I don't like what I'm feeling right now cause from where I'm sitting all roads point to Slot staying, there seems to be zero feeling in most of the media that he'll be gone and I really don't like it.


Another season of this, ticking off another year of my life for slotball would be depressing.
Let's hope Carras on the money cause the thought of it's giving me the fear!

20 Apr 2026 13:56:46
You're not alone, mate, it's really depressing to think about.

20 Apr 2026 14:31:18
I would ignore all the journos.

The fact that Slot was not backed in the January window, hasn't been offered a new contract, and that his request to bring Heitinga back into the coaching team was rejected should be enough evidence to counter the misdirection by the UK journos being fed by Tony and Neil on behalf of Mickey and Dickie.

Shame we didn't bring in that Cherki. One of the best players I've seen in the league the last few years.

20 Apr 2026 00:10:14
He has been a very good, intelligent player, tricky, quick feet, excellent in tight spaces. It's starting to look like Plan B should have been Plan A all along, but I'll reserve judgement in the hope that Alonso comes in and gets Wirtz back to his best.

20 Apr 2026 00:42:54
Cherki wouldn't look as good in the system we are playing this season. Conversely, I think Wirtz would look amazing if he were playing for City.

20 Apr 2026 01:15:15
I don't think Slot is using Wirtz correctly. I'd play him on the left, where Coutinho used to play. I think Cherki looks that good, he'd work in any setup. I think, technically, he's in a league of his own.

20 Apr 2026 03:06:12
Dracred, what system?! No doubt Wirtz would shine in City's current setup.

I agree, Thiago, he produces a lot of individual moments which I think in itself shows an ability to perform despite what may or may not be going on around him, whereas Wirtz seems to be a lot more dependent on fitting into a system where his teammates are in tune with his style and actively looking to play through him.

20 Apr 2026 07:24:05
Cherki looks a real talent, and is exciting to watch. He stands out in the league as he's a bit of a maverick, there aren't many about.

Of all of our team, Rio is the most exciting to watch, particularly when he's around the edge of the box.

Not sure he's got enough raw pace or power to get by on that side of things, but if he adds a few more tricks to his game, I'd hope he can make it.

20 Apr 2026 08:20:41
Exactly my point, Chewy. Cherki wouldn't do as well in the "system" we are currently playing. City has a functional way of playing, and we don't, hence why Cherki looks good. Our way of playing is affecting all our players, not just Wirtz.

20 Apr 2026 11:12:42
Let's be honest, some of the best players in history would look dodgy in our team at the moment.

Not every player is the same. Cherki is a good player, but his attitude sucks. Wirtz needs time to be used correctly and in a functional team.

21 Apr 2026 00:29:36
Cherki looks great on YouTube because his highlights certainly stand out. His main problem has always been his poor work rate off the ball - something you can't accuse Wirtz of. Given our slow, turgid movement on and off the ball this year, Wirtz was always going to struggle in attack.

If we do get a new manager, hopefully he will bring a new style of play that will allow him to shine.

19 Apr 2026 22:33:20
Proud of that.

After reading Viktor's many many many defamatory posts about the team getting slayed in the derby, I would have taken a loss and no injuries at worst and a draw at best.

Will run home with the 3 points and a 7 point gap to 6th place.

Now we can muck around for at least 2 games and still be in 5th. :p

20 Apr 2026 00:24:51
You need to look up the definition of defamatory. There's nothing defamatory in saying we've been playing absolutely pathetically, or that the manager is clueless or we're soft as diarrhoea in defence and midfield, because all of those are true, and a lucky win in added time against Everton doesn't change any of that, and it certainly doesn't change that Slot should be sacked either.

He's just Brendan Rodgers with a slap head. For avoidance of doubt, to be defamatory a comment has to be knowingly untrue so as to cause reputational damage: maybe you should get yourself a dictionary before using words you don't understand.

