I don’t want us to miss out on CL football and wondering what would be the thing to do now.
Replied in the post game chat and will repeat it here because it is right!
Who ever coaches us for the last game can’t do any worse, surely!
Just listened to his aftermatch interview on talksport and he did say ‘clear and obvious’ quite a few times?
He kinda pointed out that the player who put the ball out for the corner leading to villas first goal was taken by surprise and should have done better in clearing it.
I don’t know if anyone remembers the last time the owners were present at Anfield? But if they are not there on 24th May, then what does that mean?
Not bothered?
No Support?
Ducking out before sackings/compensating?
Perhaps we should have got our former manager back when we had the chance…
Roy would have done a better job …
Arne Slot:
“We have conceded far too many goals, but we didn’t score enough goals. But two away at Villa Park is not bad."
“Overall I don’t think the players deserve what you’re saying, the players were fully in the game and fully able to get a result. But I agree after 3-1, we crumbled.”
“When we are the better team we struggle to find that goal, mainly because we are not able to create big enough chances…"
We crumbled on the 1st corner!

To explain Liverpool’s systemic coaching issue, you must understand the variety of goals they concede:
A) poor high press triggers/spacing,
B) poor pro-active closing down from the front in a mid-block,
C) losing runners in a deep block,
D) poor set piece defending,
E) poor rest defence vs counter-attacks.
In the last 3 matches vs Man Utd, Chelsea & Villa, they have shown issues in all 5 of these defensive scenarios types.
This is not one isolated defensive issue that can be easily fixed. Slot’s approach to defensive coaching is simply not adequate and it has little to do with squad composition.
At least he makes up for it with his brilliant attacking coaching.
Just stop to consider, what Klopp is feeling right now. Seeing everything he gave us in shreds.
Arne Slot on the fans:
“I can understand at this moment in time they don’t have confidence or a lot of feeling that things can be much better next season but I think they are underestimating what a transfer window can do, what a new start can do…
I think we know quite well what we have to improve. One of the things we have to improve is very very obvious, I would prefer not to talk about it here, if you miss nine players that can start a game of football and almost all of them are starters or have been for large parts of this season then if you add that then you can improve in a transfer window and add that to players that are playing in second season in the premier league. We saw the adaptation of the Premier League for a few of them… that will automatically improve…
He is right a new start can do the world of wonders.
“Just buy me a bunch of better players” isn’t a great argument.
If he’s still here next season (which I have been saying for months he will be) then it’s going to set us back so badly. A new man now has time to plan and work with the squad/new signings. Keep Slot and inevitably sack him after a few months and all of a sudden we’re looking at next summer being the catalyst rather than this one. Fuck me I’m depressed at this fucking shit show!!
It would help if he could coach the ones he’s got, then he can have new toys to play with!
It’s like a GM in the NFL drafting a rookie QB just so they can argue that they need 3 more years in the job.
What’s the guessing we miss out on CL, can’t have the summer he hopes and bemoans it after the first four games.
