I fully understand Liverpool are not seen as a sacking club, but as hogan said in the summer "we are one of the biggest clubs in the world and want to act like it". Any manager who performed as badly as this in any profession would of been out the door by now, so time to cast aside this pretence we don't sack managers and start acting like a big club, make a decision and get this fraud of a manager off the pay role.

If they were going to sack him Slot then they should have sacked him during the 9 defeats from 12 run. I see why people scoff at a 12 game unbeaten run with 6 draws in there but them results on their own are far from sackable ones. We were never going to play scintillating football while getting results after that horrendous run.

we had to tighten up as we were shipping goals galore. Suppose my point is if he's sacked now it would be more because of results from 2 or 3 months ago than now, even if a lot of fans still aren't happy with results now. if that makes sense?.

17 Jan 2026 23:34:25
Sack Arteta he's just drawn 2 in a row without scoring a goal! Hardly title winning form is it?

And Pep too, he's just drawn 3 and lost 1 in his last 4.

We do tend to get caught up in Liverpool FC and what's going on there (and rightly so) but the fact is without that bad run we'd be right up there because none of the other teams are setting the league alight either. My point is the last 12 games are not why we are 4th and had we had that same form all season we'd be challenging for the title.

It's a funny old game.

We've played 26 games, not 12, he's judged on his performance throughout the season, and so far it's been very poor, 6 wins out of 12 doesn't even begin to make up for only 36 out of a possible 66 points. It's time for the Slot sympathisers to pack it in.

18 Jan 2026 01:14:24
Yes chewy but i get what Sean is saying, the time to sack him was then, not now.

18 Jan 2026 02:47:56
Musiala guy just loves to talk some bollox. We're playing some shocking football. The defeat to Forest and PSV should have been the nail in the coffin. Burnley are 19th and we struggled against them more than Arsenal.

As another guy said, he's judged on the whole season so far. We've been terrible even in this unbeaten run. So yes it would be based off our form lately also.

18 Jan 2026 08:01:51
Either way, now is the time to change - it allows Alonso to assess the squad and plan for the summer - VVD, Salah, Konate, Endo and possibly others in first team need replacing - start planning now with the new manger in place - otherwise the summer could be an absolute washout!

18 Jan 2026 09:50:15
Everyone accepts that Roy Hodgson was a dreadful manager. His managerial reign included 20 league games which we only won 7 and averaged 1.25 points per game. The last 20 league matches under Slot we've only won 8 and averaged 1.5 points which is very close to that. If Hodgson had to go for that kind of p. poor form, then so does Slot., .

17 Jan 2026 21:05:03
At least everyone will be splurging how great Man U are and hopefully our sh**e performance will go under the radar, thank Jesus spurs are worse than us.

17 Jan 2026 20:41:31
Not sure how much more of these dire performances I can take. Someone, somewhere give me some hope.

17 Jan 2026 20:37:42
Sack that moronic idiot as soon as possible.

18 Jan 2026 01:14:35
What? are you crazy? we haven't lost in ages!

I shouldn't even joke, it's doing my head in - it's been annoying for a while but now it's infuriating. Plus side is - fans at the ground are slowly turning on him. None of us wanted it this way but at the end of the day none of us expected Slot to be so sh*te.

Give him his payout and be done with him. I need to see Wirtz and Alonso reunited again, it can't come quick enough.

18 Jan 2026 09:49:47
And it would cost us less than signing Guehi.

17 Jan 2026 19:53:33
Is it true since 2017 the only centre back signings have been Davies, Sepp, Konate and Leoni.

18 Jan 2026 01:17:43
I mean other than the obvious VVD, the only other one was Kabak on loan.
Probably some youngsters under the radar though as well.

17 Jan 2026 19:08:26
Someone please tell me he's gone…. please.

17 Jan 2026 18:35:05
18 points from the last 17 games. 51 points max. Time to go.

17 Jan 2026 18:32:39
Do not be surprised if Slot goes tonight or tomorrow. There is so much discontent now it is becoming hard to believe the board cannot hear it. When podcasts that have hundreds of thousands of listeners which usually support the manager now openly ask for him to go and are campaigning for it, its over.

He's lost the last of his fan support. He's a lame duck. He will go by the next CL game.

17 Jan 2026 19:00:44
KK -He won't be gone tonight or tomorrow!

Lose on Tuesday and the pressure cranks up another notch though ( wouldn't be suprised if we get a result )

Regardless of Slot in or out that first eleven staring today should have had more than enough to turn a shockingly bad Burnley team over - I think it was Rome who said earlier that players are miles off it and it's not Arne missing chances or misplacing a pass or not going in for a 50/ 50! That's down to the players!
I've been on the fence with Slot - if he goes now I won't lose any sleep but there are players in that squad who've let the club down so far this season!
Top 4 will be a battle and new manager bounces with other clubs could be a big difference come end of season!

17 Jan 2026 19:10:50
I've heard it all, now. Podcasts. Really, who the f and h cares about podcasts. There were boos at the end of the game, that's what matters.

17 Jan 2026 19:41:11
He;s not going, as much as we all want it.

If they were going to actively sacked him they would have already done it.

17 Jan 2026 20:29:52
Thats where i've been all season Bristol. i can well see peoples gripe with Slot of course i can. Results have not been good enough. I just wish people seen that a lot of the players should really have a long hard look at themselves for their performances this season.

