Cheers for your earlier reply Ed01, i had seen it before but not sure where it has gone.
Wonder when do all us fans think it will get to a point where he has to go? I am never one to want him to go after a bad couple of results, especially as he does have some credit in the bank. However, as a mate pointed out in years gone by with Jurgen, when we had struggled under him. There was always reasons and you could see he tried to adapt at times and of course there was times when he stuck to the same players and system and got it wrong. With that being said it seems with Slot he just has no clue on where to fix the side at the minute. Everything starts with a positive performance on the pitch, i think us fans would understand loosing the games we have if there was a style etc but there isn't even that at the minute.
Begs the question to anyone seeing this post and Ed01, how long would use give him before he gets the sack? Our next 4 games are detrimental in order for him to keep his place for me. We go out the cup early, don't get 3 pts against Villa and potentially loose to City and Madrid and it is all of a sudden looking very very gloomy, if it’s not already.
Opinions all? Even so you Ed01 mate what would it take? As you loose a few in the league as we have an all of a sudden your chasing top 4.
{Ed001's Note - it depends on how we play. If the players are not going to work hard under him, then he is going to be going before Xmas. If he can get them to at least put some effort in and win a few second balls etc, then he deserves time. He has to change things.}

Also, you have to account for this question, as well: Where will we be should he be able to turn things around? Cos to me, this is the sticking point hence, why many of us thing the title is done for now.

How long is a piece of string, OliRed?
The title is done for now? Do you mean this season?

After the palace game the following 3 games may suit us better than what teams we have played recently. Villa, city and Madrid all footballing teams who will play football, are problems seem to be teams who turn it into a scrap and we done have the stomach for it seemingly.
I wouldn't usually worry too much about league cup but we could do with bit of lift at min, but I do believe villa at home is must win.

Thats optimistic view digger n can see your point a bit but they way we are playing. id rather not be playing Villa, Citeh or Madrid any time soon.

Rigsby, great question. For me, the title is no longer our priority at this point. Also, for how much time? Frankly, I don't know. I am not Slot out personally, just to be clear. I welcome the optimism. But things ain't looking good and are getting worse. I can write a whole thesis on the managerial errors he made with the subs vs Brentford, that's how worse it is getting.
Now, it all depends on Slot now cos a lot of chips invested into his proven ability. No one is forcing him to play this way, neither was Klopp forced to play the way he was playing that was killing us in the 22/ 23 season and stuck with it. It's on him now. Slotand no one else, will decide his own fate. It's that simple.

OliRed, can you write that thesis on the managerial errors with the subs vs Brentford, please?
