So, fair to say Ramsay will never see the pitch again in a Liverpool shirt, long as Arne is still the manager.

Never seen a manager routinely put down a player unpromoted, when it does not feel at all warranted. Almost personal at this point. Just say he is under consideration to play, even if you know he is not, rather than basically call him out as not being good enough in his own position, where we have a dearth of options available to us. His man management is appalling.

His treatment of Elliott and Quansah last season already raised concerns. Now, concern has moved to a significant area in need of improvement.



10 Feb 2026 13:43:37
Another reason to add to the list of why he should be shown the door.



10 Feb 2026 13:05:09
Quansah Elliott Morton Ramsay

Look it doesn't really matter what potential youngster we have he doesn't inspire at all he's stubborn and quite frankly I am
Sick of listening to him
If I was a youngster no way am I joining Liverpool while he's the manager no chance.



10 Feb 2026 13:17:15
Another reason why he must go. Compared to Kloop's work on developing young players Slot is shameful.



10 Feb 2026 13:27:44
agree Mango, he's totally out of his depth.



10 Feb 2026 13:28:21
Hey Mango.

But it was said that Slot is staying because he can bring out the best in youngsters?

I suppose Ali will play RB tomorrow with Mama in goal.

My advice to you, don't listen to this guy any more.
Its not worth the stress that it gives.



10 Feb 2026 13:31:14
Yeah, I cringed when I read the quote. We know Ramsay's probably not going to have a long Liverpool career, but to basically say "I'd rather play anyone else there" seems harsh.

The only thing I could think of to defend it was perhaps it was a linguistic mistake, and he just meant "tomorrow I yet again have to find a solution at RB", but I like to see the good in people!



10 Feb 2026 13:38:41
But Ramsey isn't good enough at the moment. We all know it.

If he wants to play it's up to him to work hard and put himself in the manager's plans. I don't agree that the manager should always protect the ego of a player. It's down to the player to prove he's good enough to play.

Football is a cut throat business if you can't handle a manager saying he's got better options and that doesn't spur you on to work harder then you shouldn't be at a top club in the first place.



10 Feb 2026 13:42:50
Not to mention Morton, who we are seeing excel out in France.



10 Feb 2026 13:50:31
Has Ramsey ever given you reason to think he is a good right back? He made very few appearances on loan at Preston/ Wigan/ Kilmarnock and didn't get a look in at LFC even when TAA/ Brad were injured under Klopp, what makes you think he would add anything to an already struggling defence? Quansah started the season last year and was hooked because he was trying to do his best cool Virg impression, but without the talent to pull it off and Harvey just isn't good enough to be anything other than a squad player, given his performances for England last summer, he rightly thought he needed a move to get a regular start.

Turns out he isn't good enough for AV either.



10 Feb 2026 13:57:40
Since he said it I haven't listened to a word he's said, I can't watch him - he gets on my nerves too much.



10 Feb 2026 14:01:08
Klopp did something similar in the season we saw Philips and Williams at the back. He kept putting midfielders back there to cover but it just weakened our midfield. When he stuck those two in results improved, even with a soft underbelly.

Slot is under pressure and clearly doesn't trust the youngsters, but I am of the opinion that's it's better to have a weak RB, then shoehorning someone else in there that just weakens somewhere else.

Throwing Ramsey and Chiesa under the bus I'm his presser will not help his case.



10 Feb 2026 14:03:23
even if a player is not good enough u don't drop them in it in public his man management is shocking and embarrassing we are Liverpool meant 2 look after ourselves ynwa man doest know what it means.



10 Feb 2026 14:03:24
He's flapping.

Poor Ramsey and Chiesa catching strays along the way.



10 Feb 2026 14:04:39
Ramsey may never be good enough, not everyone will be, that's fair enough. But why have him on the bench? Have another youngster with potential to actually play instead. Or do those youngsters now presume they are even further behind than Ramsey?



10 Feb 2026 14:04:53
100%salah me 2.



10 Feb 2026 14:17:32
Remember when we first signed Ramsey and before he got injured, he looked really good. The injury must of set him back a year. But for slot to publicly criticise him is well out of order . the minutes he gives Rio also is shocking . he might as well leave for his own good too.


1 of the worst man managers I've seen at Liverpool. Excuse after excuse that guy. Loved the spotlight last season . working with klopps team and tactics. Guys pathetic and if he stays well are back to being a Europa league team at best. Absolutely no character whatsoever.



10 Feb 2026 14:28:15
In fairness to Ramsey he's never had a bad game in the Premier League.



10 Feb 2026 14:29:48
Ramsay's hardly Phil bloody Neal, but with our options being what they are, it's surely worth trying him at this point.

What's going to go wrong? He'll make a mistake and cost us the game? We've been doing that all season without him because of how we sit off the opposition, so it hardly seems an extra risk worth talking about.



