If we lose today, we’ll have lost 47% of our matches in all competitions going back to PSG (30 matches). You cannot lose to this side at Anfield.

The defense is utter shit. 

Seriously, rip up any contract offer for Konate. Let him walk.

Gomez should be starting every game. While that goal wasn’t entirely his fault, what is he doing there? Mo is right in the ball and forcing the runner to the end line. Why is Konate dropping instead of covering for the obvious pass that’s coming 

Spent a record fee on a guy no one will give the ball to. Instead we get Kerkez wasting everyone's time trying to bomb in and it goes right to a Forest defender every time.

not when you can start the manager’s Roblox winger countryman instead..

It's so bad. Slot can fuck off with the "we don't need to buy a CB in January" talk. Yes, you most certainly fucking do. 

Any chance Slot gets sacked? This is just brutal.

Is sacking Slot going to make Konate not suck or Kerkez not be an odd fitting piece? Did Slot fail at signing Guehi? Sacking him isn't going to change the fundamental issues with players who aren't playing well at all. The strategy is bad but it's not just on him.

not getting the best out of the squad is on him. these players are going out and putting up world class performances on international duty and then immediately return and look like they have no idea where to be. it’s the exact same product week in and week out. he’s lost the fucking dressing room. this isn’t a blip when it’s over 30 fucking matches. 14 W, 2 D, 14 L going back to PSG and he got his head blown off by a side battling relegation at Anfield. this is DEFCON 1 at the moment if they don’t go on a run imminently.

Only saw the highlights but seems like Slot has lost the dressing room and/or run out of ideas. 
 

We’re like 10 straight games of putting on 7 forwards when a goal or two behind in the 65th minute. That is how a 5th grader playing FIFA coaches.

I don’t think he’s lost the dressing room. Honestly the biggest issues seem to be that Ibou makes an error every game leading to a goal early in the game which is a disaster for how we want to play and that we have an attack that simply doesn’t not fit well together. We have a #9 that relies on service and two wingers who don’t provide that. It’s why Hugo should start over Isak. Hugo creates which Mo and Gakpo simply do not.

Cant play our slow controlled buildup when we are chasing every game after the first ten mins either so then we have to panic and completely abandon our plan.

Yeah the mentality of last season is gone. They fold when scored on first. Ultimately, that's on Slot to correct but Konate is about as bad as we've seen at that position since the early struggles of Gomez. Agree on Hugo needing to start over Isak but that's not happening given the money spent. I don't blame Isak but I still wonder why he was such a priority for Slot's system and what they based the need to buy him upon. I didn't watch much of him before we got him so I plead total ignorance on that. Did they think him + Wirtz was going to be a magical pairing? It's so odd how the offense started out really well and then fell off a cliff after the window closed.

I think Wirtz in a traditional 10 with Isak at 9 would work fantastically well but we would need wingers for that.

Are the players trying to get Slot fired? 
 

Might be the stupidest handball I’ve ever seen committed

Well, at least Konate wasn't the reason we fell behind today.....

Hey look at that. We can score after being down 0-1

Kerkez and whatever right back or midfielder we play at RB are 10 miles below peak Robbo and TAA.

I legitimately don’t recognize what we’re doing out there. Just running around with no patterns of play. Players that should know where to be are AWOL. Slot with absolutely no Plan B. 
 

complete waste of a season. 

Awesome. The only player worth a damn on offense is subbing off injured.

Maybe Isak will finally show us something but probably not. 

Kerkez might be the worst addition in a long time.

Kerkez looks like he learned how to play from some 1986 college soccer VHS that he watched for the first time last week. 

Seriously, Konate should not start any more matches.

I think Slot might not make Christmas. Team looks like a bowl of spaghetti thrown against the wall. 

I was resistant to firing Slot but I'm quickly getting there. If he starts Konate against West Ham, he should be sacked.

Hm, I think I’ve heard that one…

He has to get Gomez and Andy out there. Kerkez and Konate need to sit. Mo also needs to sit. He does nothing out there. Sending the ball to him produces nothing. I love Mo but he used up all his magic last season. I get why he throws Gakpo out. He's at least trying to create something. Him, Hugo, and Szobo are the entire offense. I'd give him till Inter to right the ship. If he can't fix it he will never be able to. If you can't get right against 17th and 18th placed teams in the table, you're never going to get it right. 

Maybe we can pay them to take him off our hands. But this probably means they're going to buy Guehi and screw us even further.

What the fuck is paqueta doing there? Better check the books to see who took him to get a red. 

Can we try not to give away the game here?

Great sequence there. Szobo running it down, Gomez with the nice pass, Cody with the finish. 

Wirtz was the best player on the pitch, but that fluffed chance was bad and sort of summarizes his luck this season. Team looked better on the right-hand side without Salah, although part of that is likely because the ball is being spread out more organically instead of being force-fed to a single player on the touchline. I thought Gomez was very solid and Szobo really bolsters that side as well. Gakpo with a head-scratcher; lots of bad touches and decisions but still ends up with a goal and an assist somehow. Think Jones should slide in for either Grav or Macca on Wednesday and I’ll be interested to see what he does with the rest of his personnel decisions. I really think it would be fair to give Chiesa a shot to start one of these days, but he’s just never going to do that.

Keep flopping Sunderland. This ref will give you whatever you want. 

Of course. Defense turns to shit yet again.
