Lads, straight question: was Slot really any better than Rogers? I don't want to hear this "oh he won us the league" waffle. That league win should go down against Klopp's name - end of. But the football was better under Rogers and had we not lost points to Palace at the end of that season we won have won that league.

Sorry, but I just think that is disrespectful to Slot and Klopp.
06 Jun 2026 10:55:25
First off, let us stop with the pathetic loser narrative of taking away someone's credit just cos you don't like how they fared after they were successful. Lame as hell.
And yes, he was better than BR. Slot had a chance to win a title and he won it by dog-walking the entire league and only took 6 months to wrap it up.
On the other hand, BR had a chance to win the title and bottled it vs a pretty shambolic City team cos he was too busy trying to tell everyone how smart he was rather than focus on actually doing the job of winning a league title that was ours to lose.
Oh then after he lost it, he started telling everyone how he saw himself at RM or Barca and that he thought of taking Spanish lessons. Trust me, the BR regime is not one I would like to go back to, so comparing him in any way to Slot or Klopp (they won, he bottled it) is just lazy.

You have to take the man into consideration, understand his psychology. B-rod and Slot lacked in that department. Andoni shows up differently, which counts for a lot, way beyond anything data can highlight.

Well said, Oli. ?

The football was only better under Rodgers for 6 months when he abandoned his own philosophy in favour of Bielsa ball.
People are desperate to diminish what Slot did, and it lacks class.
He won the title, not Jurgen - this is a fact. Saying Jurgen won it is nothing more than an opinion, and a tenuous one at that.
Thanks, Arne, for the 2nd league title in my lifetime, but last season was gash in comparison and you've rightly been removed from position.
Can we all just move on from bitching about Slot? He's history now, Iraola is our future.
Choose optimism and positivity, we've all got what we've craved for months.

League was given away against Chelsea under Rodgers. Against Palace, we needed to win and City to lose.
This season was a very hard watch as a plastic fan going to games, but 100% credit goes to Slot for last season's league title. Klopp is a legend, and left us in an amazing place, but he didn't pick the team and set it up for 38 league games in 24/25 season.
As bad as the football was this season, Slot leaves having won a title and gained CL football in his 2 seasons.
I wish him all the best in his future endeavours, but am glad it's not at Liverpool moving forward.

This infuriates me.
Slot's 2nd season was a disaster and he deserved to be relieved of his duties. However, his first season was incredible and he made all of the correct decisions in the Premier League and won it comfortably. Klopp had absolutely nothing to do with it. Nothing. I'm sure if you spoke to Klopp he would say exactly the same.
Rodgers was in a different era with different players.
I really don't see how you can compare it with Slot's tenure, and quite frankly, who cares?
Slot brought us number 20 and we should be thankful for that. Last season he had a lot to deal with and he did it very badly but that doesn't and shouldn't detract from his achievement.
Now we have Iraola and we all need to get behind him. End of.

Palace game was irrelevant. Unless we won something like 14-0, City were always going to be champions due to their superior goal difference. The Chelsea game, the week before, was where the league was lost.
06 Jun 2026 11:56:23
Stopped reading at "I don't wanna hear this he won us the league waffle". ?
06 Jun 2026 12:33:57
I mean yes, Slot is quite literally better than Rodgers because he won the league. Trophies have been the barometer of success since the 1800s and rightly so. Sometimes you don't need to overcomplicate things.
06 Jun 2026 12:34:37
I agree with all Oli has said.
06 Jun 2026 12:41:13
Slot won the league. Managed from start to finish. It's his league.
He was a more successful manager than Rogers and brought us a league.
I preferred watching Rogers team to what Slot produced last season.
Overall though, Slot is the better manager.
06 Jun 2026 13:23:32
What a pointless question. Different managers, different squads, different contexts. If you don't rate Slot, just say so, but don't dress it up in some random comparison.
06 Jun 2026 13:37:13
The football under Brenda was only good for one season, after he attended lectures given by Bielsa. Once we nearly won the league, his ego was even more inflated and he proceeded to abandon everything he'd learned the year before.
For all of Slot's faults, he did win us the league.
06 Jun 2026 13:39:24
One thing imfins a bit odd. When Slot was appointed, everyone said it would be difficult to replace Klopp, and getting into CL plus a decent cup run would be success for a first season. This was what happened in the second season, after winning to EPL in the first one.
Seems like if the seasons were reversed he would be regarded as a great manager now. As Bananarama said, it ain't what you do....

We only played well under Rodgers for less than a season. Most of the time, our football under him was poor. We only mostly remember the time Suarez, Sturridge, and Sterling were on fire, but once Suarez left, our football was extremely dire, and I daresay was way worse than what Slot ever had us play.
06 Jun 2026 14:24:30
Not really getting involved in the who was better debate, however 1 thing I really have an issue with is the league title we won under Slot. Yes it's his and yes he won us it, however he changed very little in the majority of that season, and the players played to Klopp's fundamentals up until Slot changed it to his tactics, and we were awful from that point on.
Yes, Slot won it for us, but he was clever enough to not rip up Klopp's hymm sheet right away, and then, when he did, that's when the wheels fell off.
Sounds like a bit of a dig at a man who won us the league, but honestly it's just the truth of how it all unfolded for him.
I do feel sorry for Slot because he had a hell of a lot to contend with during his last season with us, but ultimately he couldn't find the answers and the fall off was so severe that it was time for change no matter what.

This!!
