That was really impressive

I've shared this thought many times this season - but every time the drums beat louder that the dressing room is lost or whatever, the team and manager turn up and put out a performance that flies in the face of that criticism.

I've never got the sense that the manager or the players have given up. They're just not a very good team but are working towards where they want to be.

People keep talking about Slot's tactics or lack thereof. I've never understood this and the tactics looked clear enough to me.

What I have seen is an inconsistent team with new players who may not have been a perfect match with our previous DNA trying to embed the new way of playing combined with managing injuries and severe drop off of form in key players - Macca, Mo, Konate, Isak, Gakpo etc.



I'm not saying Slot should stay and am not strong either way to be fair. Looks like Alonso is on the way according to the ITKs and I'm ok with that too. Altho I'd pursue Enrique personally.

But my point has always been that Slot gets way too much blame when there have been so many other factors at play this season.

It was actually nice to watch a game where we had viable options off the bench especially in defence. VVD and Konate are still carrying a heavy load at the back so it will be nice once we get the Konate situation sorted and Leoni and Jacquet back fit.

Happy for Mo to score. He played well most of the time, gives up the ghost when tracking runners back, but he is our elder stateman so can forgive that in a game that we win. lol

PSG next.
Let's dream, why not aye?

Good 3pts badly needed. Much slicker going forward. Salah best game this season, looked like player of last season. Frimpong Rio done well, Jones actually played well until he had to come off. Ran out of steam about 65mins.

I said we'd win 2 nil on an earlier post, we couldn't get any worse n that was my logic, so much needed 3pts, need more of the same every week.

Home from the game, 2 well taken goals, thought we played ok today, struggled towards the end but overall take the 3 points and move on, tougher games to follow…. Up the reds ✊🏻 YNWA.

Struggled when Gravenberch and MacAlister were our midfield.

11 Apr 2026 21:37:27
Grav and Gomez were not great when they came on, Macca was ok but should have scored. Overall, we still look fragile but a bit better going forward, particularly Rio. Gakpo looked low on confidence, Mo and Wirtz did ok.

Part of our ongoing struggle is how to accommodate Wirtz, we don't have the right defensive midfielders behind him to provide the balance, but you can see how he could knit things together with Isak up top.



We need to iron things out in the close season. Isak and Wirtz need to gel, we need a pacy right winger to replace Mo, and a very mobile centre mid who can break up play, and a right back.

I actually think Gravenberch has been a huge issue this season. He was unbelievable last season, but this season reminds me more of Klopp's final year, signs of quality but so inconsistent, not giving the back 4 the protection they need, hasn't been rotated enough, imo too.



No surprise that 2nd half wasn't half as good as the first, to be honest, but great to get a solid performance, and most importantly 3 Pts... a rare clean sheet as well, so no complaints from me.

Now can we please just put a rare back to back good performance in please Redmen!

Arne - whatever you asked these players to do today, please just ask them to do the same thing for the last few games. See what happens when you play with pace, purpose and the press. Football not a difficult game when you play to our players' strengths.

11 Apr 2026 18:51:40
Yep, play to your strengths!

Its not rocket science but unfortunately they will burnout now

11 Apr 2026 19:00:27
Becoming sloppy because they are tiring it really isn't rocket science

11 Apr 2026 19:29:11
Better first half, disjointed second. Three points is welcome, however they're achieved at the moment.

11 Apr 2026 19:34:18
I know we just won and I'm happy, I'll take the win.

But, how has the team's fitness been messed up so much that they are on their knees by the 65th/70th minute. This is the Premier League. When teams used to play us, they used to beg for the final whistle. Now we are the ones waiting for it even when we are winning.

11 Apr 2026 18:12:38
I take it all back with the selection, change is as good as a rest it seems! Ah, to enjoy a game 🙂.

11 Apr 2026 18:19:48
Get the ball to mo quick he will score its not rocket science

11 Apr 2026 18:08:51
That Rio kids looks a talent. Is he new or has he been at the club all year. Could have done with this kids 6 months ago.

11 Apr 2026 18:06:38
We’re miles off. Well, ok, at least a yard off the pace. We can’t lay a glove on Fulham. Oh, and it’s Fulham. Shockingly bad.

11 Apr 2026 17:24:21
Finally slot selects a team I have been calling for.
Just that it should be Ekitike in for Gackpo. But it looks a solid team with legs.

Been saying ages gravy and macca are miles off and been hurting us big time.

11 Apr 2026 16:52:01
What is that line up? Slot has lost the plot.

11 Apr 2026 17:01:41
I've only said this once before. In nearly sixty years - March 2021 against Fulham at Anfield - that team has been selected to lose.

11 Apr 2026 17:11:18
It's odd, to say the least, that lack of steel we have in midfield has been weakened further and no striker, bizarre.

11 Apr 2026 17:12:49
People are so angry about the season that they've lost all objectivity.

He is Rotating where possible given that we have PSG again on Weds.

The choices make complete sense given the fixture pile up.

11 Apr 2026 17:30:25
We are still desperate for a win today, hopefully it works out. I'd sooner a bit of momentum heading into Wednesday.

11 Apr 2026 18:26:04
The game is on Tuesday, errr.
