Arne Slot

[Cerbie]

I reckon he stays the season now. If a change was to be made it should have happened sooo many occasions ago! New guy would still have had a chance to instil a playing philosophy, still been in 3 comps to make progress.

Now it’s squeeze in to top 4 and potentially just 2 more CL games.

I really don’t understand this yo-yo like performances…outstanding vs Gala crap immediately the next game vs BHA.

Looking ahead either Slot gets backed again next season to add squad balance & restore harmony or a new guy to do the same…right now i’d prefer a new guy as not sure if Slot can find his last seasons mojo or good enough for this profile role.

Ultimately i want a manager in who has us fit & fighting for 90+ mins each game, plays high intensity football and let other teams worry about us, uses squad well and based on performances, utilises our youth set up.

I'm of the same opinion when it comes to our style of play and intensity. My big fear is that the players' fitness and endurance have fallen off a cliff this season, thanks to Slot's coaching. How long is it going to take to get that back?

Hopefully, it is achievable in pre-season, but with the World Cup, I doubt it.

More likely we have a season of transition, with a new manager, new squad members to bed in and a higher tempo style of play.

You only need to look at the mancs to see how a change can be uplifting.

Maybe Carrick is a tactical genius. Or maybe he does the basics right enough to get the best out of the players they have, instead of expecting the players to understand so convoluted system that is not working

That performance (or lack of) against City was entirely predictable.

FSG have procrastinated on the decision to ditch Slot and try either a new manager or an interim that should have been made at Christmas.

At that point, we had the chance to make changes to the squad, which could have affected a change in the results.

The lack of a Plan B and the fact that we are now down to the wire in both the CL and the PL mean we are risking CL qualification. If we fail, it will reduce the club's ability to entice elite managers and players.

You'd think with all their AI, stats and forecasting they would have been able to see this scenario playing out and known when to make a change.

The only ray of hope we have had since the turn of the year has been the Galatasaray game. Sadly, it looks like that was an anomaly rather than a return to an attractive, attacking style of football.

Was just thinking this morning, I’m done blaming Slot now, it’s all now on the board, fool me once and all that….

I think even if they decide to sack him now, they won't push the button until the season is over. I know that doesn't make much sense if you think Euro football is worth having, but.. just my gut feel.

I think they made that decision at Christmas. Probably because they thought the run of fixtures in the New Year presented an opportunity to catch up and consolidate a top 4 finish.

I don't really get why now, the FA Cup was surely our 3rd priority, exit was humiliating but ultimately changes nothing.

CL football was always a must and defeat against PSG given our form this season seemed likely and an exit closes off one (albeit unlikely) route.

If poor results in these 2 games are what ultimately sees Slot given the sack why not just do it in the international break to give whoever comes in a little time to orientate themselves.

For me the PL games are key and the next 3 in particular as we need to go into that following PL run of games against our rivals with some confidence, momentum and ideally a bit of breathing space.

The captain saying they gave up at 0-3 down is pretty damning though.

The spirit of the side is broken, they seem to care about as much as we all do at the moment.

And whether or not it's fair, that's a terrible reflection of the management.

Paul Joyce suggests FSG could be about to turn on Arne Slot as Liverpool face crucial period.

[PaulJoyce] Arne Slot’s latest problem: players picking and choosing moments to perform. Capitulation against Manchester City shows extent of mental fragility and how far standards have slipped - response against PSG may decide head coach’s future.

Yeah Hale Barns I thought.
Hale Village would be handy for JLA

Yeah, sorry that was what I meant
