Obviously the league has gone now so top 4 is a must and hopefully some sort of run in the champions league so I think we need to act fast this squad is full of talented players but Slot has proven he is not the man for the job.
The dream for me would be Klopp to come back on a 3 year deal with Gerrard has his number 2 to learn his trade under Klopp and be the long term replacement and Klopp could then take over Germany for the next World Cup what am sure he wants at some point.
{Ed025's Note - that was going well until you mentioned Gerrard Grino, then it all came tumbling down mate..

Morning Ed025. I'm with you regards to Gerrard. He's been mentioned on here a few times the last few days. What's this obsession with appointing ex players? None of the current players have any connection with him, and since he stopped playing every job he's taken he's been a disaster. Utter tosh to mention his name as a solution to our current problems.
{Ed025's Note - i think so too Rome, we have talked about square pegs in round holes and hes probably the squarest of pegs out there mate..

Morning Barry. I hope your day wasn't ruined too much by the result.

You have to move on not move back. Klopp had his time but that is in the past. I for one would hate to see Klopp come back. I adore the guy but I expect it would cause more problems than in solved particularly around the relationships of the manager with Hughes and Edwards and the weight of expectation that it would create. Gerrard has shown that he will never be the level required to manage Liverpool. I'd welcome him back as a coach but he should never be in the clubs plans no matter how long term they are.
I think Slot needs to go but unbelievably I don't think that it looks very likely. He has clearly lost the dressing room and the players are no longer putting in the effort for him and they don't know what they are supposed to be doing half of the time. There is just no confidence and the team is so fragile. We were fairly good for half an hour on Saturday but as soon as the first goal went in we crumbled.
Defensively we have been poor all season but Konate is played week-in, week-out despite playing like a pub-team player (even when we were winning games) but this has now spread to the midfield. The pressure on Grav caused by the defence and lack of support in midfield has crushed him and he looks a shadow of himself, Macca has been a joke and Dom (our only consistently decent midfielder) keeps being taken out of the midfield to play RB whilst 2 players who regularly play RB watch on from the bench. As a result our attacking players are getting next to no service and chances being created are becoming few and far between. There is also no respite. Salah used to relieve the pressure by staying up and being a constant threat but he hasn't looked dangerous all season. This is nothing to do with the new players, it is the system that isn't working.
We are watching the same tactics and same formation fail week after week in the PL with no signs of Slot even attempting to change anything. We will probably win on Wednesday as it is more suited to Europe and as a result it will falsely justify the setup and Slot will try it again (and no doubt lose again) in the Prem next week.
As Einstein famously said "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. "
If Slot wants to stay I want to see him try something different to stop this rot. If not, he needs to jog on before it becomes terminal for our season.
Sorry for the rant but I needed to get some of my frustration out.

We need to stop talking about Klopp. he ain't coming back, he's done his time. we need to stop dreaming of his 2nd coming. move on with someone new. someone mentioned Flick yesterday. I don't really want him as I've seen how his defence play the line. maybe he'd change that if he came here ?my choice would be Ireola. let's see how things play out.

I love Gerrard, absolute perfect midfield player in my opinion…. but he is not good enough manager for LFC, simple as that.

I like the idea of SG coming in as an assistant, I agree he’s not of the quality to be considered as a long term successor or manager. If I remember rightly he was doing ok in the academy, I think he should have continued with moving through the ranks and learning what he can rather than jumping at a big job so early on. I think we need someone to come in with a bit of fire about them and a passion for the club, slot just doesn’t seem to have that about him.
Slot doesn’t need three more versions of himself sitting besides him, with his ideas going into an echo chamber as such.
Just for fun, there’s a few of our old players learning their trade in the coaching world now, if we could bring one back in as an assistant who would you pick.

Hopefully slot can sort himself and the team out. But if any ex players where to come back I’d prefer milly and hendo I think they would make good coaches as for SG maybe youth team coach.

It’s not just ibou, salah needs dropping his lack of defending/ pressing makes the right side weak imo.
24 Nov 2025 13:23:00
Gerrard would do a better job than any of you on here that’s for sure.
