Liverpool banter 8

03 May 2026 18:14:36
Why does it feel like Slot wants to win his way or not at all?

We went back to 2-2 playing more on the front foot, then as soon as we equalise we go back to slow "control".

It feels like arrogance is going to be his downfall.

03 May 2026 18:50:53
It hasn't brought about his downfall yet... so I'd scratch that off the "What will it take for Slot to get sacked?" list...

03 May 2026 18:58:32
I think he simply wants to just get it over with and go home. There's no discipline. Players all away midweek posting social media photos with their partners, then deliver a first half performance like that. I have to say, unless someone comes in that knows how to manage Wirtz, he's been a complete waste of money, like a little boy lost.

Make Szboz captain and replace Vvd coz this team lacks leadership under him. Salah and Robbo have both hinted they are leaving and fear for the future coz no one is setting the standards within the group outside of them. Rip it up and start again. Big summer of change is required.

03 May 2026 18:59:19
It feels like arrogance is going to be his downfall. The same goes for the 3 of them.

03 May 2026 19:11:17
I got slaughtered by the Irish Rover the other day cus I said that Slot was a narcissist, but my question is, what do you call a manager who is so sure that he is right that he fails to address, or even question, that the problem with our players is his training and their fitness? Instead, he thinks it's bad luck, and his solution isn't more training or tougher training, it's more time off for players who have massively underperformed! Who in their right mind thinks this man can turn us around? He needs to go.

03 May 2026 19:17:37
SA, same old stuff, diff. day.

04 May 2026 05:08:27
Exactly, Jimjim.

I don't understand how someone can keep his job working part time that he was contracted to do full time, especially when earning such obscene amounts and at an elite sports club...

Like, this would never ever happen in any other workplace.

It's absolutely ridiculous and shows how standards have fallen, and how out of touch also FSG are. If I was the owner, several heads would've rolled loooong ago!

03 May 2026 17:55:10
As Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank said on Sky's Overlap last year. Dutch football doesn't work in the Prem. We need a change and I hope it happens. Now 18 losses in all competitions. The players also have been dreadful. We've become Utd under Ten Hag.

03 May 2026 18:27:19
Slot definitely needs to go. Thanks for number 20, but the more influence he has on the team and the club the worse we are getting.
While a very large amount of this lands at his feet, a large number of the players have been absolutely awful and a large clear out is required.

03 May 2026 18:28:23
There is a reason they've won feck all at any level in yonks.

03 May 2026 18:47:31
I don't even wanna spend a penny if Slot is manager. We've got our limit on how much to waste in transfer windows, just to play this Boring, Slow and Cowardly system.

Get rid of this man at all costs, it's been the worst season since pre Jurgan.

03 May 2026 18:52:13
Actually we are worse, Keegan, because Ten Hag at least had a counter attacking style of play... We have no style.

03 May 2026 19:18:33
As I said in a thread yesterday, if I had 300m to give to a manager next season, it most defo will not be to this guy.

03 May 2026 22:34:16
Oli, if I only had 3 quid, I wouldn't trust it to Slot, Edwards or Hughes, never mind 300m.

03 May 2026 17:43:23
First time Man Utd doing the double over us in a decade.
• First time losing 6 of 7 games since 1902, until Arne Slot.
• PSV Eindhoven had never beaten Liverpool FC in 112 years, until Slot.
• Manchester City hadn’t done the double over Liverpool in 89 years, until Slot.
• Plymouth Argyle hadn’t beaten Liverpool in 68 years, until Slot.
• Liverpool hadn’t lost a home domestic cup game by 3+ without scoring since 1934, until Slot.
• Manchester United hadn’t won at Anfield since 2016, until Slot.
• Conceded 5 league 90th-minute winners in one Premier League season, until Slot.
• Nottingham Forest hadn’t won at Anfield in 55 years, until Slot.


