Yeah! I think Jones is fantastic. I wish he thought he was less fantastic sometimes and though.

The argument isn’t that you can’t criticise a manager. It’s “Do you Poster A really think that if Slot had listened to you or you were in charge of this squad that you could have done better than where we are (11 points clear with 7 to go) because you would have played Endo and Harvey more at just the right points? Furthermore do you think that with you being the fyds to Slot’s Fagan, that this squad could have been guided to multiple trophy wins having lived the reality of last year and 3 years ago when we went for it and came away with nothing that we would swap this position for?” If the answer is “yes” then just state that boldly and people will draw their conclusions on Poster A’s rating of Poster A’s knowledge, ability and reality appreciation.

These f***ing dads man!

Not if he couldn’t eat and rest right

What a talent! What a waste.

We’ve literally run the “challenging for four competions” to quote Guardiola,“TWICE!!!!!” hyper mega recently. This is the the mostest efficientest use of a squad ever.

pesky slot loather

I’ll fight you if you accuse Slot of underusing the alphabet

You can’t underuse this squad to an 11 point led with 7 games to go. Who’s squad do you think we have. I wanted to have a flourish at the end and say “If anything it’s the opposite of under using” but that doesn’t work and I can’t say “He’s used the squad”. That’s rubbish. This is wrecking my head

It’s an overspill of 20 years rage of never knowing what “psl” stood for. I’m surprised I have gone all Falling Down before now

I would take this all day everyday. I really don’t want another English team to get a sniff Them over any English team that isn’t us for every year this competition exists in perpetuity please.

In Europe I don’t care when we get knocked out if we don’t win it as long as it’s not embarrassing or to an English team. You, literally you, can’t have been willing to risk a single point if our lead to have got a round further in Europe.

It doesn’t make sense if it doesn’t mean that unless we are saying that better means we lost to Newcastle in extra time or pens and got a round further in Europe.

Ha! True.

He’s not claiming that you think the whole campaign is a ‘season long failure is he? I think you are exaggerating his claim and then responding to the exaggeration. He thinks that you and others reckon Slot has got some stuff right. Things that you would give him a thumbs up for and tell him to carry on doing. He is saying that you think Slot has failed to use the squad correctly over the season because he didn’t rotate in the way that you think he should have done. That is what you are saying

He just wants to be a top fella who is loved doesn’t he. Can’t believe all the misogynistic s*** he and missus have to deal with. We’re a broken people Haha! You’re not in a clique if it’s just you Bailo.

He told Rice to kick it apparently. I hope we can get one of those fellas

I think the guy who is 11 points clear with 7 games to go knows more than you. I think there is a really good chance we would have finished outside the top eight if you were manager even if you used Harvey and Endo more. I don’t think any other manager would have this squad this far clear, if clear at all. No amount of rotating sees us winning the European cup too which seems to be the gripe unless you are chucking not winning the league cup final in there as well. Our chance of winning the league was to run our top players hot and sprint away from everyone. We’ve done the Jurgen rotate and try and win everything tactic and it hasn’t yielded the big prizes in those seasons. We are literally watching genius squad management in front of our eyes and not appreciating it because it doesn’t look like we thought it would.

Yeah they were outstanding that second half. Rice even apart from the ridiculous free kicks was really good, as was Saka, MLS and Martinelli. I feel like I’ve been dragged back into the European Cup as I now really have to focus mental energy on Arsenal not winning it. It’ll be no fun to watch until that’s confirmed.

I love that Murph is just serenely walking about two hours behind the rest of us. It’s the confidence to live life on my own terms that I want as I get older.

They’ve beaten Real Madrid 3-0. People are going to say nice things about them.

Fair enough. Maybe I am of a weaker disposition as I think we should be now to rotate against dross and then we go and chuck in those four performances v S’ton and Wolves. I’m just not willing to commit to having done anything differently when we sit with n 11 point lead with 7 to go. I think changing things would be rolling the dice with a really limited chance of the upside. This feels like we are living the upside to me. I can’t prove it and I could be wrong. I think the main thing is being in more players he really likes. That’s the key for me. I’m sure I’m not saying something that everyone else hasn’t already stated.

Absolutely. There just seems to be a lot of people confident that they would have had us in a better position than we are with the same squad. I think he has maximised what can be done with it. At the guts of it is the belief that had Slot rotated in the way Poster A believes then we would be 11 points clear with 7 to go or better, we would have beaten PSG and beaten Newcastle. Maybe Poster A. Maybe… Yes. It’s the resources that the fella needs. That’s more important than playing Endo when he doesn’t want to.
