So inspired by Ed1 fiesty outlook on life today.
What do you think of that Show Ed
Who was your favourite player (in red).
{Ed001's Note - what can I say that doesn't involve swearing? We are a shambles and Slot has completely lost any idea of management. His insane subs and tactical switches are so far removed from what he did last season. He clearly cracked his head badly on his booze cruise round Ibiza.
In that match? Not one of them played well. They were all abysmal at best. I will have to say Mac Allister for being so bad every week but still somehow avoiding being hung drawn and quartered by every pundit.}

Thankfully, I'm at work, so I missed this week's s*** show. I checked after 10 minutes, and saw Ekitike had gone off injured and been replaced with Jones. What was the logic behind this?
I didn't bother checking again until full time. I knew we wouldn't get a result.

To blame a man on the sidelines for that display is indeed amusing.
Top professionals on a football pitch are constantly excused because it's all Slot's fault. No, it's not. Slot will be gone in the summer, but a few of those players who start week in, week out in an even more physical and athletic Premier League are not up to standard.
"He picks the team." He has no midfielders. Let's start with that. Dom has been outstanding in effort and, for the most part, quality, but he can't carry two other players.
Who's Slot replacing Grav and Macca with? They're falsely seen as top-class players.
Grav has been very poor this season, and I don't want to hear about tactical tweaks. Go watch most of his half-assed tackles this season and the number of duels he's lost. But the club thought, wow, he's our no6, and doubled his already inflated wages for what he offers. Macca, the club are ready to sell. So what does that tell you?
If Alonso or Enrique came in, you'd stick with that same midfield. It's getting outrun, out-muscled and outwitted.
Slot's been a definite let down this season, but he's also been let down. The squad is lacking.

Agree totally with you there, Ron Funk.

"We've got a Funk in the system and a Rome-ing lack of common sense." ?

Come on Ed001, we need the pundits to lay off criticising Mac, so we can sell him in the summer. If anyone knew how bad he actually is, we would never sell him.
{Ed001's Note - fair point. Plus there is not a lot they can say other than he is cack.}

I think you ran out of descriptions for him quickly ed001 for that reason.
A big issue for pundits would be finding where he is on the pitch to actually observe him, since his mr invisible act has been class this season.
{Ed001's Note - he is very good at hiding, maybe he has a future career in hide and seek?}