• Fulham FC hadn’t won at Craven Cottage vs Liverpool since 2011, until Slot.
• Galatasaray SK hadn’t kept a clean sheet vs an English side since 2012, until Slot.
• Chelsea FC hadn’t won back-to-back vs Liverpool since 2014, until Slot.
• Crystal Palace FC hadn’t beaten Liverpool at Selhurst Park since 2014, until Slot.
• Newcastle United FC hadn’t beaten Liverpool in 9 years, hadn’t won a cup game since 1995, and had never beaten them in a final, until Slot.
• Liverpool hadn’t lost to a Championship side since 2017, until Slot.….. I’m sure I’ll
Have more later.

03 May 2026 17:59:09
But we've just won three in a row before this game...

03 May 2026 18:01:55
So... what's your point exactly, PostKlopp?
Not sure I'm following what you're trying to say...

03 May 2026 18:08:25
But we had such a good unbeaten run this year? ;)

03 May 2026 18:09:25
"There's no point in sacking Slot now."

Eejits, 2 months ago.

03 May 2026 18:09:53
Generational run from Slot.

03 May 2026 18:10:47
#Slot in.

03 May 2026 18:13:43
I always find cherry picked stats like this funny as it proves nothing, you can do exactly the same, and cherry pick good ones too for Slot

Most Wins in First 50 Games: Slot set a club record with 36 wins in his first 50 matches.

Best Start: First Liverpool manager to win 11 of his first 12 matches.

Away Record: First Premier League manager to win his first 6 away games.

Highest Win %: Held the highest win percentage of any Liverpool manager in Premier League history (71.4%) early in his tenure.



Fastest to 15 Wins: Fastest Premier League manager to reach 15 wins in all competitions.

To be facetious, we can do negative stats for Klopp too.

First time conceding 7 in a league game since 1963 (Villa 7-2).

First time conceding 5 at Anfield in Europe (Madrid 5-2).

First time losing 6 straight home league games ever.

I am not advocating for Slot but these sorts of things are meaningless really.

03 May 2026 18:17:26
Utd and Liverpool put PSG and Bayern to shame today.

They have a non competitive farmers league, and we have the most competitive league in the world that allows players to go on holidays during the week.

We might not have won the game today, but we won the hearts of football fans worldwide, showing it's not all about winning, it's about participation. 🤣

03 May 2026 18:18:01
I'm sure you're being sarcastic. Having 8 more losses already, in comparison to last year, is the telling story. 3 consecutive games won are meaningless in a 38 game season.

03 May 2026 18:19:44
JLC, his point is, Slot is in way too deep.

03 May 2026 18:26:29
I mean, Klopp lost to Napoli and Red Sta Belgrade for the first time in our history, and lost 6 games in a row for the first time ever, so I'm not really sure what your point is.

03 May 2026 18:30:02
Not an excuse, but both times have been a robbery, Macca head injury last time, this time a handball. The Prem wants its story, hence the weird decisions against West Ham too. They need their soap opera. Fernandeshhhh needs to break the assist record for them.

03 May 2026 18:34:10
JLC, I think he's saying that the manager, who I've given a lot of leeway to, has managed to set a lot of unwanted records in the last 18 months. It's time to move him on.

03 May 2026 19:19:19
Sailor, they 100% deserved to win that game, that was not a robbery, that was game mismanagement and intermittent effort. We were only arsed for 1/3 of that game.

03 May 2026 19:31:45
Man, the literalism on these pages is embarrassing. So many pedantic over stats. I remember arguing with a Liverpool fan who was trying to convince me Lucas Leiva was better than Alonso because he had a better pass ratio. Thought the magic of sight and common sense, that was lunacy, as is anyone condoning that self righteous buffoon in the dugout.

He rightfully got his plaudits last season, but he deserves every shred of criticism now. Woeful doesn't even cut it.

