It’s actually staggering how little he’s doing lately and he’s getting loads of starts. Today is more frustrating than Tuesday weirdly. Obviously a CL game is far worse to lose but we played okay and just lost to a really good team. Giving Newcastle f***ing United such an easy day is annoying. 

Agreed. I'm much more bothered by today.

Even just a bit more like ourselves would have seen us compete. Also looked like one of those games from very early on.

Needs a bit is shake up, FSG need to back their manager 

The front line needed the shake up last summer.

I know there was talk about giving Slot time to have a look at his players, but the data lads could have told him that Nunez is crap.

We played quite well in the week, this today, from the start was just an extremely bad bad, day in the office.

Yep. Could tell immediately we weren't at it and remained the case throughout.

Very strange performance 

[Swipe]

Not to give excuses but looked like a tired team against a team whose entire season was this moment.

Was the Southampton game but for both halves this time.

Deffo they were desperate to win. Whenever the camera panned on Howe in the first half it looked like he was going to be sick. That's why that weirdo joelinton was celebrating every tackle like he won the lottery the prick.

Yep, from Slot too, first time I've thought his subs weren't that well thought out or structured. 

Anyways, not trying to make this a Slot thread.

No idea what Slot has seen in Jota’s performances since about week 3 of the season to be starting him whenever he’s fit. So weak, gets bullied, sloppy, slow. Offering absolutely nothing at all, like playing with ten.

Tired of him and his injuries, would be selling him.

Yeah- still hugely disappointing but barring something unthinkable we will not remember this when we look back on this season

The only ‘natural’ alternative has zero composure in front of goal and a touch like a trampoline.

Agrees, he is also crap. You’d give Chiesa a go up there rather than either of them. Think he’s played there a fair bit? Least he brings energy and is a half decent footballer.

Can only assume the issue with Chiesa is still fitness and his ability to start games and not be goosed after 20 mins or suffer another bad knock.

Doubt we sell Jota, he is a good sub

He's s***e lad, needs sold. There's been vastly more times when he's been injured or crap than when he's been good.

I stand by my call of selling jota Diaz and Nunez this summer. 

It's Nunez and Jota for me. I really like Jota when he is fit, but the frequency of his injuries in combination of his long recovery time makes him unfit for purpose. Nunez obviously has to change scenery. Hopefully he can go to Atletico and be ace for Simeone. Diaz does actually contribute and we can't change 3 or 4 forwards in one window.
