I have been one of the biggest Slot out advocates since October. I find the way he ( in most games) sets the team up, the continuous use of ineffective tactics, until recently the continued use of the same under performing players, the obvious lack of creative ideas and apparent lack of intensity in training that is translated on to the pitch as irritating, baffling and not least inexcusable at this level. I've never hid that.
However I want to pick up on a point made by another poster ( I think warmachien) in a reply to Carra's latest post. Slot simply does not look like a man who has been told he will be replaced soon and his bosses are actively looking for his replacement. With the best level of professionalism in the world, there is no way he could carry on as he has been knowing that . It does not seem in any way that he thinks his job is in danger and his replacement is currently being scouted. He appears confident, assured and like a man who knows his job is safe. So as Warmachien pointed out, either he has no self respect and is willing to be treated like crap by his bosses ( which is what it is if this is the way its is playing out) whilst putting on an acting performance that is Oscar worthy, or its simply not true.
I have all the respect in the world for the Eds and the genuine ITK posters like Carra, but for me it just seems like nonsense that Slot is doing what he's doing without an ounce of resentment and obvious discourse Personally I think Slot will be with us till the summer no matter how bad results get, unfortunately.

I don’t know if anybody wanted him to leave
Most people just wanted him to adapt, the formation/ tempo/ structure doesn’t suit the squad anymore
We’re too slow for 4-3-3. We’ve seen that formation at it’s absolute best under Jurgan and it had speed/ power everywhere
We’re not comfortable on the ball enough at the back, for this Slow possession football. Konate, Kerkez, Frimpong etc… their strengths are not passing it around the back for massive chunks of the game
Just adapt to this talented squad. And for god sake stop playing Szobo at flipping right back!
442 diamond Until January has been and gone, and maybe then, after another few 100 million, the squad might actually suit the system. But until then only this system aligns with the squad
Especially after That inter result ?.

@Kim, what did you think of the Milan game?

@Kim as Ed01 has said, Slot is Edwards and Hughes' guy. They will not just chuck him out the door just cos a bunch a section of the fan base whined about it. They don't do that.
They will give him enuff time to turn things around and we all need to understand that. Having said all that, they are also compliling a list of potential replacements whould that time come to let Slot go and that time will come, IMO.
So in the end, we all have to be patient. I know I am even tho, I gave up after the Sun. game and now, want him gone. I supported him and he let me down. It is what it is.

Florian, I support the club. Slot is on his own, personally. Get over that.
