Is it wrong of me to think Slot isn’t as much of a despicable **** as Klopp? I think it was the teeth for me, and the way he would stare down the opposite team during warm up.

And his **** laugh.
 
I dont know what you're talking about they love us :

That sort of 'balance' is not tolerated on Rawk - you must be assimilated.

That post was quickly jumped on. The next 2 posts were:

Not sure on the numbers but I would say Arsenal have outspent City in recent times...Pep has showed that he is willing to give the kids a chance if they are good enough….I’ve no doubt they have broken the rules but these past few seasons they are a well run club.
Jesus. This post wouldn't look out of place in blue loon. Well run club
:D

Out of curiosity I had a quick scan of your post history. Over 100 posts in the last 12 months, numerous mentions of "City" yet not a single criticism.

Weird.

Dear me.
We’ve got another one.
 
They look like they might challenge for the title with the adjustment in style under slot …..early days but they are looking good so far and have a strong squad.
Yea they look very good, but again I think they'll finally run out of gas a little as they reach the final run in

And I think their lack of a natural DM will be most obvious when they come up against better teams

Slot has played 10 players in the first 3 games, and he's had essentially a full and healthy squad (unlike how we are playing the same team because so many came back to fitness late)

With the champions league games they'll have to play a stronger team more often, in the Europa they could field weaker teams

Top 3 is set though, even this early
 
I didnt think they looked that good today against a very shit united. Up until the first goal it was all knock it into the channels for the forwards to chase. The goals came from United errors and only created chances in the 2nd half cos United had 2 kids in the midfield and none of their senior players helped them out.
They are top heavy with forwards with no midfield backup if McAllister or Slobozlai gets injured.
They'll get top 4, but won't be anywhere near winning the title.
 
Joint top but haven’t played a decent team yet
My thoughts exactly. You cannot judge how well Slots team will play based on the opposition. Even today Im not sure it was because we were good or Trafford Utd were simply shit.
As others have said, the issue is the midfield. As good as Szobozslai is I do think he may burn out again. He started last season well and then lost it completely later in the year. Add in perhaps a touch of arrigance, shown by his failure to simply smash the ball when having an clear sight of goal and then wasting the chance, then I did think we need more numbers to support him and MacAllister.
I'm afraid I go into most game thinking we just simply cannot afford to drop points as City once again look like a machine.
A case of hanging onto the coattails and then seeing how we do against you lot and Arsenal.

They looked decent, but I don't see much adjustment in style - still looked like kick and rush with the main threat being getting the ball long /wide to the front three who break quickly to panic the defence. Same old, but not as good as in their pomp under klopp.

I thought their midfield looked more capable. They look a good team and may well push us.

Today was the first time I've seen them and I thought the midfield only looked good because the rags were such a shambles. I agree they will be up there though.

They’ve beaten very average opponents so far so we can’t judge them yet on these performances. Robertson and Tront look as despicable as they ever were and the defending against the rags still gave chances which I think Erling would have buried
 
I find it a much easier watch without that deranged gurning psycho patrolling the dugout and assaulting the fourth official every two minutes.

Slot actually looks reasonably normal.
They still have Robertson and TA though so lots to dislike.

Not disagreeing per se, but I would not say "average", more that they would expect to get results. They have played Brentford (at home) who will give teams a hard time with their pace and pressing, I would say that's not a given especially for a first game, then they won at Ipswich (which is a given) and then went to the Rags where they did not win last year and we all know that the rags can pull a shock off. So although they would hope to win all 3, its not a given. I really dislike the Dippers but can see them and Arse being very difficult this season.
 
They look very well organised. It is impressive they have changed their style so quickly. It is obvious that Slot knows what he is doing. Early days but they look better than Arsenal for starters.
I think the seamless transition really highlights that good players take control on the pitch. We all over egg managers including us with Pep...Statistically nearly half of goals scored come from mistakes from the opposition..crazy I know. Whilst a team can harry the opposition into mistakes (through being well organised) a lot goals come from just terrible decisions ..poor back pass, not looking over the shoulder etc...so manager don't half take a lot of credit for what their team does on the pitch. In the Tony Book era most were pretty much accepting that its the players who do the work and the managers (in the main) got paid about half of the players salary - now, for some reason, managers are superstars! Klopp made a lot of money out of that - one league win in 9 years yet he made millions and millions out of Liverpool - Modern football eh!
