Fu.ck off Arne Slot.

There's a real coaching issue here, how can we be so knackered at 60 minutes of EVERY GAME? I've honestly not been this depressed being a Liverpool fan and im including the Hodgson era. At least with Woy we knew we were rubbish.. Expectations were so high coming into this season and its been a absolute disaster.. and its getting worse every week.

Awful game and result. As for cut inside Cody    He did nothing to warrant even 10 minutes. Can't even go past a player.

Slot is out of his depth here and sooner hes gone the better!!

Jurgen is so obviously the answer to all our problems its untrue, we are like United a few years ago, i.e a collection of expensive players who don't work nowhere near hard enough.
Jurgen's forte is wringing every last drop out of players, getting them to work hard, getting them to play with intensity, Instead of getting Jurgen though we'll no doubt do what United did and go through about 10 managers and a ton of pain before getting it right again just because of a falling out behind the scene's or something.
To fix this you need someone who demands instant respect. The owners have got a massive decision coming up.

Gakpo -
50% pass completion
0% successful crosses
38% Ground duels won.

He was absolutely dreadful. Its no suprise that he didnt play Wednesday and we won.

Yeah we're dreadful as a collective atm but I really can't stand Gakpo, he's godawful. I never rated him in the first place but this season he's been absolutely dreadful, and to think he's one of our highest earners, only behind Salah and Virgil in wages ffs.

Rio is obvioulsy the better option and even if Chiesa had been given the same minutes Cody has been given he would have done better than him.

He has zero competition. So he can be the same level of shyte every single game, and the manager will still select him. We have nothing on the bench to replace him with. The manager doesn't trust Ngumoha. There's nothing coming through the academy either. In fact we see potential future players leave instead, like Kone-Doherty. Or Kelleher leaving because he won't accept playing second fiddle, and rightly so for him.
It's inconceivable that we - at least I personally - call for the manager to be sacked or to agree to resign after last season, but from May or thereabouts last year, we are Championship level

Our next 5 games are:

City (a)
PSG (a)
Fulham (h)
PSG (h)
Everton (a)


I think that’ll be as far as slot gets with us

I'd rather have Gerrard at this point, Arne is a nice bloke but he cant get them to work hard enough, that's clear as day now.
We are falling foul of the oldest adage and the oldest true-ism in the game - hard work beats talent if talent doesnt work hard. If you dont at least match the opposition in terms of effort and motivation you won't win sh.1t no matter how talented you are. They might actually run for Gerrard, they certainly arent running for Slot thats for sure, outworked in 90 percent of our league games this season.
Under Jurgen we topped those charts year after year, teams not just right around Britain or Europe but right around the world used to use clips of us in their coaching sessions, we were the gold standard, look at us now, walking around like a pub a team who'd been out on a bender the night before and are still half sloshed.

I'd give SG until the end of the season only. Don't think he's good enough long term

Gala match was just a rarity then, back to reality. Poor performance, not good enough.

Yeah i'd agree with that though sometimes it just clicks at a club for a certain manager sometimes there's no rhyme or reason behind it all the stars just align and it just clicks,
A lot of people would have Stevie's back at Liverpool in a way he never had at Villa or even Rangers - fans, ex players, the local press, Kenny, even Sky Sports and TNT, their studio's and commentary boxes are packed out with not just ex team mates of his but mates of his full stop.
Jurgen would be the ideal replacement, this team lacks what he brings, his forte is this teams weakness but i suspect him and Edwards fell out in the past and Edwards is John Henry's mate. We saw what happened on Wednesday when this team put a shift in, the potential in this squad is frightening but you sense you need a character as big as Jurgen to sort everything out. Arne is a nice fella but he cant get them to put a shift in.

The game vs Gala, we prolly used excess energy because we don't usually play with that sort of tenacity. 10th loss of the season and funny how we are still in a race for ucl spot.

I don't think Stevie can do anything to help tbh. I'd love it but he can't fix this mess we're in right now. Arne is not the worst manager in the world that just anyone can replace him and we'll instantly get better like it was the case with Man U. IMO recruitment has been just as bad, we signed a bunch of individuals for a lot of money instead of building a balanced team. Richard Hughes is as much at fault if not more than Slot IMO and only an exceptional manager can fix this mess we're in right now and that's Klopp.

If we get rid of Arne just for the sake of it and get some other unproven manager like that guy from Stuttgart we've been linked with then we might as well just stick with Arne.

ManUre (and Arsenal after Wenger) have basically been throwing darts hoping something would stick. The more mistakes they made the more they over reacted and spent billions between them along the way. We certainly cannot afford that and I’m hoping our owners are more disciplined and methodical.

It’s worth noting that Klopp had Salah, Firmino and Mane in their prime, I’m sure most managers could make that work. Did Klopp make those three or did those three make Klopp? Either way you look at it it’s clear that it takes stars aligning and everything to come together, and those things don’t happen too often. Throwing darts like ManUre have for the last 15 years has a very low probability of success. I don’t think Rodgers was sacked in that moment because the team could not continue with him, he was sacked because Klopp became available or was going to sign with another team. Our team with Klopp was a team of low key personalities. No one drank and most were religious, no egos in the team and they became a family under the patriarch Klopp. I think we normalized how that team just came together when it was a once a generation team. It looked easy so we thought it was easy but it was actually a rare thing.