17 Jan 2026 23:44:26
I can't believe we have stooped to booing our own team. It's absolutely disgraceful.

We call ourselves the best fans in the world but in truth we are no better than any others. We want success and we want it now and if we don't get it we will stamp our feet until we do.

The problem is, booing your own players is a sure fire way to zero success. Who are we? Spurs? You're asking these players to run through walls for you and then booing them off the pitch if it doesn't go your way?

Nice one, well done guys I hope you're proud of yourselves.

17 Jan 2026 23:44:33
Florian Musiala - And when the entire squad bar 3 players is poor for a whole season, anyone with 2 and half brain cells can ascertain that there must be a common denominator.

18 Jan 2026 01:18:24
Whos the 3 players chewy?

17 Jan 2026 17:59:13
This nonsense has to stop that it's acceptable.

17 Jan 2026 17:52:17
IMO top 4 is now at real
Risk if Man U play like that for the rest of the season and we carry of with the bake bean in charge! It's pathetic! He's got to go simple as! Absolutely sick to the teeth of watching this now!

17 Jan 2026 23:49:34
Not an opinion, it's a fact. 16 games to go and the tables so tight 1 loss could see us drop to 8th.

17 Jan 2026 17:31:28
After 22 games last season we were on 53 points. This is some drop off whichever way you look at it.

17 Jan 2026 17:54:11
But were we unbeaten in 12 EM?

That is the question.

17 Jan 2026 17:30:16
Cant blame this draw run on slot. We played all right but with no real threat or luck. 4th back to back draw and we should have won all of those really. Ok maybe not the Fulham one but Leeds arsenal and burnley today should have been 3 points each
Last year we won such games and slot was lauded for managing the game brilliantly. This year we just don't have that salah or brilliance in the final third.
That is all that is different this season. It looked good last season cuz better players better form. Its bad this season cuz new players and no form.

By the way had we won last 4 we would be just 5 points behind arsenal. Its a grind but I don't think slot is the real problem.
We just sold too many important players and didn't replace them. Very simple. Put in a quality winger, CB and RB in this team and we are gucci.

17 Jan 2026 17:36:20
Rubbish, try getting to the game and witness this dross, you cam feel the tension in the crowd - sorry if I'm being blunt

Drogie.

17 Jan 2026 17:43:13
I agree with you. Add Salah and Diaz performances last season to this team this season and we'd be up there with Arsenal. Instead we have ekitike and Wirtz, players who can only play well for 45 minutes a game and lack a ruthless streak to score enough goals, a completely ineffective Gakpo and still no goals from a lack of quality in midfield.

Add to that Konate and it's actually Hughes and Edward's who should be taking most of the blame. Slot set them up well today but still they let him down. Why is Szob who runs a lot but lacks top quality taking pen over our strikers.

17 Jan 2026 17:43:42
His tactics are rubbish.

17 Jan 2026 17:56:43
Because szob has only missed 2 pens in his career?
Ekitike and wirtz are not the problem

Letting teams pack their box every time we get the ball is the problem.

17 Jan 2026 18:03:11
Atmosphere is not great in the ground at the moment, Drogie. It needed the Annie Road to get singing going at one point, which took me back to the 70s!

I've said, repeatedly, that Slot will ultimately pay the price, but most of our players look so off it, it's frightening. These are mainly the ones who were playing last season. I thought the 4 summer signings were OK, the rest were dog sh*te.

Massive game on Tuesday but, how the season's going, we could well go there and win.

Alonso is sat perched on Slot's shoulder. He is likely to get heavier with each passing game if things carry on.

17 Jan 2026 18:23:22
we are playing exactly same way we did last season. Just that when ball goes out wide there is no one to do anything and we are poor in the front so we keep recycling the ball back.
That is because no one takes on a player. That on players. Slot hasn't changed tactics but its not suited to this group of players.

It is not slot. Wirtz is showing what he can do.
Dom should not be missing pens. Ekitike has to do better. And gackpo needs to be sold.

17 Jan 2026 18:52:25
I watched the Manchester derby earlier and was impressed with how Carrick had Manchester United press and go at City. As a neutral it was a good game to watch. I was left thinking that if Manchester United keep up that kind of performance then we are not likely to get top four. We are so boring to watch right now.

17 Jan 2026 18:52:25
Out of 20 Dean. And in the premier league he'd taken zero and now his record is missed 1/ 1 record. If he's our penalty taker we are screwed.

17 Jan 2026 19:42:32
so you think a 90% score rate on pens is bad?

17 Jan 2026 20:00:05
Salah missed a pen today.

17 Jan 2026 20:49:17
In fairness Charlie it couldn't have worked out any better for utd. Were able to sit in knowing City would and had to come onto them while. also having to play a back four that wouldn't have looked outa place at a bottom three team.

17 Jan 2026 20:52:57
We had enough chances to have that game well won, their only shot on target and they score. We are so weak when we lose possession, a lot of accusations about Hughes blocking JH's return being one. Seems a bit too crazy, that.

17 Jan 2026 21:23:56
Really! Cafu we were slow, easy to read devoid of ideas, caught out with ball over top
We are dire you can not dress it up to anything we are back to before Klopp came .
YNWA.