03 May 2026 19:49:04
Give him an extension.

03 May 2026 19:57:12
Exactly what I posted yesterday, Frode. Unfortunately.

03 May 2026 14:47:04
Slot did not lower the standards after Klopp. Fsg did. They've allowed journey men to run amuck in top positions.
There should be mass changes in the summer regarding key positions. If it doesn't happen, the club will regress back to sheer mediocrity before Klopp.
The squads completely wrong. The transfer window has shown to be a failure and the types of players we're earmarking rings alarm Bell's. You cannot replace Allison Becker with dean Henderson.
The player's rewarded with massive contracts aren't anywhere near top class, yet who's idea was it to double everyone's pay packet?!
I have no sympathy for Curtis Jones. The lads looking a massive pay day too regardless of appearances.

Loyalty? Give me a break.
Slot, Edwards, Hughes and maybe more should be out the door.
Im listening to "stability". This team has crawled to where we are. We are appalling in every sense. That's not stability. That's knowing we've an average squad and an out of depth manager.
Nobody wants to watch this anymore. You can only tantalize the fans and paying fans at stadiums until they've had enough.
Slot must go. Or the fans will make their voice very loud next season because the patience has worn out.
Far too many journey men are far too comfortable. This is Liverpool, not spurs or Everton (ed025😂😂).

{Ed025's Note - you wish Ron.. :)

03 May 2026 17:28:54
Ron, to say this is all on FSG is wrong. Slot is the head coach, there and paid a lot to get the basics right - Fitness... He can't and hasn't; he has dropped the ball as much as FSG.

03 May 2026 17:40:24
FSG saved this club. Slot is burying it by degrees. Why are we constantly passing it in a horseshoe when we have teams under the cosh? No one cares about possession or xG. It's not 2015 anymore.

03 May 2026 17:41:09
Slot is all wrong for Liverpool.

He needs to go first and then we'll talk about everything else.

His idea of football is absolute garbage to watch.

We are, without doubt, the most boring team in England and there are some seriously boring ones out there.

Slot benefitted from the Klopp transition.



The more his ideas the shape, the worse we look. He is not up to scratch and it will be an absolute farce if he is kept on next season.

I can't watch another season like this one.

He is a dead weight on this football team and needs out the door as quick as humanly possible.

03 May 2026 17:42:24
Now it's FSG's fault... Oh wow.

Slot is paid to set the standards.
He alone has allowed them to drop, and he needs to take accountability for that.

FSG are to blame... Cmon, mate.

03 May 2026 17:44:00
If FSG look at us n can't see this total s*** show, then they are to blame as well, it's ok hiring ppl like Edwards n co n then sitting back n letting them get on with the job with no consequences, then we have Edwards who looks like he is sticking with his mistake for next season in the hope that it all works out, then they are to blame, then we have the manager who is completely out of his depth n doesn't even want to be here, the players also need a kick up the backside, even Salah said the standards are slipping in training.

All in all a s*** show.

03 May 2026 17:48:43
FSG Out protests all next season if we keep this manager, we're at a pivotal moment here as a club.

03 May 2026 18:01:01
Slot is the issue, bottom line. But his other two amigos Edwards and Hughes are culpable too, as are the owners. They must be sleepwalking if they think this SS will get any better.

03 May 2026 18:01:06
You and me both, Davey, another season of this dross is unthinkable. What's the point having 62% possession when we do f*** all with it. Had a pants full of Slot and his tactics.

03 May 2026 18:02:39
FSG own the club. If the people running things on the daily aren't doing their jobs, it's up to FSG to step in and make the tough decisions. They haven't done it. They share the blame whether you like it or not.



If you owned a restaurant and let the manager run it into the ground when you could have stepped in, is he the only one that takes the blame?

03 May 2026 18:14:04
The great Edwards and his stooge Hughes are about to get found out. Buying players because of opportunism is different to actually having a plan.

03 May 2026 18:32:26
Spot on as always, Chewy.

03 May 2026 18:35:27
FSG own Liverpool. They have appointments in place, failing massively in their positions.
Skip the s***. They gave the go ahead for over half a billion in investment. Where's the return for it? This season has been a failure on all fronts. The signings are not worth what was paid for them, and the squad lacks in several positions. The club also failed in two windows, to sign 1 CB.
This all does not fall just on Slot.

