When you made the damn decision. You have time to decide he should be benched but don't have the time, knowing how Salah is, to give him the respect to tell him?
Loyalty goes both ways.

Dutch coaches aren't breaking the habit of a lifetime to become all warm fuzzy with marshmallows guitar in hand to sing kumbaya over the campfire to let you know you aren't playing.

That maybe why Slot might soon be looking for another job. Unless he is on that Amorin stimulus.

The Dutch way thrives on conflict. Slot was probably hoping for Salah to go mentally phuck you ill show you in training levels raised. Which is what most coaches hope for when they drop a star player as a motivation tactic.

Slot is gone it's just when. The team has been broken and he's shown no way of correcting/fixing it and he's had months to do so before this all that's his real crime.

This has been my biggest issue with Slot. There's been no adjustments, no adapting...They've been going out there playing the same way and suffering the same fate every match.

How are you quantifying this tho? Checking the table from that year the teams all in the top half had more points than the current teams.

The number of international caps per player in the league. And that's my point, the top half was so much better than the rest. I'm saying this year the difference between 3-12 is gonna be a lot smaller than usual. Palace is better, Fulham is better, Brighton is about the same, Chelsea is good again, United is back in the mix, Spurs are Spurts, Sunderland and Everton are contending for Europe, Villa is contending for Europe, City is City...

Like that's half the table

And Haaland might stay healthy the whole year and arsenal may get more injuries. There's no guarantee either way. Soon they'll be playing in four competitions regularly, with no room for error. Their away form has been subpar (loses at Anfield, Villa, draw at Bridge). Truth is, arsenal has the habit of giving away points when others are (we saw it last year when city fell off).

In terms of away form these are games MOST teams lose historically. Where Arsenal have faltered and lost the title wasn't away against City or Liverpool. It was home against West Ham, away against Newcastle, home against Palace.
