What I really can't get my head around, is Slot had four hard working skillful wingers at Feyernood.
His team were known as the Kings of the cutbacks because they scored so many of their goals from their wingers getting to the byline and cutting the ball back into the box.
He also expected a high work rate from both starting wingers and would substitute both virtually every game for the final third.
He has obviously abandoned this at Liverpool for whatever crazy reason.
If he does end up staying next season he needs to get in fast, skillful and creative wingers and get back to playing front foot and exciting football.

Difficult to implement when our star man on the wing doesn't play that way. If Slot's staying, we really have to get this window right.

We havnt got one fast winger. None of Salah, Chiesa, Gakpo or young Rio are speedsters. And the two starting wingers never want to hit the byline, they are all about trying to get shots away themselves.

Does make you wonder how much is down to the assistant manager when it comes to Slot? This season, GVB clearly had a say with the tactics, given we adopted that Rangers horseshoe nonsense.

Florian blaming the players for Slots tactics now. You have to be on the wind up. Because anybody with at least one brain cell wouldn't type as much nonsense as you do.

WD40, its just constant drivel isn't it
30 Apr 2026 21:08:49
Who did I criticise, lads?
30 Apr 2026 22:04:52
Florian, you'd argue with yourself in a mirror if you could, n still be wrong on everything

So you can't tell me who I criticised, Strom, can you? ? Saying what players are isn't criticising them. Salah and Gakpo are practically famous for cutting in to try to get a shot away. And, if you think any of the four lads are speedsters like a Minteh, this young lad Toure we're interested in or a young Sterling, then fine, you go ahead buddy.

Pretty hard to do when your wingers are Gakpo, Chiesa, a child, and Mo, who decided to bungy jump off the cliff with his mega contract.

Fm, so you're saying Slot is a 1 trick pony? He hasn't got wingers he needs for how he wants us to play, and has no plan b?
Last season he had wingers who both cut inside to shoot, but managed ok?

So wingers are the source of our downfall? Utter rubbish. We had the winning formula last and the bald fraud opted to change tactics, reduce fitness and have zero ideas how to change games. They day he opted for a five man back line against PSG when we'd played it only once before I believe showed me how clueless he is.

It wasn't actually me who started the thread, Yorkshire. The guy who did stated Klopp's team in Holland were known as the King of the cutbacks. Have you seen many cutbacks from our wingers this season? The OP also thought we needed fast, skillful and creative wingers. I think we have skillful and creative wingers, but no fast ones. Do you think we have any fast wingers? You're right about the wingers cutting in last year. The difference is, last year, the shots were going in. On the one trick pony thing, I think when your widemen have been as bad as ours this season, it's gonna have an effect. What are we down, something like 20 league goals just from Mo between this season and last? That's not criticising Mo btw, before people chime in, he's the best player of the last decade. Time has just caught up. What it's shown, though, is that while he's struggled, no one else has been able to pick up the torch.
