    I’m not sure I see Szoboszlai as a number 10. Not like a Maddison, Odergaard, De Bruyne, old school Coutinho type. 
     

    He doesn’t seem to have the top level creativity to play that role. 

    If we didn't think he was that sort of player then we just bought him for a lot of money to be a midfield donkey and that would be bizarre.

    A key thing for me now is whether Trent and other high profile players look at what they’ve already achieved in the game and then look at Slot and think they know more than him and don’t have the required respect. 


    Recent performances are giving me a real sense of foreboding in that regard. 

    With Klopp, he found a balance with giving him some freedoms and also Trent's long passing has always been key to playing really quick, direct football.

     

    Guardiola would have bombed Trent out, I have no doubt about that. He wouldn't stand for someone who can weaken the structure of the team just because they can provide an assist at any moment. 

     

    I don't know what sort of coach Slot is, but there are coaches who won't be arsed about finding a way to make someone like Trent happy. And then also, he could simply decide to leave, as said above.

    Maybe. Would he work in midfield ahead of Bradley?

     

    A lot of big decisions to be made. I genuinely fear about the authority, or lack of it, that Slot may have our ‘big’ players, who haven’t played like ‘big’ players lately anyway.

     

    He's a top, top player who can effect any game but the way he jogs around a lot of the time doesn't suit any position.

     

    He has a choice, really. His contract situation means he could force himself out if he wants. Maybe that's what he should do. Maybe I don't know him enough, but he strikes me as the sort of player who will become lazier and lazier if he stays in a comfort zone. Alternatively, maybe the new manager is what he needs.

    Reckon you could cobble together an off brand replica of Mane/Salah and Firmino from the lower half of the prem/championship that would look more functional.

    That is ultimately the problem. We have to form a coherent attack around the prime age morons we have but it's hard because they are morons. The last 2 years it's been mostly Salah and Darwin exchanging passes to eachother, Diaz running down blind alleys and the other 2 score off the bench sometimes. There's been no attempt at building anything except to have 5 players that can threaten the goal, so sometimes they will tire other teams out.

     

    The ones we keep, we have to get profiles that complement them and actually build something.

  5. It's funny when everyone wants to get rid I have to say he should probably stay, but I think he should probably stay. 

     

    Salah is already going (hopefully) so we'll be changing something anyway and I just don't think we should sell low here.

     

    Of course, if it happens he wants to go, he can for sure fuck off.

  6. Unless he does us a favour and force himself out, he is staying. You can't literally sell everybody and Salah is really the one that we have to sell because we are in a position to do so with his contract.

     

    We have to hope he stops having two left feet.

  7. Know the players have all turned to cunts, but at least don't ruin everything and still finish top 4, please. Find it in your hearts to do that.

     

    We're going to have to take our medicine with Nunez and Diaz, unless Slot hates them or they want to go. Bigger thing is letting Salah and Robertson go, plus Endo.

    We will win here. They’ve done all they can. The one player that’s doing my head in is Szobozlai he’s offering zero get Elliot on or Endo

    I hope you get to quote this later to make fun of me, but there is literally no chance of that with your boy out there missing everything.
