Waning or not, he isn’t one of the issues the club need to sort to turn things around.

I think the lethargy is explained by a reluctance to get more injuries to an already thin squad. We don’t have the quality in depth to rotate enough to play that football. And once again, we don’t have the quality in some areas at all to do it. Changing the players is more important.

TGL is fairly watchable but there’s no doubt they should go down the Big Break / Bullseye route if they want to make proper tele.

Multiple ways to go about it but essentially having mid handicappers playing each other for prizes would get non golfers watching I reckon.

Hope you’ve got Blundel on. Most others seem to have lost their heads.

When there are glaring issues with the squad I see no point in picking holes in performances from our best players. There’s still not a player in the world I’d take over Van Dijk. Maybe he should have dived to get the foul but you can’t “be stronger” when you’re nudged in that position as you jump.

I just think you’ve made your mind up and refusing to see the wood for the trees. This is just like the seasons under Klopp where we didn’t have good enough CBs or CMs. We signed those players and were better the following summer. I’m pretty sure it’ll be the same again.

‘This team’ that now doesn’t have Trent or Diaz? They were key players whose profile we haven’t replaced. Do you think we would have had Klopp’s identity without Mane or Salah? To play that type of football you need a pacey, wide attacker. We don’t have one.

Harsh on Van Dijk. It’s maybe not quite a foul but it’s certainly more contact than you can expect to say “be stronger”.

It’s impossible to forge any identity when you don’t have the players. He’s got no weapons to play attractive football. We have far easier ways of correcting our troubles before sacking the manager.

Not sure what people think a different manager would do. Ngumoha clearly doesn’t have the fitness to start so any manager is still going to be stuck with a load of forwards that aren’t good enough. #LFC

I just feel for Slot at this stage. He’s got his hands tied with some of those players. Not to mention anything else that can go against us doing so. #LFC

To me the bottom line is I don’t think any manager would be doing considerably better in the same shoes. The squad is in transition, and what’s more, the injuries this season have robbed him of any flexibility he did have to get more out of it. I’m sure we compete again next season if Slot’s backed.

If we were getting this form under Alonso there wouldn’t be a single complaint. A lot of people have just decided they don’t like Slot (which is weird) and are no longer being objective.

If Alonso came in and saw us through our current form, those same people would be delighted.

I’ve said it before but I think a lot of people are just stubbornly doubling down because they’re realising it was a bit embarrassing to go after a title winning manager in what were clearly very difficult circumstances. Nobody can just say “sorry, I was wrong” any more.

Slot tried to play our football at the start of the season but quickly found out we don’t had the squad for it.

Since then he’s been pragmatic in finding different ways to win games to salvage something from the season and people moaned.

Win 5-2 and people still moan. Never happy.

Would be such a boost. Convinced this lad is at the level once his fitness is there.

It’s a shame he’s a blue because we could do worse than getting Ndiaye in the summer if we’re after a few wingers.

Even the practical reality of the pre season being disrupted and leaving the squad unfit. People just don’t have the patience to accept any tough periods these days. Think it stems from being such unbearable gob shites when it’s going well. The stick comes back their way and they need to deflect.

I’m convinced there are fans that are a bit gutted when we win now. I’d even go as far as to say they’d take 6th over 5th and a cup because they’d hate nothing more than have to accept they might have been wrong and acted a bit childishly. There are clear mitigating circumstances for Slot this year.

If anything Slot deserves massive credit for turning the game around at HT. Can be forgiven for looking toothless and directionless when Wirtz pulled out last minute. I do hope we start to see more of Ngumoha now though. He clearly offers something we’re missing.

Also seems to be a weird outright refusal to accept in any way that was a tricky away game just because they were 17th and played midweek. They may have been to Turkey but they smashed it and went in to their first home game under a new manager flying with a decent squad.

My best ever post. If only I was LadBible I could have been one of those virulent things.

Interesting Liverpool were better in the second half, after Slot was able to talk to them, then we went on to win with Gomez and Rio, two of Slots subs, playing a big part in that impetus. Odd.

Be arsed with the fucking whinging about how we won a difficult away game. Points are all that matter this season.

Rio Ngumoha should be getting more game time from now on. What a performance from him.

We keep doing this thing where at the one moment we commit 4/5 men forward on a move we get that one critical pass or touch wrong at the moment all our players get on the wrong side. It’s fucking head doing.

Ideal thanks. Believe I’ve only ticked the Vernon off there 👍

@knoxharrington.bsky.social I’m up for work in a few weeks… what are the 5 best pubs you reckon I won’t have been in yet? Pretty sure we’ve scoped most areas out and some of our favourites are Ship & Mitre, Vines, St Peter’s, Pogues, Baltic Fleet. What gems have we missed?
