I'm going to put it out there.
We don't get 60 points this season.
03 Mar 2026 23:14:52
You may be right. I can see five draws, a couple of wins, a couple of losses.

Season was over months ago. We could've saved it in November by changing the manager and using January as a tool.
But for some reason we just abandoned everything.
When the board isn't bothered and just writes a season off, it's hard to put any energy into it as fans. It's unfortunate, but here we are.

Helpful. We will get 60 points and we could still qualify for the CL. We could still win the FA Cup and/or the Champions League.
However, disappointed we are tonight, we can still achieve all of those things.
Personally, I believe there have been too many of these defeats for Slot to continue, but we certainly have the players.
Once again tonight, when we need a goal, he takes a CB off for Chiesa and moves a midfield player to right back. It's his go-to move, but it never, ever works. Yet he still keeps doing it regardless and, hey presto, as if by magic, we concede another injury-time goal to lose the game.
I don't mind Slot as a person, and I don't think he makes excuses like some of you seem to think.
Klopp going on about wind and Saturday lunchtime kick-offs is excuses. Slot has never done that.
However, he needs to go. The midfielder-to-RB thing is infuriating. Sure, try it, but when it doesn't work, don't keep doing it. What are you expecting to happen?
He's also taken the best 6 in the league out of his best position and taken Macca out of his best position, which has completely unbalanced the midfield. Again, try it by all means, but when it doesn't work, don't keep doing it.
Enough is enough. Slot was great last season, but we can't allow this to continue. The players need a new voice and some fresh ideas and motivation.

I hate to burst your bubble, but there is no way Liverpool wins the CL this season. It's not happening.
I predict we will achieve 60-61 points maximum in the league too, and that's if we win our home games, which is also not guaranteed.
Slot is on borrowed time, and the players know it.
Gakpo, Salah and VVD are either past it or just below standard.

You can't burst my bubble, Hughes. You are entitled to your opinion, and that's fine. I just don't agree with you.
I'm not one to admit defeat in anything I do, so the very idea of saying we can't do this or we can't do that just isn't in my thinking. There's no point to it.
It helps no one, including yourself. I realise, for some, it's a defence mechanism. If you expect the worst, you'll never be disappointed, but I just can't think that way. I'd much rather be positive and risk disappointment. Life is much more exciting that way.

VB, I respect your positivity.
I hope the positive vibes you have pay off, mate, but I'm old and sometimes wise, and I see a team that's not playing for the manager, and has numerous stars who have regressed.
Stay excited, man. ?

Varry Benison, At this stage it's just embarrassing to be talking like that, pal. It's one thing to be supportive, but delusion is a whole other kettle of fish. You think we're going to win the Champions League and the FA Cup when we can't beat the worst team in the league?
Slot literally used the wind as an excuse only a few weeks ago, pal. We've never had a manager use so many pressers as an opportunity to delve out excuses before. It's unprecedented. That's not even up for debate. Long balls, fixture congestion, fitness, fatigue, injuries, new signings, penalty/free kick bias, biased refereeing, luck and the legendary low block.
Not to mention the absolute worldies like "goals just seem to go in easier in our end", "the only way to beat a low block is with a moment of magic" and the 2024 quote of the season, "I prefer to play against a low block as you have the ball a lot and the other team are far from your goal".
You're well entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't make it a logical one.

Remaking fixtures are tough. I can only see 4 - 6 points at best on current form. Man Utd, Everton, Palace and Chelsea all beat us if we insist on playing sloth ball. Fulham, Brentford, Villa and Brighton are draws, maybe one win. That would leave us on 55 points and probably in 7th or 8th position. Now caveat that with Gerrard in charge for the last games and maybe we get 12 points; that gets CL.
These players do not need coaching; they need leadership. Gerrard will give them that, if nothing else. You want CL football, change the manager. I really don't want anyone to lose their job, but we need a change, especially if we want CL.
04 Mar 2026 06:56:18
Win the CL haahahahahaha. Can I have what you're having.
04 Mar 2026 08:30:27
I agree with all of Frode's posts over the last few hours, so there's no need for me to say anything else. Thanks, Frode!

I would never give up on the side. Klopp taught us that. However, Slot seems to have bred that out of the side. That never-die attitude seems to have gone.