If Slot is kept on, that's not on Slot, that's on those above him allowing the rot to continue.
We are not ruthless as a club, and it's held us back from further success. There's clearly a fear that ruthless means reckless. What's reckless is allowing the future of this club to be gambled on whether Slot wants to prioritise Holland. Simply bizarre. I'd sack the lot of them.

03 May 2026 18:43:06
Bingo.

03 May 2026 19:06:27
Jurgen Norbert Klopp was the "Saviour" of Liverpool Football not FSG.

Anybody saying it was not Jurgen Norbert Klopp is doing a great injustice to a great LFC manager.

Can anyone name me one PL team that FSG picked, or any tactical training session FSG conducted?

People who say if FSG had not come, then LFC would have gone to the wall and the Anfield Stadium would now have tumbleweed blowing through it, and probably waiting to be developed as a new Aldi, must believe in Father Christmas as well!!!

The most successful English Football Club "Ever" will never fade away into the abyss, our LFC family would never let it happen, Hillsborough and "You'll Never Walk Alone" is a lesson that has obviously not been learnt by a few, when a UK Government tried to close it for good, and were "routed" by the Hillsborough families and "Thank God" Justice.



YNWA 97 and 20.

03 May 2026 19:24:49
Spot on, Ron. The only thing FSG needs to do is to take a hard look at what is happening at the club right now, cos those two bozos and their pony Slot are gonna ruin everything they and Klopp have built.

They had better seek true accountability and make sure that the standards don't drop. First, they have to make those bozos answer for why Slot was allowed to be in the job for this long with no change in sight and losing this many games.

And then, let them make the case as to why he should be kept.

They had better wise-up cos in the end, it's their asset. If they let their mates ruin it, then that's on them.

03 May 2026 14:04:01
Just saw the leaked kits for next season. Nothing is going right for our club. Very tough times ahead.

03 May 2026 14:09:00
Just took a look at it and have to agree with you, Cafu. I know what kind of look they are going for but I very much prefer the full clean red look than what they're doing. Fingers crossed that it's fake though.

03 May 2026 14:09:46
Maybe it's Ward & Co trying to identify the leaks within the club?

Not like they have any footballing issues to resolve...

03 May 2026 14:12:13
Very tough times ahead, because you don't like the new kit?

03 May 2026 14:20:13
Going for the 89/90 candy sponsored style. In other news, Isak is out, whoever leaked that to that rag should hang their head in shame.

03 May 2026 14:45:30
Have to say I like the look of the supposed 3rd kit, even though it looks like it should be a Newcastle training top from 1992.

03 May 2026 14:47:23
Now we would look bad while playing bad. At least we looked good.

03 May 2026 14:49:24
Just when we thought things couldn't get any worse! I might start supporting Everton, because I like their kit.

03 May 2026 15:02:27
I actually like the look of that kit, better than this season's which I think is awful. My favourite kit of modern times, though, is the blood red kit of 2019, I think it was, and again the kit from last season was pretty tasty.

03 May 2026 15:17:13
I really liked the home kit from Warrior in 2012-13, collar, red and gold.

03 May 2026 15:24:35
No 8, yes I liked that kit too! I think that was Gerrard's final jersey?

03 May 2026 15:32:41
He left a bit later, 2015.

03 May 2026 18:33:42
Cafu, were you born last week? The Candy kits were awesome and I'm all for the nostalgia trip. Unfortunately, the team look like they were born yesterday.

03 May 2026 12:28:10
With everyone going on about Isak and injuries, what's the freakiest or unluckiest injury you've heard of? 🤔 I can remember the Valencia goalie who stood on a bottle of aftershave and missed the World Cup. 🤔

03 May 2026 12:58:15
Kirk Broadfoot, who played for Rangers, suffered facial burns after a poached egg exploded in his face in the microwave, and Sam Henderson was injured by a runaway cow while visiting his father's farm.
Steve Morrow broke his arm or dislocated his shoulder after falling off Tony Adams' shoulders after winning FA Cup.

