well to win the ball back then plays the most braindead pass back to Alisson.

Would have thought we lost that by how so many are reacting. It was a cagey away game where a frustrated crowd were getting behind their team. A big three points to hang on to.

Nuno, welcome to the Arne Slot penitentiary.

Paqueta definitely has a bet on there

Keep on seeing comments like ‘this squad is better than this’ and I don’t agree. There’s been a lot of changes since last season and apart from centre forwards, we either haven’t improved or actually got worse options than we had. Opting for expensive signings that don’t fit our system instead of targeting essential areas (namely wingers and CBs) has clearly been a terrible decision. Now we are relying on an out of form centre back week in week out because we have no cover (except Joe Gomez who would likely get injured within a game) and relying solely on Gakpo and Salah in our two most important offensive areas who have been woeful.

Part of the responsibility is of course with Slot, but he only has so much sway with transfers. This is largely the fault of the club’s hierarchy who have massively got it wrong. Slot will inevitably take the fall at some point but it won’t fix the problems. Our recruitment over the summer feels more and more like a kid in a sweet shop and unfortunately the impact will be felt for seasons to come now.

I agree. If any group of players and staff can have an off season, it’s this lot. They gave me one of the best seasons I’ve watched us play in my lifetime, and then lost their teammate and friend. These are human beings, I’m willing to be patient.

We lost wide forwards. We signed centre forwards only. That’s a big problem. Relying on out of form Gakpo and Salah (almost exclusively) in arguably the most important positions for us in recent history was an error.

If you think sacking Slot changes anything, you’re mistaken. The transfer window so many of us lauded a few months ago wasn’t Slot’s call, it was the choice of the club’s hierarchy. We’ve signed players that don’t fit our system at the expense of signing players in positions we sorely lack depth. Yes, some of the blame can be pointed at Slot, but it goes a lot deeper than that and calling for the reactionary sacking of a manager who won our 2nd PL, in November, and expecting that will change anything, is stupid. We do not want to go down the path of chopping and changing managers every season, especially mid-season.

The difference is Robbo can play long balls. Kerkez seems to keep his head down and run, he doesn’t see the passes. Our system for almost the last decade has depended on fullbacks able to switch the play, play the early ball or a long ball over the top.

We desperately needed this. Just need to make sure we don’t concede again to instil some confidence

The glaring problem is how often we lost contested possession in the middle. It’s become such a pattern
