The rise of MU and fall of Villa at around the same time is crazy. And yes must win for sure today. Rio starts today and Ekitike and Salah on the bench

I said it a few weeks ago, but Man U's analytics aren't all that special, but where they are special is on the counter. They are down right lethal on the counter and that is where they score most of their goals and beat teams right now.
Villa also just collapsing before our eyes.

I'm pretty close to calling half these players garbage.
They cannot for the life of them maintain the ball and constantly do dumb stuff. I'm being hyperbolic of course but my word.

Dom is not garbage though.
Szo is unreal
Dominated the ball but didn't do much with it. Thankfully we have Dom and their GK is junk.
Very fortunate to be up

Longer this goes 1-0 the more this game ends up 1-1
Will we ever score a goal in free play again in the PL…
Too deliberate, uncreative and slow in the final 3rd. Just no juice in attack. TOT has 6 guys in the box immediately while we take our time getting there.

The fall of Villa is inevitable. Emery teams always fall apart in the spring
Zero juice in attack. I'm pretty firmly on the side that we just don't have enough quality in this team anymore. That and Wirtz needs to shoot more.
Just so many players who have been crap.
Some of that is on Slot. The regression in year 2 under him by so many is horrendous.
No arguments here, but man some of the individual play I'm watching week in and week out is shocking.
This is laughable.
No doubt. I mean this whole thing is broken. Spur are so bad an injury decimated and we are barely better than them at home.
Slot is awful with these tactics and subs
Slot is playing scared
Mac Allister couldn't keep the ball at his feet if he paid money to.
Hahahahhahahahaha
Get rid of literally everyone.
Slot is done if FSG has any stones
Slot is beyond awful. He should be gone tonight
Literally no one is playing well or doing their job right now. We're **** from the top on down.
They're about to be boo'd so bad.
They're about to be boo'd so bad.
Deserve every bit of that. No threat to score, play scared and this patty cake pass the ball around with no intention of anything.
FSG has no choice to but move on. Mentally of this club is completely gone soft

Slot is gone after this performance. Pathetic
Absolute dog **** Ekitike my god.
Im selling literally everyone from the previous era. VVD, Salah and Andy can get gone. Mac Allister, Gakpo and Jones can also pack their bags. Slot pack your bags too buddy. Goodbye.
This organization is unserious if Slot is allowed to coach longer than after the CL game.

All that money spent over the summer and can only muster a goal from a free kick at home versus a team battling relegation.
If that ain't a coaching issue, I don't know what is.

It's not that simple. Slot has been terrible this year and will get that can for it, but if you've watched us at all you'd know how incomplete and incompetent this roster of players are. They have so many holes that were brought on unbelievably poor roster management by the front office and we're seeing that in combination with a manager who is so far over his skis.
This is why I'm not purely just #SlotOut even though I do want him gone. #SlotOut fails to recognize that we have serious serious roster issues that need to be addressed, because if we don't address them it'll be even worse next year no matter who the manager is.

So you agree that coaching is an issue.
Fire the coach and fix the roster.
It is that simple.
Yeah of course. No one with eyeballs could watch us right now and say Slot is doing a bang up job. I just don't want it to be lost how bad the roster management etc. has been, and that's on the FSG front office duo of Edwards and Hughes, not Slot.
He's not the one who didn't replace Diaz, Jota or Nunez and the work that they did. He's not the one who decided to come into this season with what has amounted to four forwards, one of which is 17.
I'm not so much trying to defend Slot, but more just making sure that FSG, Edwards and Hughes are also getting a giant piece of the blame pie.

For the last few years ManU has been a parade of talent coming and going. Often times, players would leave ManU and look amazing at other clubs. Ultimately, its clear their issue wasn't the talent but rather the coaching.
Recently, we haven't sold as many players as ManU, but we can clearly see that players like Tyler Morton and Lucho are doing well in other squads. At the same time, a top level talent like Flo Wirtz is struggling to make an impact.
While I 100% agree that our roster building this year was absolutely terrible, you can also see that Slot has let the Liverpool standard slip. He has to go, there isn't any other course of action that makes sense. Following his dismissal, Edwards and Hughes immediately enter the hot seat. If our next coach also struggles, they should pay the price.

Hope there is a plan that can be executed quickly as this is starting to spiral. That was the straw that broke the camel's back, for any camels left so to speak. Szo after the match shaking his head and then a very candid interview afterwards along with loud boos and players walking off in disdain. And if you don't make CL, you don't have $$ to get the players you need and you don't have the pull to get them either. You already see where Guehi went after wanting nothing but Liverpool. Slot has to be let go for many reasons, but no one is going to come play for him now and players are going to leave that you don't want to leave.
One of the things I cannot wrap my mind around is just how poor this team is on the counter attack. Under Klopp I bet we scored on 60-70% of our counters, and under Slot it feels like 5%.
Saw a clip of the last break of the game where Ekitike picked the ball up and ran up field flanked by Salah, Chiesa and Szoboszlai, and he couldn't have played it any worse. Hung onto the ball for far to long and made the wrong pass at the end. It's situations like this that make me want to tear my hair out.
