Well, just seen on Sky. The stats say it was a very even contest. Possession and touches in opposition box were equal.


Uuuummm and that is why Slot can defend himself to the spread sheet stat squad and stays in the job until the summer.

I don’t actually see where Ekitike plays if Isak is in the middle, Isak before this season is on a different level to Eki. Eki’s role can only be a sub and cup games, absolutely nowhere near good enough on the wings. I actually rate Gakpo higher than him on the wings and Gakpo is abysmal.

His lack of fight and general effort is already concerning, he comes across as believing his hype, but can only ever deliver when the team is doing well and there’s no pressure.

Same with Wirtz, for the money spent on him, you would expect them to be the ones offering something in these games, the shining light, but as I expected of him, he’s just a nothing player. Plays ok when the team is doing well, but any kind of adversity or pressure and he just goes missing.

Slots been abysmal, but so have these big money signings or ‘once in a generation’ players as we keep hearing on here.

Once in a generation players aren’t affected by lost managers or downturn in form. They can smash a 30 yarder out of nothing, they can pull a team back from 3-0 down, they fight and drag the team forward no matter what.

We have so many overpaid, pathetically weak players, I don’t care if they are unhappy with the manager, you are a professional, act it. We have way too many players who are just expecting rather than working. I think this is actually the start of our Man U era, when they bought the likes of De light, Ugarte, Hoijlund, Yoro, Zirkzee etc.

Ekitike, Wirtz, Jaquet, Grav, all remind me of those, hyped, but don’t actually have the fight or personality to pull you out of the situations we are currently in.

Spot on Bob, glad someone's called it like it is.

Club needs a clean out.
Regardless of now or the Summer. A major clean out. Throughout the club, from top positions to throughout the squad. A rut was allowed to rot in since October. There's no balls above slot and the club and fans have lost out in what it seems a full season of football. What we've had to endure has been worse than dire because it's been allowed to continue on for far too long.
I'm not sure on Alonso of he is to come in with some of the "characters".

We have in that squad. There's real weak links in that team. Mentally and physically that have been carried. There's traits that have been fully exposed that show me they shouldn't be here.
The squad as I will repeat is not right at all. It also lacks leader's and winner's. That team was carried last season by virg and Salah. Both are finished and everyone is getting exposed for what they are.

4-0. Surely nobody is surprised at this, and nobody should be surprised that the manager is here till the last game of the season. Pure incompetence. We the fans all knew this season would be like this from November onwards (maybe not this bad).

We hoped they could all turn it round, maybe, just maybe, they need to listen to the fans a bit more. If we all knew this would happen, why didn't the people at the top who are on million pound salaries not see it? A wasted season.

Yeah, I was the idiot of the day thinking we'd win. Laughable. I'm not even surprised, I'm just glad I didn't get to watch it.

The only surprise to me, Strom, is that it took this long for many to see what a few of us were on about in October / November = Performance rather than results.
Any manager with a shred of dignity would offer their resignation after a performance like that. The players do not look interested in playing for this manager, and whilst that isn't a good look for them at all (and some of them do also need to be moved on), Slot is the man charged with getting them to produce results.

The longer it goes on, the less fondly Slot will be remembered when he does inevitably leave.

We have gone from a play to end of the game team. Regressed to a 60 minute team. Regressed again to a one half team. Now it seems we have regressed again into a 20 to 30 minute team.

At this rate we are going to be walking off the pitch when the ref blows for the game to start.



The rate of decline is alarming. This isn't form or a bad patch. This is how we are coached and set out to play.

Relegation fight next season if Slot is still manager, but there will be no fight in the team.

04 Apr 2026 14:55:59
Did we really expect anything else.

04 Apr 2026 15:38:07
Didn't expect any other result or performance. 😔

04 Apr 2026 15:52:13
Might be holding off for the Champions League as some on here say we will win that.

04 Apr 2026 14:53:05
Keeping Slot at the club until the end of the season is doing more harm than good.

04 Apr 2026 15:36:40
The club don't care to be honest.

04 Apr 2026 16:21:15
I do think they care, Frode, but if they sack him I bet he has to be paid. They know we won't win anything, and I bet in his contract there are stipulations, etc, how well he must do and then can get rid for free.

04 Apr 2026 14:47:25
Not even angry anymore, it's what we've come to expect now under Slot.

04 Apr 2026 15:38:02
I don't know what to say about that game to be fair, it's the same problems we have every game, repeated over and over again. Not clinical in the attacking third, and braindead in the defending third, we're just that bad in both boxes in critical moments. If we had gone ahead early on, it would have been a different game, but we play like we're going to get 50 chances against one of the better teams in Europe, it's just not going to happen, and then we invite their dangerous players to pick a pass in dangerous areas.

Prime Salah would have made a massive difference, as would prime Van Dijk. Both were just horrific when it counted.

Not really angry at Slot anymore per se. It is the person or persons who decided to keep him until the end of the season. I am pissed with the person or persons right now, and I think that person(s) should follow Slot out the door if he eventually gets sacked.

Tired of saying it every week but it's getting ridiculous now, he has to go, at least an interim might give us a bounce before Wednesday.
No more chances. Fans were leaving with 30 left. Enough's enough.
