Yeah post season winning season… maybe it’s another factor as we looked rough even earlier in that season. 7-2 against Villa springs to mind.
I think this is it in the end, Klopp found a solution, can Slot. Let’s see.
We looked ropey even before Pickford’s assault against Everton (well according to the official anyhow as I was wandering around Belem near Lisbon in the lovely sunshine). Then again they had just won the title.
Sorry. I’m cross. I’m really fed up of seeing people making kneejerk calls about sacking the manager, when we have no idea what the playing staff are going through.
I do know what its like to lose a close work mate and how impacts the work environment so pipe down and stop been a prick.

8th October 2004 still lives in the memory.
That season we were 7 points clear after beating Palace 7 nil so we weren’t that ropey.
So do I, and it was hard to go to work for a long time. That’s why I feel we are not giving them nearly enough understanding and patience.
Did you, a couple of months later, feel able to put it all behind you and crack on like nothing happened?
What happened was awful. But even if someone is of the opinion that this is a reasonable expectation for a group who went through that, there is also a reality that when things are going poorly sometimes things can spiral to a point that it is unsalvageable without a change.
We need to be adult enough to acknowledge that this is bad and the signs for why are even worse. And even if we dont want to see it result in exits, even if we think it wouldnt have got here without the tragedy of the summer, it does no good to pretend that we are not moving in a direction that puts it on the cards.
Bringing up Diogos death now is an embarrassing attempt to distract from the other stuff that is going wrong. Shouldn’t even be brought up at this point.
I’ve lost my father a few days after we lost Diogo. My boss said I can take as much time as I need. Three weeks later I’ve started working again and at least at work it feels like nothing changed. Went straight back to 100%.
So can I now switch back to third gear until Christmas and use my loss as an excuse?
Good Night.
Slot’s made a rod for his own back tonight. If you’re going to put a team like that out - basically throwing everyone under the bus - and put in a performance as inept and incipid as anything seen at Anfield in decades, and have fucking absolutely no-one of calibre to bring off the bench then you better have a pretty good plan for the weekend.
It’s virtually must win against Villa especially with Madrid and City to come. No improvement in the next 3 after more or less throwing tonight’s match then I’d expect the club to be considering replacement.
As to the Jota nonsense being spoken on here words fucking fail me.
This is why we spent all that money in the summer so we were told. This is why we shipped out Elliott and Quansah and replaced them so we were told because it gave us no benefit having players in the first team squad who didnt allow for that City like rotation.
Yeah, these comments are not good.
Who takes over, whether that be interim or permanently?
IMO it would confirm to me that we’re directionless at a level above and beyond the manager as well.
But while we are discussing why we are in this wretched run of form, we do need to acknowledge that it did happen.
Yeah, it’s almost like that’s what will happen if you give 90% of your squad the night off and pack the team and bench with teenagers.
And at work, is there an empty space where your dad used to sit that you have to look at while you’re there. Do forty thousand people sing your dad’s name twenty minutes into your working day?
Maybe you should acknowledge that the two situations are not comparable?
If that makes you feel better to focus on it but it doesn’t change anything in terms of what needs to be done if people start determining the slide is irrevocable
[and I didnt mean that in a shitty way]
We had to start running the plant 10 days later after the HSE and West Yorkshire Police finished there investigation. It was our job it wasn’t easy pasing the equipment every shift but we had to put in the maximum effort we had to fulfil orders to get paid. I couldn’t mope around control room saying im not up to it tonight.
The ‘Jota Nonsense’. Jesus. Let’s ask Mo Salah is ‘nonsense’ is the right word to use.
This isn’t a post match thread. This is about Arne Slot and his performance as Liverpool manager.
If we can’t discuss and acknowledge a monumental issue that Slot had to deal with just a few months ago in the context of his performance, then words fail me too.
And he’d also be the first moan if we had a first team squad of 30+ players.
He’s cracking the calm demeanour he showed is disappearing fast.
Any Liverpool manager who loses 6 in 7 will be under pressure. Rightly so. That’s obviously not the required standard.
It’s up to Slot to demonstrate he can fix it. If not, he should be replaced. Winning games is more important than sticking with someone out of a sense of misplaced loyalty.
He won’t be sacked yet, but he does need to get on with improving things pronto. So far, there hasn’t been any indication he knows how to fix it.
Pretending this run of form isn’t concerning is pure delusion.
