I made the grave error of actually watching last night's game. That was a bad call.
It's clear that Slot needs to go, he just doesn't have the skills to succeed long term in this league and his football is awful.
But I'm so sick of people giving total carte blanche to the players. Not so much on here but everywhere else it's all about how Slot should "manage their attitude", sorry but if playing for current league champions Liverpool is not motivation enough then they don't belong at the club.
Mac and Gakpo in particular just do not care, at all, until we are behind. You can see it in their faces and their body language, they could not care less. Until we go behind.
It's Slot's responsibility to drop them of course, but the attitude is just unforgivable.

Our squad doesn't suit this formation and slow, boring style. It's as simple as that.
Man United had a similar problem. Carrick comes in and scraps that back 5, and it's changed.
All we needed to do in the last 5 months is tweak it, and he's failed to do it week after week after week.

Been saying it for months (together with others):
Slot is completely out of his depth.
90% of people can see it: our fans, other teams' fans, other PL coaches, pundits, etc.
I bet even the muppets, Hughes and Edwards, can see it, but they won't sack him, so they don't look bad, as they pray and hope we have just enough individual quality to clinch a top 5 spot, but they're about to run out of luck.

I understand both sides of the story.
Slot cannot get the best out of these players, yet these players need to take accountability for their performances.
When that shirt is put on, it should be all systems go.
I've seen many posts where the players are called out, and rightfully so, and I've seen the same with Slot.
From an owner's perspective, is it easier to replace 1 man (coach / manager) or a bunch of underperforming players? I think the answer is quite straightforward.

The manager/head coach ultimately has to shoulder the responsibility, but it's not an easy decision, JLC.
Sacking someone is easy, but replacing them with someone who can guarantee improvement is very difficult.
So what do you do? Do you keep the same man for continuity, or do you replace him and his coaching staff and risk getting worse? Yes, it could very possibly get worse.
I think the job, with everything that's happened, is too big for Slot. He's not learning lessons. He's not the leader of men that the players have needed this season, but who is?

Man united had same problem as us a Dutch manager that was taking their club backwards and they did in the end come to the right decision and sacked him when are our suits going to come to the right decision and remove Slot? Because we are going backwards and if certain people on this site don't agree look at the league table we have gone from 1st to 5th
Which confirms my point.

Ten Hag took them into the Champions League and won two trophies, something they haven't done since.

Of course, JLC. It is always the manager that walks because if you sack the players, who is going to play? It's the nature of the beast.
For me, I go back to the fundamentals of football/team sport management. If stuff is this bad across the board with the team, and many are correctly blaming the manager for the system, tactics, fitness programme and player selection/mismanagement that directly leads to poor performances and poor results, the manager is to blame.
That has been the case from the jump.
So let's stick to that. That's all I'm saying.

florian but the football was rubbish it has taken two managers to have a reset and Man United are not anywhere near where they want to be. Yes he won trophies but so has slot that does not make everything right. Slot is another Dutch Manger who has had one good season.
Florian we sit in 5th position with a very limited chance of Champions league next season not much chance of winning the Champions league this season and this will be down to the head coach and his staff and they have to be moved on and the sooner the better YNWA

None of the trophies they won under Ten Slaps will ever rival Slot winning no. 20 at a canter. There are levels to this "winning trophies" stuff. Let's be real.
