As a former Tower controller, I do wonder what I might have said to a pilot with decreasing ground speed (well below what one would have previously seen or might reasonably expect at that stage of flight).
I believe this has been mentioned earlier, however it assumes that you have little else to do other than physically watch ever single arrival. Surely at an airfield such as EHAM this is just not feasable.

Out of interest what would have you said? , bearing in mind it may further confuse an already confused and disorientated cockpit.