20 Apr 2026 13:42:30
We were lucky to come away with a win. It was not a good performance, we were very fortunate Everton had a poor game too. We definitely can't afford to muck around for even a minute, never mind 2 whole games, what a nonsense claim. Palace next, they've beaten us 3 times this season, Utd after, if we play like we did today against those 2 we certainly won't be coming away with a win, we cannot afford to be within touching distance of Chelsea going into that game.



Vik, all too often he's overzealous with his word choice and under-whelming in his execution. Maybe you could spare an old Oxford English for the lad, he does try so very hard in all fairness.

19 Apr 2026 20:29:13
It's kind of sad that after winning the derby, most of the comments here are still about Slot out. By no means am I defending him or the job he is doing. But it is getting tiring, like the constant talk about Trump here in the USA.

19 Apr 2026 21:08:23
Well here's the thing. They both need to go. They are both destroying their representative places they work for. At least Slot isn't à grifting pedophile, that's something he can hang his hat on.

19 Apr 2026 21:24:45
Mate, don't come on here on your high horse trying to make other supporters feel less because we robbed 3 points from our neighbours - no wonder all the talk is about Slot, we are so poor and in this derby, you talk about looked like he was happy with a draw 30 mins to go. Does my head in when people come on slating others.

Give it a rest, buddy... Remember the saying "you're better than no one, but no one is better than you". All the talk should be about Slot doing one because he is turning fans who love Liverpool cheering probably cheering more for a Haaland goal than any of our performances this year.

19 Apr 2026 21:53:28
You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

19 Apr 2026 23:46:57
Sofa, if that reply is for me, there is no high horse. I'm simply stating that I come into this site for entertainment and to keep up over here. It is tiring reading about Slot, is all. I got off of social media here, because all you read about, one way or the other, is Trump. I don't have the energy for it anymore.

20 Apr 2026 00:25:54
Maybe you should smoke a blunt, 420.

22 Apr 2026 02:43:01
Can't anymore vic.work place rules

19 Apr 2026 11:19:03
Again we are being linked with Adam Wharton.
Quality player but he is another midfielder who along with all our current midfielders bar Endo, needs a midfielder alongside him with energy, physicality and the ability to read the game defensively, to complement his qualities.


As I have said before a top class defensive midfielder will improve the team and complement all our other midfielders' strength.
We can all see it bar the ones that can actually do anything about it!

19 Apr 2026 11:17:37
So Slot actually gave the team and himself 2 days off after the PSG loss and before an important derby game? He's got be checked out surely that can't be just pure incompetence or lack of care?

19 Apr 2026 11:39:09
No mid week games left, so think how many days they'll be getting off now.

19 Apr 2026 11:51:45
True, so after today's game, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs and Friday off.

19 Apr 2026 12:00:52
I've said it many times. It's all down to how Slot and Peeters have implemented their "periodisation" program, which essentially means reduced training volume and intensity. They were credited for it at Feyenoord because apparently it helped to reduce injuries, but this isn't the Mickey Mouse League. Elite players need elite training.

19 Apr 2026 12:01:28
Slot will have plenty of time now to jet off back home to Holland.

19 Apr 2026 17:47:42
Yeah it's not Holland, and our squads are so much deeper with quality, so intense training is needed to compete at this level.
I do think that Klopp had an idea of how intense you need to be coming from Germany, and it did not take him longer than 2 games in the Premiership to realise it needed more. He pulled that face we all now and love, and said uff this league is even more intense than I thought.
Slot is one of them people that does not learn and grow, he thinks he knows it all and so will never get any better.


On top of that, all he wants is time off to go home to his family.
I do not care what anyone says, this league and football as a whole has dropped off, and we have a squad that should have walked this poor league and challenged PSG far better over pat two seasons properly beat them, but we are hampered by a selfish ?.

19 Apr 2026 18:17:19
Agreed, Grino. Eredivisie is nowhere near the Prem in terms of intensity, the fact that Slot is still giving players excessive time off just proves he genuinely thinks nothing is wrong and that we've simply been unlucky this season.

Did you notice in the pre-match presser he said a lot of our players broke physical output records against PSG?? The bar must have been set extremely low.

