Comparing Slot’s style to Klopp

Slot has been fined and got a 2 match ban by the FA.

They're taking away the passion out of the game this lot. A 2 match ban for saying a few negative words while shaking the refs hand.

And yet other bald fraud did the exact same thing to the exact same ref and NOTHING happened to him or City......... 

He's won us nothing yet. He'll get a fair crack to establish himself and he might yet bag us the title in his first season for which he should be applauded. But, I hate the style of football he's playing. Too often we've been rubbish and easily pushed about. Where's the swagger? Where's the explosive front line gone? WHERE'S OUR HEAVY METAL FOOTBALL GONE?

If we win the title then fair play, well done. If we bottle it from here then questions have to be asked. A big summer might help but we need to play a lot better than we do.

just my opinion

He also needs to use his squad players more, his too stubborn in playing and depleting the same lads. He could've given players like Elliot, Chiesa, Endo more time and others like Grav, Mc, Salah a break.

Also in 80-90% this season we always have started first halfs really poorly. Many times we've been lucky not to be few goals down by half time. I understand his going for a "balanced" approach, however I think we sometimes look a little too casual.

Next season will be Slots real test.

Since the squad doesn’t have two world class teams within it we have to over use our better players, and that has been the case through Klopp’s years also. We always seem to lose steam at this point of the season where teams like City (teams that have the money to have two great teams within their squad) hit a different gear. It’s hard to say whether we had rotated more that we would have had the same success, it’s certainly a big assumption especially how we played against Plymouth. The fact both Slot and Klopp has faced the same issues says something.

Grealish cost City over £100 million and doesn't even get a game!  Meanwhile we have had numerous passengers over the last 2-3 years placing the core 14 man squad under too great pressure..

If Salah, VVD and Trent leave who will be the long term captain? Allison may well leave also. Robertson will probably take it but he won’t be long term either. We need a long term captain.

Might end up Bunglemark’s favorite in Curtis Jones.

No one wins a league by accident - Slot will deserve all of the praise for getting us the title this year. But next season...

He'll have one hell of a job on his hands to replace key players who are getting too old or deciding to leave.

It really will be all or nothing next season.