03 May 2026 13:08:57
Robby, I knew about that injury the moment it happened to the Spain no. 1 Santhiago Canizares, then Valencia's GK. That injury allowed a certain Iker Casillas to step in and never relinquish the spot. That was crazy.

As for the Boadfoot and Henderson one, those are actually insane examples. Morrow's injury? I am speechless.

03 May 2026 13:30:41
Michael Stensgaard somehow dislocated his shoulder setting up an ironing board. It then recurred, required surgery, and more or less ended his hopes of being a Premier League level player.

03 May 2026 13:34:42
Something red - proof that these household chores are dangerous & best left alone.

03 May 2026 13:37:43
Asensio got an infected pimple or cut shaving his legs.

03 May 2026 13:44:46
Didn't Kirkland injure himself getting out of bed, or something similar?

03 May 2026 13:46:09
It was kept under wraps, in his final season Shaqiri got an infection on his scalp after having a transplant done in Turkey. He was out for a lengthy period. Should have had the procedure in London like Klop did.

03 May 2026 13:48:56
I swear, Davod Seamen got injured reaching for his remote controller!

03 May 2026 14:01:02
Mbappe got injured when he fell out Bradley's pocket.

03 May 2026 14:01:31
David James did the same thing. He also blamed a dip in form on a thumb injury from playing too many video games.

03 May 2026 14:04:59
I saw my teammate's forearm clean snap in a game. He fell and had his hand on the ground for support with ball at his feet, and some idiot slid in and snapped his arm. It was absolutely gruesome.

03 May 2026 14:26:33
I remember a story from Switzerland, where a player was celebrating, jumped on the wired fence that separates the fans from the pitch...

His wedding ring got caught in one of the gaps and tore part of his finger off - to add insult to injury, he got a yellow card for over celebrating.

03 May 2026 11:31:02
Hi Ed001,

Would love your opinion on this, if you have time.

The club really worries me at the moment, with its current direction.

We seem to be getting rid of any semblance of a leadership group at the club. Rather than phasing them out, it's nah, you can all go at the same time. Salah, Robertson and rumours of Allison as well. VVD is on the wane and looking through the current squad, there doesn't seem to be anyone who sets the standard.

Salah mentioned in his recent interview, that he was worried about standard setting and that it was time for him to move on, hinting at strife behind the scenes (implying the higher ups).

Slot constantly talks the club down. Not talking about how great we are or what we can do but more about how great other teams are (particularly PSG). This automatically shows weakness and lack of leadership from the boss, something I don't think I've ever heard from a Liverpool boss in all the years I've been supporting.

Constant rumours of days off, lack of training, breaks to ibiza, Dubai etc which then seems to result in no intensity in matches apart from a few dotted throughout the season.

Not addressing the holes in the squad, rather buying players that don't suit the system we play and then leaving us with gaps bambi on ice could still skate through.

I'm really worried that as long as Edwards, Hughes and Slot remain in charge, we are going to go backwards even further than this season and find it hard to recover.

One of the other things as well, is this supposed rumour of Isak not being fit for today's match, a supposed scoop for the unmentionable rag. Who would leak to that scum paper, should be thrown out of the club immediately if true.

Do you think there is a lot of trouble brewing and only getting worse or just a blip on a golden horizon?

{Ed001's Note - Slot fell out with most of the senior players, which is why they are going. Standards are dropping alarmingly, but it was always going to happen the moment Edwards was brought back. He is mediocrity and he surrounds himself with more like himself.}

03 May 2026 12:47:53
Bwm, your post is what worries most of the fans, a return to mediocrity. We have been a shadow of ourselves this season, but for some reason certain ppl at the club think it will be all ok to persist with Slot, when the majority of Liverpool fans know this isn't going to be the case n, lets face it, we know our team better than anyone. We are sliding back down from the joys n bragging rights of what Klopp brought us, the ppl who praise Edwards n co don't seem to realise that without Klopp we'd still be similar position to the times when we had Rodgers, Hodgson etc but because Klopp got the best out of these players, they've put Edwards n co on a high pedestal for buying players n think he can do it again, but this time with Slot.