19 Apr 2026 18:40:20
Chewy I used to love to listen to Klopp press conferences when Slot arrived I carried on but now when I see him I turn over or just simply turn off.
I actually can't stand the man now I don't thank him for last seasons title I just think there is the man that thinks he can take his £6m a year wage from our club that I have loved for over 45 years I treat it like a part time job at Tesco's.

I would literally take any
Manger over that bald ?‍? tw@

19 Apr 2026 19:07:41
I know the feeling mate, I watch every presser, it's painful. All we can do is hope he's gone this Summer, otherwise I'm gonna have to start supporting the local pub teams.

18 Apr 2026 20:09:09
Would you swap Macca for Fernandez?

18 Apr 2026 20:35:32
Enzo or Bruno?

I'd take either over Macca.

18 Apr 2026 22:08:04
Enzo Fernandez? The racist? Hell no!!

19 Apr 2026 06:32:32
If Enzo...no chance whatsoever.

Bruno Frenandes, any day of the week.

19 Apr 2026 07:17:18
Bruno or Mateus, yes. Enzo, no.

19 Apr 2026 18:19:44
The way he's playing this season I'd trade him for Gigi Fernandez.

18 Apr 2026 20:06:46
What a strange world we live in watching Utd play and hoping they win.

18 Apr 2026 22:42:33
Did you ? never ever.

19 Apr 2026 08:41:47
Why were you hoping for a United win? A draw would have been perfect.

18 Apr 2026 10:52:31
I thought Gakpo may have been up for sale, apart from the obvious he's 1 of only a few salable asset. We already beed 2 quick wingers which can also play across both sides and now through the middle due to Ekitike injury. Ess they think there an older player who can do a job on a free? But not sure now as more work to do unless they think they can get another attacker on the cheap and a top infer comes in from say Bayern!?

Curtis and Maca need to go (I think Curtis dies for his own career) but outside that? Unless they don't progress with slob contract and 100m plus come in...


I said last summer our squad was light and no real pace going forward...causes all sorts issues. Even think pace outside will help Wirtz and stop teams bring able to send alot of players forward on set peaces as well as general play knowing they can get back.

Few youngsters and possible 3 1st teamers (not including frees) plus Cheisa. Gomes for nominal fees.

Another 5 tob7 players again.

I think slot stays due to the squad he was given and circumstances.

Not my choice but think that's there thinking.

18 Apr 2026 16:41:51
Scarily, it does look like we'll have to do 6-8 deals this summer.

Two wingers, a versatile forward, two midfielders, a RB and possibly GK if one of Alisson or Marma are sold and another CB, if Ibou doesn't renew.

My current (changes weekly) shopping list is: Risser (GK), A.Gray (RB/DM), Wharton (CM), L.Camara (CM), M.Mane (AM/LW), Y.Diomande (RW/LW) and A.Gordon (RW/LW).

I'd flip Marmar, Macca, Gakpo, Frimpong and even Gravy if someone offered good money.

Would try to keep Curtis, but it's up to him in the end.

An alternative to Lamine Camara would be Joao Gomes. Probably a similar price.

Gray, Wharton, Mane and Gordon would increase our HG number.

Camara/Gomes, Kayode, Diomande and Gordon would add more speed and physicality.

Gray would give us someone who can start at RB, invert into midfield comfortably and like Fabinho did, eventually convert into a DM in the future.

18 Apr 2026 21:15:46
I just went back to review the team and on paper we have a good quantity for all positions (not considering injuries), just that we don't have the quality (at least this season).

I feel that we are going to lose the following players: Gomez, Salah, Robertson, Konate, Chiesa, Elliot, Jones and Macca.

Given those leaving, we should buy at least 6 players, not counting Jacquet.

The positions would be 1 RB, 1 CB (I would prefer 2), 2 CM, 1 RW and 1 Forward that could rotate in 3 positions. Who those names are, I don't know, and it would depend on who the manager is, but we need 6 to 8 players despite the profiles being different depending on the manager.

19 Apr 2026 09:30:44
Gordon? Physicality? He's as soft as diarrhoea him. Goes to ground at any opportunity he has.
