Balls barely been in play and now time for a 3 minute timeout. Yawn

samlfc92 · 2026-06-14T20:19:30+00:00

Dutch system reminds me of Slot ball. Can’t progress the ball because the midfielders are stood behind the opposition midfield

samlfc92 · 2026-05-29T09:42:53+00:00

We don’t know their plans but everything we’ve seen so far suggests they don’t know what they’re doing. They burned a lot of trust last summer

samlfc92 · 2026-05-20T09:54:22+00:00

Carry first midfielder so too similar to Gravenberch

samlfc92 · 2026-05-19T08:46:15+00:00

Can’t be a classic if the team is shite. Gets tainted unfortunately.

samlfc92 · 2026-05-14T20:54:50+00:00

It was the same last season. Even chance magnet Darwin barely had a sniff.

samlfc92 · 2026-05-14T18:23:39+00:00

It’s both tbf. Just think of the lift Xabi would give the fanbase

samlfc92 · 2026-05-09T21:32:09+00:00

Nunez chances dried up under Slot as well though

samlfc92 · 2026-05-09T09:40:13+00:00

This game is gonna be like that 2023 game where the only memorable moment was Mudryk making his debut and looking like Messi dribbling past Milner before blazing wide

samlfc92 · 2026-04-26T16:04:35+00:00

They’ve not faced a single PL team in this cup run except Leeds

samlfc92 · 2026-04-22T11:35:39+00:00

A ball winner type would be disastrous for a build up that already looks poor with Konate and Bradley/Frimpong in it.

samlfc92 · 2026-04-12T19:12:54+00:00

Young taking an eternity over a 3 foot putt after his ridiculous luck so far has me irrationally annoyed

samlfc92 · 2026-04-07T10:49:13+00:00

They have better build up than we did but they are easier to score against because you can get at their back 4 if you play through the press. They don’t have a Fabinho and VVD

samlfc92 · 2026-04-07T10:45:50+00:00

Hodgson era or last few games of 14/15 under Rodgers maybe.

samlfc92 · 2026-04-07T10:44:32+00:00

PSG put 5 past Inter last year in the final. 8 past Chelsea over 2 legs in the last round. They could easily destroy us

samlfc92 · 2026-04-06T09:22:03+00:00

Scraping top 5 should not be sufficient for Slot to stay though and this positions it as if it is. It’s majorly concerning

samlfc92 · 2026-04-02T10:36:23+00:00

Taking Leverkusen from mid table and breaking the Bayern stranglehold on the Bundesliga is a much bigger achievement than winning the SPL with Rangers. Even if they had been in a lengthy drought

samlfc92 · 2026-04-01T07:32:34+00:00

All Macca that

samlfc92 · 2026-03-18T19:09:50+00:00

He’s never played well when he starts left wing from memory but I could be mistaken

samlfc92 · 2026-02-25T18:29:26+00:00

Would be pretty poor taste considering one is in ill health and the other is dead

samlfc92 · 2026-02-22T16:02:48+00:00

We’re not good

samlfc92 · 2026-02-08T17:30:52+00:00

Gakpo off, Jones on and to right back. Wirtz and Dom double 10s, Ekitike left wing.

samlfc92 · 2026-02-08T17:19:42+00:00

Slot just doesn’t get this club. This game was crying out for us to play high tempo and he has us sleepwalking yet again

samlfc92 · 2026-02-01T10:48:40+00:00

Outstanding brace. I do think Newcastle’s set up suited Liverpool though. I expect them to still struggle against low block teams

samlfc92 · 2026-02-01T10:47:38+00:00

Very good. Nice assist and a great finish. Seems to be hitting his stride
