We got battered by a far better team, no surprises here.
Slot is going at the end of the season, I do hope this is correct.
Alonso looks like our only option, Enrique will extend at PSG, Iraola wants to go back to his Basque roots, Hoeness is unproven.
MacAllister, Jones, Frimpong, Elliott must all be sold, nowhere near good enough for Liverpool.
Konate, let him go, we already have his replacement.

Absolutely agree, half of our team just aren't up to it.
Mo tried when he came on, but watching him trying to run is actually quite sad when you remember the prime athlete he was. He needs a pair of Nordic walking sticks to get going.
Although Kerkez has improved a bit, he's still pretty raw as well, so you can add him to the yet to be decided list.
You can even add Ekitike to that despite promise earlier in the season.
We're in a difficult position. A derby is actually not a bad way to start to get out of it tbh.

I thought Kerkez was excellent yesterday, not sure why the jury is still out on him? Messed up a presentable chance maybe, but everything else about his game was very good.

These guys are bad footballers over one poor season. Get a new manager in, get them fit and see what's what.

You will not find a better squad player than Jones and Konate was one of the only players who performed yesterday. They would have been 2-0 up in the first half if not for him.
Frimpongs garbage imo tho not my kind of fb, couldn't make a single pass yesterday and was getting outpaced as well. The first goal is all on Mac Allister and tbh I didn't think it was a pen either- sell. Gravenberch doesn't offer enough oop or passing wise to start midfield at this level as a 6 or 8.
And Gakpo has got to have the most insecure selfish playing style I've ever seen- pass the ball to Rio? No, in his mind it's better to dribble into Rio's space and then give the ball away. Leave a pass going wide-left that obviously wasn't for you? No, I'll intercept it and give it to the opposition. Like what team are you playing for, mate? Europa League level at a push. Should hope Slot packs him in his suitcase when he f***s off.

@Let's, especially one who just plays the lineup required for the occasion rather than handicapping himself by playing unfit, out of form players to prove a point that no one knows a damn thing about.

The point with Jones is, he has been a squad player for 6yrs and nobody can tell me his nailed on position. He is not complete at any position he plays. He can't cross a ball to play out wide, doesn't score enough to play in the 10, has no defensive awareness to play in midfield. And he slows everything down with his 5 yard passes.

Think Kerkez has been one of our better players for a while now.

Why did Slot bring on Jones for Gomez, then put Sboz right back? I do not understand that!!! Isak should be kept back till next season, he is not going to get match fit with several games to go, so keep him back and work on his fitness.
Don't forget he did not have a pre-season. I would start Rio, Gakpo and Salah for the rest of the season. YNWA