03 May 2026 13:18:33
I think the whole of next season will be toxic, FSG Out protests.

03 May 2026 13:31:03
LFC8, I very much doubt that will happen. They've given us a 60k capacity stadium, new training facilities, and they spent 430 million last summer. The vast majority of football supporters could only dream of having such owners.

Be careful what you wish for. Yes, this season has been a pile of muck, but I have confidence that things will get sorted, one way or another.

I reckon the majority of supporters realise that we could have far worse owners.

03 May 2026 13:14:28
"Slot fell out with most of the senior players, which is why they are going."


I knew it. I just wasn't sure but Ed has confirmed it. For Robbo to want to leave and go to the abject dumpster fire that is Spurs, just tells the story right there.

Now, AB1 is looking into leaving for Juventus. Jones may not be a senior player like the others (even tho, he has been here for 6/7 years) but for a guy who bleeds the red of Liverpool to want to go, also tells the story.

Ed01 pls, do you think there is a purge going on at the club where Edwards and co. are trying to clean house and get rid of the legends atthe club so Slot doesn't have to deal with them and the pushback they give to his ideas?

{Ed001's Note - they seem to think that they are facing a Real Madrid style player power issue, rather than a coach not doing his job.}

03 May 2026 13:50:18
Can't be serious, LFC8. Owners have been great, the management needs to change. Man United fans would cut their collective right arm off to have owners like ours.

03 May 2026 13:55:16
Rome1977! - The problem isn't the owners. They have done some daft things in their 15 years of ownership, but in reality they have been among the best owners in the league overall.
The issue is with idiots like Edwards. There are times when Klopp should have listened to others, but he was the factor that made the rest of the club look amazing.


I have no confidence this will get sorted. Until Klopp, we were mediocre for 25 years. Now he's gone, what awaits us now?

03 May 2026 13:57:40
Time will tell, Rome. I hope you're right. But it started with boos, now protests about ticket prices. I reckon if Slot stays it'll turn very sour.

The disconnect between Fan and Club is massive now, and you'd have felt that going to the game as you do.



It's already started with the Red Sox. Salah has nodded to it. It's pointing in one direction, unfortunately, and that's us slipping back into mediocrity. Klopp's not here anymore to paper the cracks.

03 May 2026 14:01:41
Ed, where is Van Dijk in all of this? Isn't the club captain supposed to help mediate the problem between the manager and senior players? Plus both are Dutch, I assume that would be a plus when problems like this happen.

{Ed001's Note - he is not a leader though, that is the problem.}

03 May 2026 14:18:44
Not sure why everyone is complaining about the clowns upstairs... The problems at LFC are the players themselves, just like so many of the Superfans have mentioned.

I mean, let's be honest, right, them players should really know better, especially when they see that they aren't training as much. It's their responsibility to keep their fitness up.

Slot should only bring in players who like to train on their own, and keep their fitness levels up.



This is the new norm... Players need to do it on their own. If they aren't up to the challenge, then goodbye.

These players, with all their high standards and expectations... blah blah blah.

Can't wait for Slot to introduce his work from home ideology on this club. He can stay in Holland whilst the players do their own training.

He doesn't even have to be on the bench for match days... Just simply manage from the comfort of his own chair at home.

03 May 2026 14:30:10
LFC8, our owners are far from perfect, don't get me wrong. We had the s*** show over furlough, which they backed down on, and, as you say, we now have the ticket price issue.

These things have a habit of resolving themselves. I certainly hope so. If we can get back to where we were, on the pitch, things will change. We both certainly hope so.

03 May 2026 14:33:57
Forget Jones. Jones wants a massive wage increase. Bleeds red lol. No one has loyalty to any one but themselves.

