Well, another game, another loss. Where will it end? And are people here still waiting for us to 'click? '
Seems like this is only going to end one way with slot but there could be an even bigger problem with all these players we've signed. They just don't seem to compliment each other. Two strikers that make the same runs for £200m more seems utterly bonkers. A £116m number 10 that means we need to add some defensive cover to the team but we have Kerkez and Frimpong?
The whole thing is a mess and we are still needing some huge investment to sort out the defence, defensive midfield and probably a new full back. Not to mention the goalkeeper doesn't fit our style.
So many problems, I worry how we're going to go about fixing all of them.
Carra mentioned there's a whole host of managers willing to jump to us but I can't think of too many world class managers around.
I hope we can find away through here in the short term bit longer term this could be very painful.

So dramatic.

The big worry for me is the Calvary ain’t coming.

If he can’t get a Tune out of this squad he needs to be sacked. To have these players and lose every single match is a disgrace.

Thing that’s forgotten as well is that Arnes head coach. Although he may have had a say the signings including contracts were led by others at the club. It’s then on him and his assistants to organise and train them into a winning team.
To balance and succeed with the attacking flair we have we need a Fabinho type. If we got one of them in January it could look very different. City had a similar problem last year when they lost their key midfielder and bought lots of young offensive talent. Arnes partly to blame here, but not totally.

Go basic :
Defenders should Defend, midfielders should first win possession.

Basic problem solving: Go back to what works last season. ( some players lack sharpness but it should not differ much)
Add 1 player to original team one at a time to see what works.

I'm just putting this out there, and at this point I want to make clear that I don't want Slot to leave or get fired, though if this goes on and we keep losing until the international break then obviously I might feel differently. But folks saying that Carra would be wrong about so-called world class managers being enthusiastic to manage us, I'm not so sure that he's mistaken?
Surely even the likes of Enrique, as great as his team is, would relish taking on a truly top team with a stacked, if flawed, squad, in the toughest league in the world rather than walking the league and cup tournaments in France every year? I'm not saying that Enrique is who I would want if we really had to look for a new coach, but I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility at all.

Let’s just wait for it all to click Robbo. That’s the solution.