10 Feb 2026 14:36:57
Mans a tosspot.



10 Feb 2026 14:24:53
How to kill a young persons confidence with one statement. Slot was well out of order saying what he said about Ramsey he should of kept it to himself what he thought about the lad also how has his statement helped LFC to
Sell the lad if they decide to.

Anyone remember Gareth Bale at spurs they played him a left back and people said he was rubbish he was taken out the team Redknap came put him on wing and the rest was as they say history as we found to miss fortune.
The lad may just need an arm around his shoulder and a quite word to build his confidence. YNWA.



10 Feb 2026 15:00:57
FlyPelicanFly, exactly. When Slot was taking direct/ indirect pops at Chiesa early on, a lot of fans said nothing and looked the other way. I didn't. I caught that, immediately.

I knew Slot was flapping from then and clearly, he has not changed. Now, it's Ramsey's turn to be thrown in the basement.



10 Feb 2026 15:42:38
It was mentioned before than Nyoni is not happy either, due to apparent unbroken promises

This man is going to destroy the confidence in all these youngsters.

Pro football is hard enough. how can they improve if they don't play?

If they are not deemed ready to play, get them loans to teams where they are guaranteed to play. Its all about game time for the youngsters.

Generally as a club, we are hopeless at looking after the youngsters. Its basically sink or swim.



10 Feb 2026 15:44:42
Don't forget Klopp, OliRed. Slot's had a few pops at him too. His heads gone.



10 Feb 2026 15:49:34
Will he get used in the Cup match though?



10 Feb 2026 16:30:25
Winning the league when it was weak really gave him too much credit. It's even weaker this season and he's been woeful. Results aren't great but if we play well and you can say 'ahhh unlucky' I wouldn't mind so much. We're lucky to be where we are opposed to unlucky to be so low.
Awful tactician and man manager so what does he bring? We went from one of the fittest sides in the league to being gassed by 60 minutes. I'll credit him for helping win the league but the longer this continues the more it seems we won't it in spite of him.

Klopp with this squad walks the league this season and I'll die on that hill.



10 Feb 2026 15:22:08
What had Slot said about Ramsay this time?

Regards to Morton, I didn't think he had what it took to make it with us. Good to see him doing well in France.

Regards to Quansah, I'm reading that we could be exploring buying him back. I find this bizarre if true.



10 Feb 2026 15:23:33
The point is also it doesn't benefit anybody coming out to make those statements.

If he isn't good enough for the club it's hardly going to be great for his sale value when you come out and say you'd rather play the team lady than the poor lad.

Not to mention what it does to the lads confidence.

He's been on the bench a lot this season. If you don't fancy him that much he shouldn't be on the bench to begin with. Just don't include him then at all.



10 Feb 2026 15:34:58
Ramsay acquitted himself reasonably well against Palace in the cup (was one of the few who could walk away from that debacle and say he'd played ok), in my mind there's no way anyone can say he'd be any worse than either of Endo, who's too slow, or Jones, who's too braindead, at right back. For reference, back in 20/ 21 Klopp realised it was better to play two reserves in Big Nat and Williams in their natural positions and give them a decent midfield to protect them than it was to rob Peter to pay Paul and continue with midfielders at centre back, it was that decision that stopped the rot that season.

Slot ought to take note from that.



10 Feb 2026 18:03:16
How does anyone know someone isn't good enough until they've tried?
I had hoped we learnt our lesson on this as a club playing our core midfield in defence a few years back. Didn't work. Okay defenders in defence, regardless of their previous experience, and look at that, we tightened up and got a CL spot. There is literally no point in having a reserve or youth team if they are not going to be at least tried when all other options are exhausted.

That's on Slot.
Plus it's also well known that sometimes players are simply better in a competitive game than in training. Rashford prime example. He was nowhere near the first team but injuries struck and bang, he's a regular and for all his nonsense and inconsistency, he's not a bad player at all.
All of this is also asides from the the evidence. I think I have seen Ramsay play twice. Neither time do I remember him doing anything untoward.



10 Feb 2026 19:11:46
I refuse to believe Ramsay isn't good enough until I see him under another manager. That bald fraud would make prime Messi look poor.



10 Feb 2026 20:05:26
When did everyone get so soft? So Slot said the kid isn't good enough - these kids are given everything and have plenty around them constantly inflating their ego's and coddling them, and you all feel the need to rush to their defense the minute their coach says they don't have the talent.

the moment this kid makes a mistake, you'll roast him as you do with all our players.



10 Feb 2026 20:30:44
Ramsay for me played w a swagger against Palace and wasn't looking to just play the simple ball. His highlight reel from that game was very impressive. Maybe that's why Slot doesn't fancy him.



11 Feb 2026 10:27:30
Hey MKS, I wasn't going to say anything about all that mess so i'm glad you said it. Indeed, I saw what he said and the pops he had at Klopp and the club, for sure. I just let that go because trust me had I posted about it, I would have gotten banned.
