Well only 8 games to go in the league and we can reassess how we go forward next season, it's been a long dull season so will be looking forward to see what happens with the team and slot in June .
04 Mar 2026 23:10:47
Plus the extra one, making it 9 games to go. ?
04 Mar 2026 23:41:23
27 points to play for, and we're only 3pts off 3rd place. Not what we all wanted at the start of the season, but you'd think we were battling against relegation the way some people are going on.
Am I happy? Of course not, but we need to look forward and get behind the team for the run-in. Lots of twists and turns still to come.
05 Mar 2026 01:45:26
Not the season we wanted, but still loads to play for.
05 Mar 2026 03:05:23
Varry Benison, excellent! With the help of God, those in the crowd that can affect Anfield, do so! Champions League next year, and we are starting again with a beast of a foundation of players. So close to what could be awesome. YNWA.

You eternally blindly optimistic types are nauseating. We are a complete mess and it's ok to be annoyed about it.
05 Mar 2026 05:28:09
To be fair, we are losing to relegation teams, and I think it's fair that some supporters are massively let down and expected more. We also started with a beast of a foundation of players this year, and that did not exactly work out. I pray we have a better season, and the only way is up, which at least is a good starting point.
It's just the 30 games odd hasn't filled me with much confidence of what is to come. I've never wanted to be more wrong, and I hope I am. That will fill me with joy.

Well we couldn't be any worse than we have been this season. Well, maybe we could, if Slot stays and decides to obsess over another team in the CL and replicate their play without the personnel to do so.
05 Mar 2026 07:39:35
Like the Liverpool of old, looking at other teams' results because we don't capitalise on our own matches. Eventually the games run out. ?
05 Mar 2026 07:58:17
So annoying to think, with the squad and the mentality we did have once upon a time, we would, at worst, challenge for the Premier League, never mind all this nonsense of only being 3 points off the top 3. Rubbish. Slot has killed this team. The utter carp on Tuesday wasn't a one off. It's terrible what he has done.
05 Mar 2026 08:19:41
Oh Varry, do behave. You've settled for crap, and now you're endorsing. No one is saying we're in relegation form, nor implying. We should be challenging with this squad. We've been very fortunate, from the drop off around us, that we're here. We are 6th, and whilst we're three off third, we're five points from eighth, and we haven't had a good 90mins all season.
05 Mar 2026 09:02:25
We are just the typical top 4/5 contender that either limps over the line come the end of the season or just misses out. We've been in this position before, and we see these types of teams every season. Teams that have mid table type results, but because there's another 2-3 teams that are just as inconsistent around them, they maintain a shot at still qualifying. I'm not sure this was quite the case during the classic top 4 era (United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool), but it began soon after, and we see it every year now. Last year it was Chelsea, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa. This year it's us, United, Chelsea and Villa. So we are going to see the same dross, unpredictable results till the end of the season. I just hope we're fortunate enough to limp over the line in 4th or 5th and just part ways with Slot under the best realistic circumstances for all parties involved.
I wish things were different, but they aren't, and I don't think Slot knows how to change it long term. Fans have a right to criticise, the self righteous eternal optimistic fans lack the logic to understand that it seems. I get the flip, in that we still have things to play for, and constant negativity is tiresome, but those analysing this season as a failure is just. I am worried about what happens long term, as I don't think any manager out there fills me with confidence that we're going to be back to our best and competitive regularly, but I guess the expectation now is that we will be under a period of transition till we get it right with the right manager, let's just hope we get lucky with the next candidate.
05 Mar 2026 09:42:32
I'm in a more zen place this morning for some reason, and as much as I don't agree with Varry or FM with a lot of what they post, I have to say they're not totally off the mark, so credit where credit is due. We are where we are now, and all the team can do for the remainder of the games left is to be strong, and hope we secure CL footie and progress as far as possible in the cup competitions. Try to ignore the performances; they're not going to change.
Try to ignore the management situation; that's not going to change. Accept that we actually are reliant on others to achieve this, and accept it's not all in our hands, unfortunately. Between now and May, all we can do is keep going, and hopefully we'll achieve something positive come June. None of us want to be where we are, and all we can do is focus on what is achievable. Let's hope AS and his team see this too. We'll return with a vengeance next season!!!. ???

BalloonCack, I find your comment that low, tbh. I like you; I have said my piece regarding the team and how poor and feckless we have been under this manager.
That does not mean we should start insulting people by calling them "nauseating" just because they are still optimistic this season and you are not.
That is bang out of order, imo.
People are allowed to be bitter, negative and eternally optimistic. That is their choice, and you can disagree with that, which gives you no right at all to call them names. Cheers, man.

OliRed, it winds me up reading people saying what is essentially "look on the brightside" or "let's go again next year". It's nonsense, mate, and requires no thought, and even worse it harms the club because the people causing the issues get absolved of responsibility if the sentiment gains traction among the fanbase.
Support the club by all means, but let's call a spade a spade here. From the contracts and squad negligence over many years now (including how we've dealt with transfers), to upper management burying heads in the sand over shockingly bad results and play, i.e.
hoping we scrape over the line to get CL in spite of Arne. It's just ridiculous. Not going to list all the issues because they're already out there for people to read, but would anyone have guessed we have the highest wage bill in the league as one example? Blows my mind considering we don't even have a proper squad, with key players not replaced. Who stays in a prem job after so many losses and poor performances? The club is a laughing stock and looks clueless. So no thanks to your platitudes.
05 Mar 2026 13:09:54
@Balloon, I get all your points. Honestly, I do, because I agree with the majority of them. It's okay to hold these views, for sure. I just think we can hold all these views, while at the same time being respectful of those who choose to look on the bright side of things, even though, at times, it can be "nauseating".
That's all I'm saying. I am not attacking you personally, nor in any way. I just think it was the wrong choice of comment/response to the other guys looking on the bright side. Just an opinion.
05 Mar 2026 17:43:06
Is that highest wage bill not based on last season's accounts, when we would have paid out bonuses for winning the league under Slot? Just saying.
