Arne said in his presser today that we have been the best team on the pitch for 70-80% of our games this season. This is very worrying if he actually thinks that, because he is just lying to himself at this point.
I would honestly say it's the other way around and that we've been the worst team on the pitch for at least 80% of our games this season despite what useless position and xG stats tell us imo. What do you guys think about this?
14 May 2026 14:06:26
Truly delusional. The games we have been best is the games that teams have stood of us. That is probably about 5 or 6 games this season, the rest we have simply been 2nd best and just relied on player quality (in moments) to get us a result.

This is also my fear. He sees football very differently. He has a style that he likes and it's not a style that many others would like.
We need to get off this Slot train ASAP.

He talks about the game like he's a neutral analyst/pundit. He reels off all the things that happen like he's an observer rather than being accountable or willing to roll his sleeves up and be a problem solver.
It's so strange.
14 May 2026 14:33:02
It's really beyond belief that he thinks this, never mind actually stating it, is he watching the games on mushrooms?
14 May 2026 14:38:07
Fatwallet, ??? I think I'll need to do that myself just to be able to watch next season with Slot at the helm ? Thanks, man, you just solved the problem. ??

That is absolutely wild if he truly believes that.
At best I've enjoyed 20% of our games this season, and that's likely being quite generous!
14 May 2026 15:02:53
He genuinely thinks that having 70% of possession means we're the better team 70% of the time. He's off his rocker.
14 May 2026 15:32:17
We are not even the best team on the pitch for that percentage in a single game nevermind the season. He really is living in cuckoo land if he believes what he said, and if the people above him believe it too, then they're as bad.

Perfect description, that pelican.
14 May 2026 14:53:45
The stats don't support what he's saying, the results don't support what he's saying nor does what we're actually seeing. The man is absolutely delusional, the fact he thinks this is fine suggests to me if he someone sticks around next season he won't be lasting long. And if that happens then he can take the chuckle brothers Hughes & Edwards with him too.
14 May 2026 16:32:36
Fatwallet, that did make me laugh.

Giving prime Ten Hag a run for his money.

"Arne said in his presser today that we have been the best team on the pitch for 70-80% of our games this season."
And people wonder why the players have tuned him out, and not playing for him along with fans booing him and wanting him gone. Seriously, would you break a neck and work hard if he was your manager at your job? I know I wouldn't and would tune him out, as well.
@Fatwallet and @Pelican said it well. Slot acts like an outside pundit analysing a club play from afar, unlike one who manages said club and is directly responsible for the very things he is talking about.
