: FSG wants Arne Slot to turn things around, but on days such as this, where are the signs that anything other than a further unravelling is going to occur?
Concerned, there’s no need to be concerned, we’ll lose that one too.

Brittle Liverpool aren’t doing basics — and it could get even worse in Paris,

Slot’s cooked. The players don’t believe in him and the supporters have lost faith.
FSG might not have a manager lined up. Maybe Xabi won’t take the job until June. But they risk things deteriorating further with the players and supporters by waiting to even signal that a change is coming. At least an interim might spark some emotional lift.

It was an acerbic appraisal that carried echoes of Curtis Jones’s blunt dissection of the frailties this team possess when he declared: **“There’s times where we do play, but off the ball stuff… pfft…" I think that’s the stuff that has to change. We have to run more, have to compete.…Curtis Jones. If this is not an indictment of a coach, i dont know what is

It is, but surely an indictment of Curtis and the others also. If playing for Liverpool isn’t enough to make them ‘run/compete’ then £150k+ a week should be

: "It is hard to see how Slot turns this around now. It is tough to envisage how this loyal and understanding fan base changes their mind on him. In the eyes of many, he was already past the point of no return but this week, a loss in Manchester followed by who knows what in Paris, could seal that.

: “Slot may wear a smile on his face but he looks like a politician who knows the voters are turning against him. The walls are caving in and nothing he tries is working. Like the Prime Minister, the damage is done now and whatever he does will not win back those who have already decided his government is doomed, especially when better candidates in their eyes (no names) may be available.”
Ok, let’s make this sporting, Leonard Arne. If you can tell me why you shouldn’t be fired without using the letter E, you can keep your job.

I wrote it two weeks ago, that I don’t blame him any more. The finger must be pointed only at the people that support him and want him to finish his job. Very soon the fans will turn against FSG, who support an absolutely clueless and helpless manager. Losing against Wolves, conceding a late equalizer against the shocking Spurs, being otplayed by BHA and now this shitshow.
I don’t watch our matches since the start of the year, too much pain and sleepless nights after our horror shows.
Very soon /with Slot at the helm /there will be empty seats at Anfield and that will be the only thing that can make the Americans realize their mistake and take actions.

Budapest or bust it is, then, for Liverpool’s hopes of silverware this season and quite possibly Arne Slot’s prospects of remaining in his job, although thoughts of this team reaching a CL final appear ludicrous in light of their gutless exit from the FA Cup. So much for a shot at redemption for Liverpool and Slot as a defining period of five matches in 16 dayscommenced in humiliating fashion. No fight, no character and, unforgivably, precious little effort for the 20 minutes when Manchester City ran riot either side of the interval resulted in the heaviest defeat of Slot’s Liverpool reign. The pressure on the head coach rises again. [

Ironically, there is an arrogance in how we play football right now. There is a belief that we can control games and that the opposition don’t matter. That can work and has worked for us but that ship sailed somewhere between September and November.
I agree we have to believe in your process but at some point you just have to play the opposition - rather than with the “team ethos”, i.e. to their third and the magic will happen because we are so good.
The fact that he keep harping on about being beaten by miraculous goals, teams having their best games against us and us being ok for periods is just again arrogant. Maybe we don’t respect the opposition enough. Maybe the players and manager believe too much in their own greatness. And of course when it goes wrong, it is “this isn’t good enough”, “not enough players showed up”, etc by the players and “the miraculous goal”, etc" by the manager.
