RAWK Goes Into Lockdown 25/26 Shieldless Edition - £500m down the drain, the champions have dropped points again!

Team Deluded:
This football club is not a 'football club' or 'business'. It is - in the (non-verbatim) words of Shankly - an institution that serves a huge community of people, human beings. It is a club BY the people FOR the people. Whoever runs the 'business' is irrelevant. Those running the 'business' are *custodians* of an ethos, of a spirit of the people of Liverpool and now globally.

No amount of words or reasons or whatever coming out of Salah's mouth will ever change that. Slot has been going through the motions, he's under massive pressure, and maybe some fans will disagree about how "he's

From the Slot Thread:

I’ve lost confidence in Slot now. I do not think any credible progress or improvement is being made

A week ago, I still felt he had enough credit in the bank to warrant more time after winning the league. Now, I’m genuinely not sure anymore.. The football is appalling, and there’s been absolutely no indication that he can turn this around. There have been no improvements in the way we approach the final third. Anfield being a fortress also feels like a lifetime ago and it’s baffling that we were content to be so passive and ponderous, giving Sunderland all the time in the world at home.

Not only have we lost our identity as a football team, we've lost the spirit and competitiveness that make the sport worth watching in the first place. What's the point of football if we're going to serve up something so boring, timid and utterly joyless? It is an insult to the fans to persist with this brand of football.

Didn’t watch the game tonight but it sounds like it compounded everything. A fine enough win against the second worst team in the league. But I just don’t think he’s got it in him to turn this around, and it really pains me to say that. This squad is at least the second best in the league. And we’re on an unholy run.

I want Slot gone, because our attacking play is pathetic, with the most talented bunch of players we probably ever had (cumulatively).

Add to that his treatment of some players is dreadful. Chiesa has fought for his life every game and never gets to start. Endo might not be Caicedo level DM, but we need a destroyer and he never gets a chance.
Ekitike is just being left out every game now.
And then he claims Salah was benched due to too many matches, while Gakpo starts every match. (I would have benched both and tested Ekitike AND Isak upfront).

Look I don't fecking care anymore, you'se win. It's incredibly clear the vast majority here and in Anfield have completely lost faith, a good portion seem to actively dislike him in general as well, so let's give the fans what they want.

Let's get rid of him, get whoever fecking cares in and if they don't work get someone else in 6 to 12 months time

Try and put a good show in and we might finish 8th with the new guy

It would probably be significantly better for my mental health if I forget about football honestly. Either that or I'll basically have nothing and no joy in my life, just living day to day going through the motions. But I quite honestly hate everything about football, and the one thing I do like is changing before me into something I don't enjoy, and I don't see a good future, I see things getting worse, becoming something worse. So may as well give it up.

The scary thing is we look so badly coached. Even some of the teams that are not even good to watch in the PL you can still understand what they are trying to do. With us it's a mystery. Sometimes we don't press at all. Sometimes two press. Sometimes only one presses and invariably looks around to see where are his team mates. What are we trying to do in attack? Why are we so slow to get forward? feck knows, but it's not working.

He hasn’t got it in him to take this team to the next level it seems. Got thoroughbreds doing donkey runs on Blackpool beach. Hasn’t got a clue on how to put a team out there from this group of players and can’t see it lasting long. It’s a damn shame to be honest. But it’s where we are.

“It is clear that teams who play us think they can get a result” . Well Arne, why is that?

We have very talented players who all seem at sea right now."

The definitive oxymoron.

Arne Slot:

“This season far too many times we don’t concede a lot of chances but a few we do concede they go in. Unfortunately we are creating more than we concede [chances] but the end result has been far too many times we lose a game of football. We weren’t lucky enough to get the win over the line. This game today we have lost in recent weeks so that’s a positive to take.”

What they feck do people want him to say. He said it wasn't good but better than last week, it was.

You want him to shoot himself on air? Cut off his little finger and offer it to the fans as an apology? Sit down in tears saying how awful a person he is? Like what else do you want him to say other than it's bad but better than a week ago, which it was

Pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, repeat x30, put ball out for goal kick.

“If you were to ask me to name three geniuses, I probably wouldn't say Einstein, Newton... you know. I'd go: Paisley, Klopp, Dalglish… Hodgson.”

“The bosses are going oh cut back, lose staff, you know, that’s the way forward… does a struggling salesman turn up on a bicycle?? No he turns up in a newer car. Perception…

Doesn’t mean I have to do my own filing.”

Slots the only manager who wants opposition manager to text him his line-up.

Long it may continue, he deserves another year after his fantastic league win.
 
"in the (non-verbatim) words of Shankly"

Brilliant. So, to put it more clearly - not in the words of Shankly.

Anything happening over there? Appreciate didn’t get beat but didn’t play well and could easily have lost.