03 May 2026 14:43:36
JLC, I sense that your post may be laced with a touch of sarcasm. Forgive me if I'm wrong. However, your first paragraph, in relation to players, you are absolutely right, they are partly to blame. I want a change of Coach, like the majority, but most of the players need to look at themselves in the mirror, because they have let supporters down as well.

03 May 2026 14:56:56
Me? Sarcastic? You must have me confused with someone else, Rome. 😉

The players are defo at fault, but modern day footballers are spoilt little brats at the best of times.

A coach's/manager's role is to keep those players in check.

We've all seen these scenarios play out before, and literally down the road at Utd.

If players are allowed to get away with crap, and, yes, they will try and push the limits, then it's a disaster waiting to happen.

Klopp, Mourinho, Fergie, Shankly, Paisley...

None of them would have allowed the players to slack off.

Most of our issues are down to Slot and his way of doing things...

Players who have allowed their standards to drop should also take a long hard look at themselves, and decide if LFC is the place for them if that is what they have allowed themselves to become.

But this is just my opinion, some idiot bloke looking in from the outside, some idiot who, like many, could only dream of the lives these spoilt brats live....

JLC, I will let you know when you're as sarcastic as me, mate!

Our opinions aren't that much different, really. Hopefully, see you on chat later. All the best.

Lads, not trying to start up a silly string of posts but imagine if Klopp went to the Mancs instead of us back in the day. If I remember correctly Ferguson met him for dinner in New York before he joined us and tried to convince him to go to them. Imagine!!!!!!

He told why he didn't go to United. It's pretty much the owners didn't discuss the opportunity with him.

Slot needs to go with all his cronies. We need a disciplined coach who makes this current crop run harder and faster than the opposition.

Klopp didn't even reject Utd. It was his wife Queen Ulla who convinced him not to go there. The ultimate L Utd will ever receive on and off the pitch, IMO.

Mo was outspoken about the fact that he's very concerned with the standards being set at the club around training going forward. I think the fact that he said it in the context of this farewell-style video speaks volumes, as it's way off-topic and it was completely unprovoked.

Just more confirmation that there's not enough work being done behind the scenes.

It is clearly obvious that the fitness standards have dropped.
The two Hungarians, though, are like a pair of Duracell bunnies.
Is it a case of some of the players working on their own fitness levels, and some not working as hard because they are thinking, if the manager and coaches can't be bothered, why should we?

Individuals who excel when it comes to physical performance, like strength and endurance, are almost always a result of the standards they set for themselves and the work they do individually outside of the club's programming. Within any group, you will always have a few individuals who are willing to do the extra miles and really push themselves beyond whatever standards are being set.

And, vice versa, you will also have a core group who simply trust that the standards being set are sufficient. So, I wouldn't necessarily say it's a case of them not being bothered across the board, but there's certainly that element of going through the motions.

At the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the players did feel that way, Molby.

Mo spoke his mind during that outburst and is speaking his mind now. The club is drowning and he is speaking out cos he actually loves the club and is very concerned about where the club is going. The man was here when our journey started to the top, back down and then, back to the top, so he is well-versed on this. The club is failing, simple as.

His remarks were for us the fans, imo. He is asking us that we should not let the standards drop and never allow the wool to be pulled over our eyes and settle for mediocrity.



We should remain vigilant and call out nonsense when we see it, just like many of us are calling out the nonsense about this manager being kept after all the crap he has done this season. Essentially, we are rewarding bad behaviour and accepting mediocrity. Just my take.

Mo is doing now what Benitez did against those American cowboys.

We will look back at what is happening with shock and horror.

03 May 2026 14:46:55
He's only saying what we all know anyway. We all know standards in training and days off have been bad all season, or since winning league. It's the owners or staff around the training ground that should be speaking too. Slot and his staff need to go.

03 May 2026 15:02:56
The thing I worry the most is that the owners and the guys don't care what we think and what we want from our beloved club. It really does seem money is ruining the game to me. :(
