"I'm not saying we deserve to be right up there with Arsenal. Not at all, but I can safely and fairly say we deserved more. In a normal world we would have had six, eight, nine points more – I'm talking about the late goals we've conceded. " Arne Slot.
This growing tendency to shirk responsibility and deflect from possible blame, is really becoming annoying. Who's responsible for late game substitutions and late game tactics? Who's responsible for ensuring there's a bench capable of helping out when needed (why not an U21 instead of a second goalie? ) . Someone tell this guy to stand behind his players, so that they play for him. Wake up, Einstein.

100% ArAy, if we'd play to actually win we'd have more points…. however we see then need to get 500 passes per game, sidewises and backwards mostly.
09 Jan 2026 09:23:34
ArAy1969, and this is the main reason I want him gone. Nothing is ever his fault and from that moment on (like it was with BR), I want him out of my club.
09 Jan 2026 09:25:57
His excuses have certainly become tiresome.
09 Jan 2026 09:38:42
We certainly should be right up there.
But we also certainly don't deserve to be.
We have been awful all season and much of last.
Not a single shot on target last night. Games and points are won with goals, not how many times you recycle possession.

F*ck me, this seems to have turned into a bluenose/ manc site where all they do is moan. Yeah, bad patch, injuries, not much luck. Get a grip. Stop the pathetic whining and playing into the hands of those who would characterise us as moaning scousers. The team will come through this - where's your optimism gone?
09 Jan 2026 09:48:59
He should quit with the unbalanced nonsense.
09 Jan 2026 09:53:47
From what moment on, OliRed?
And I thought you were over him being here til next season, at least.
It doesn't sound like it.
It's boring to watch and I always prefer a more conservative way of playing but I'd sooner be unbeaten in ten than losing nine out of twelve.
Things might improve when we get some of our attacking players (Ekitike, Isak, Salah) back, too.
09 Jan 2026 09:55:48
"My club"? What constitutes "my club". I apologise if you're a shareholder.
09 Jan 2026 10:08:38
Slot can't moan about conceding late goals when we won with very late goals earlier in the season. Maybe if we defended better it wouldn't happen.
09 Jan 2026 10:10:11
My head is in my hands. We might improve? We equally might get worse by that logic.
What has Slot done this season to show that he is amenable to change? Nothing. After being so quick to spot a weakness and make a change for improvement, he has regressed.
Yes, we may be unbeaten but when we draw, we are more often than not dropping points to Arsenal.
As for his tendency to blame everyone but himself, he sounds more like a Tory MP than a Liverpool manager.

I'm Spartacus and it's my club.
09 Jan 2026 10:18:06
I think we are where we deserve to be…. should we have performed to our potential we should be right on the coat tails of Arsenal and challenging for another title and not cut adrift. This is why we're all so annoyed, oh and because the football is about as exciting as watching paint dry!
09 Jan 2026 10:47:09
I know sometimes you don't want to interrupt the rhythm of a team but last night, with a squad that have been knackered lately, Slot was quite content to go the whole match without making a single sub.
Arsenal brought on all five.
Gomez, Chiesa and Rio could all have helped but he wasn't going to use them till he was forced to. That isn't normal.
09 Jan 2026 10:56:22
That's fair enough, StEtienneAmen.
Ekitike, Isak and Salah returning might make us worse and even less of an attacking threat. We just don't know and that's what makes sport so special.
It's the same with sacking Slot. It could make us even weaker and we don't know who would replace him anyway.
And you don't think Slot has changed anything this season? We were wide open, conceding loads of goals and lose nine out of twelve games.
He dropped one of the biggest - maybe biggest- names at the club, used an extra midfielder and we started to concede fewer goals and have been unbeaten since.
You might not like it but you can't say Slot hasn't changed anything.
09 Jan 2026 11:13:24
Fully agree, if anything we deserve less, we are very, very lucky to be sitting in 4th. It's been a poor season overall, in previous years we'd be sitting 7th with our current tally. The table's very tight, 2 bad results and we'll be fighting to stay top half.
Hopefully Slot's just saying this nonsense for the sake of the media and doesn't actually believe it, he can't be that dim, can he?!
09 Jan 2026 11:54:37
The league in general is getting worse…less talent, hardly any kids coming through, too many foreign coaches bringing different styles which are rubbish. Boring football. Var and corruption. Hoping the game comes back to be enjoyable.

I think once you watch 10 illegal streaming highlights of a club anywhere in the world you get a 'My Club' badge and can announce it officially to anyone who will listen.

That made me laugh out loud @JK - thank you, first real laugh on here for quite a while ??.
