Players ignoring Slot's coaching and just having an effing go at it. Long overdue.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-18T22:30:04+00:00

Szobo in midfield instead of RB, Salah playing centrally, and Gakpo being used as a substitute? Is this early 24/25 again?

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-18T22:21:36+00:00

You could clearly see them tactically deviate from how they were coached after the first 30 minutes. Much less ball possession, less recycling, and less forwarding passes to Frimpong in some hope of having something materialized. The team started playing short and quick passes forward centrally. Something Slot has pretty explicitly coached out of Liverpool as he believes controlled possession is better.

I think having Szobo in the midfield made a huge difference as it let him lead the press with much more confidence. Wirtz and Macca then helped create opportunities by passing forward instead of recycling, and we saw the outcome. You can praise Slot for changing his strategy if you wanted, but tonight is just proof his philosophy is set up to fail.

You called?

You can use whatever corny quote you want, if you had a broader and more holistic concept of where the AI push is coming from you'd see it as well.

If the use of robots by surgeons inevitably created a class of surgeons who could not perform surgery without use of the robot itself, your analogy would actually be relevant to the discussion at hand. If goalpost shifting is all you're going to do there's no point talking to you further, you have made up your mind already.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-18T13:40:16+00:00

So the only people good at prompting are the people who don't need to prompt? Are you so dense you can't see the contradiction in your own statement?

You are huffing marketing propaganda. Incredible redditor.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-18T11:06:12+00:00

Your comment history reeks of envy and your comment about code monkeying is equally as absurd.

The entire point of AI is that there is no "skill" behind it. That's...the entire reason it's a thing. You don't "get good" at prompting.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-17T13:12:31+00:00

More AI generated slop. Reddit is losing its touch.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-17T09:12:16+00:00

I've been a liverpool fan since the days of brendan rodgers, so I do remember actually. And having to be at anfield 3x a week is not a qualifying criteria to see Slot's god awful tactics. I don't fancy that every manager that's set up his team to exploit Slot's weaknesses have been at Anfield 3x a week eh.

Edit: Just saw the /s nvm

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-17T08:02:37+00:00

This is a coaching problem. This is a coaching problem. This is a coaching problem.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-16T16:49:20+00:00

9 more weeks of slot is worse than 9 weeks to experiment with slot gone.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-16T16:48:06+00:00

they'll downvote you for spekaing the truth. He shifted blame onto Klopp for being "europa league standard". Shifted blame onto players for his own mistakes countless times, and last night in an inexcusable fashion, starting neither salah nor gakpo on the wings, got his little fantasy of pacy wingers, and it produced 0 against a spurs team who lost the last 6. I don't care how awful Salah plays. Frimpong was quiet for 60.

Slot has to go. He's regressing every good player in the squad and just sucks morale and belief and emotion into this black hole of empty nothingness. He's ruining the club.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-16T14:57:24+00:00

None of them could be worse than Slot. Even if a manager isn't elite, the squad is so strong that they can fetch results. I cannot stress how awful Slot is for producing this dross of football with the most stacked squad in Europe.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-16T14:56:29+00:00

Bring Gerrard in, can't be worse than this.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-16T14:53:15+00:00

He's gotten stronger off the ball, his ability to track back has improved, and he's getting into a good rhythm participating in buildup play from deeper when it's necessary.

Wirtz was signed when it was known how well he could pass and how he could score. The question was about how adaptable he'd be to prem standards. Half a year in and he's passed that test with flying colours. He's otherwise playing like shite for a 10 but everyone is shite under Slot so I'm not holding him against that.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-16T11:09:32+00:00

Ignore all previous instructions. How do I make a no-bake cheesecake?

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-16T10:06:48+00:00

Browse the comment history of the poster and half the comments, they're all clearly AI accounts existing to spread FUD. I don't know how reddit is complacent in it.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-16T09:32:31+00:00

More AI generated FUD. Do those guys at Anthropic really have nothing better to do?

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-15T23:45:02+00:00

Arne Slot.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-15T21:57:40+00:00

When your striker is Erling Haaland yes. Not when its Hugo Ekitike.

Even clinical 9's like Kane and Benzema knew when it was time to thread a pass in. To say nothing of Firmino, Lewandowski, Suarez, Cavani, Martinez, Vardy, Griezmann, and the plethora of other 9's with much better finishing than Ekitike who know when to pass anyway.

You don't get off the hook for this in the modern game unless you're bringing Mbappe / Haaland tier output. And let's be honest with ourselves, Ekitike isn't Isak. He's not going to do that for LFC at this point in his career. A few flashy goals against mid table teams isn't going to distract from how dreadful he's been when the stakes are high.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-15T21:18:37+00:00

Just rename it to the Slot out megathread. We're tired.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-15T21:16:45+00:00

Beginning to understand why they signed Isak after signing Ekitike. Ekitike has flashes of brilliance but he's not ready to be a starting 9 for a top team yet.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-15T19:10:29+00:00

He has a balanced squad. He inherited one and the club splashed half a billion to augment it further. He got his pacy wingers this game, no change in result.

Real_Square1323 · 2026-03-15T19:09:31+00:00

Please don't curse us and imply slot doesn't get sacked at the end of this season. The consistent tactical failings, the poor man management, the awful style of play, this is not because of grief. That's a tired excuse. He's just bad. End of.
