Replace
Macca an grav as the two in midfield
Sign a right back ( I'd go for gertruida)
Remove gakpo an salah from
The flanks
Job done.

What's that going to do if the football is woeful? It's job done when Slot goes.
04 Mar 2026 06:56:29
He has to go as well, as he seems like someone who can't adapt well enough and inspire a squad.

Gakpo's performance last night was criminal. He was so greedy, not a team player, and to take the ball off Curtis's chest, which would have been a goal, was just desperate football.
Even Gerrard called Slot out last night and said Rio has to start the next game.
I just don't understand how Slot can't or won't see it. Gakpo slows the game down and is so predictable. I'm surprised that the players don't have a go at him for not passing, especially Kerkes.

Frode, it's not job done when Slot goes, though, is it? Will players who've been playing dogs doo doo all season suddenly become world-beaters under a new manager? I can't see that suddenly happening. There is so much that needs fixing with our side.
I can't see things changing overnight.
In my opinion, we need an RB, a CB, 2 central midfielders, and 2 wide forwards.
The manager will go; things can't carry on. But my concern is that there is no quick fix.

Nobody knows what will happen for us, but United very quickly changed after they replaced their manager. They were worse than us, and now we are looking up at them in the table. So, maybe there are quick fixes.

If we're struggling for wingers, why can't we play 3 CB, 2 WB for the width, 3 midfielders with 2 drifting to flanks as worts likes to do, one holding (a Caicedo type unit), then two strikers in Isak and Ekitike.
Or is that just going to fall apart? I feel like we lack width due to Gakpo and, at times, Salah's refusal to use the overlap anyway.

Good players don't become bad overnight.
Carrick has got Man United playing. They may well take our Champions League place.

I hope you're right, Yuri. I'm usually a positive poster, and a lot view me as a Slot sympathiser, which I'm certainly not. We're in a bad place at the minute, and we enter a critical few weeks of our season.
I'm just glad I cherished last season, because I didn't think success would last forever. I just didn't expect things to turn so bad, so quickly.

Rome1977!, Have you not seen what's happened with United this season? It was literally job done as soon as they got rid of that other fool.
04 Mar 2026 13:20:10
@Chewy, Amorim was a pompous piece of work with an ego the size of OT, playing players in a system that clearly did not suit them nor their profiles individually, even tho they have some actually really good players. Wait. Now where have I seen this before? Ah yes, currently at LFC.
Now, they have Carrick, who is also a manager, who has simply made a few tweaks and is playing a basic style of footie that the players enjoy, and has given them the confidence and freedom to go express themselves. That's all this is and nothing more.

I agree, Rome, we do need that number of new players. There's another big summer of spending coming!
04 Mar 2026 15:55:17
Shankly, if we have no CL footie, that summer may not be as big as you think in terms of attracting players who can really get us moving again.
We may need to shop clever at that point. Just saying.
