Last thoughts:
* Mo was really on it today. Brilliant first touches and caused loads of problems, even against a packed back 5
* Lucho has been the engine of the offense for about a month now. He doesn't score enough for some people's liking, but he is wonderfully direct. I think his vision has improved under Slot.
* Don't know why Slot won't give Elliot more looks.
* Bradley is both a fantastic defender, not afraid to lay a physical challenge on someone, but also great going forward.
@mlawton Conor is the new Trent. Timely too. He did not only go forward, he aimed on target as well.
@vruz I thought he was scoring on that rip that just took a slight deflection to push it just wide.
@mlawton Thoughts from yesterday:
Jota can't lead the line.
The midfield misses Trent.
Taking Tsimikas off made no sense.
Endo should have come on much earlier.
Did we drop too deep and give West Ham too much space in midfield?
While it is a bit much to criticise, it feels like Slot has not used the squad well this season.

@ReCyclist Perhaps Tsimikas is on managed minutes and I missed the injury?
The midfield rotation is probably the only place I would possibly find fault in Slot on the season. Gravenberch and Mac Allister look to be pretty exhausted. They should be preferred, but he should trust more in Endo and Elliott.
Normally, I think Slot nails the substitutions and so I think it was especially noticeable yesterday that they all seemed to miss the mark... and badly.
@mlawton I get that Slot doesn't like Nunez, but (wherever he was yesterday) he could have been used more this season. Jota lacked the physical strength to worry PSG and dropping Nunez back to the bench for the home leg straight after he scored and won a penalty at Soton looked like a mistake even before the KO.
Can't see all the transfer work that looks needed can be done in one window, be very interesting to see how that pans out.
