Another set of nightmare results midweek for us then. Some of these referring decisions are baffling, but it just seems they seem to decide they favour a certain team before the season starts.

Watching all the games tonight, channel flicking. Have to say every team playing tonight is full on going for it. Now that's football. Makes you wonder even more., what have we been doing all season.

I have to say, watching the Arsenal highlights, I would disagree with you, and so would the media. Dreadful side, only one team trying to win.

For all the criticism on here of Slot, and I've certainly been one to do just that, the league is dreadful, and it must be extremely difficult trying to manage with all the time wasting, blatant cheating, poor refereeing, etc.

I have lost interest massively, and I think next season will be even worse.

If there was ever a manager who made football look like afternoon tea, it's Slot.

He's a calm and controlled which is reflected in the style of play and possession. Very civilised. That's until we lose the ball. Then it turns into players running around like shopping trolleys being blown across a car park in a hurricane.

It goes from yoga to an episode of Casualty.

Is it just me, or would the words, "just a bit faster, lads, " actually help?

Congratulations once again to the broadcasters for more excellent booking.

The Fulham game on the 11th April has been moved to 5.30 so it can be shown on sky sports.

That's grand national day btw.

Slot needs to go. We need to move on. Need a new manager bounce. Keeping him will result in us finishing outside of the top 4/ 5. Changing him now might give us more of a chance.

Might not guarantee it but to leave it as it is will be counter productive. Watching this football is painful. He looks like he's run his ra e and is ready for a new challenge.

Maybe. I doubt it will happen now. The lack of quality is a concern, but the lack of the basics is even worse, and the lack of fight is unimaginable. In truth, we probably should have bitten the bullet months ago.

Now I fear it's too late; they will wait until summer, and they can feel justified separating, whilst we have to manage a season in the Europa League at best.

OK, so I am going to say it, it likely won't go down well, but here we go.

Performances and results this season have been really disappointing, and it is probably past the point of saving. I imagine Slot will and should go at the end of the season. Even if he turned things around completely, lately, he just doesn't look happy in the role either.

But one thing that I have noticed recently is that although as fans it's fine to get frustrated and criticise, etc., there seems to be a growing group of our fans who just come across as entitled? It's the main thing that drives me crazy about Arsenal fans!

Whether Slot should be sacked or not is one thing, but:

- Insulting the man
- Assuming we should automatically be winning everything
- Hurling abuse at our own players the minute they make a mistake

These are just poor traits in my opinion.

I agree tactics and management are completely wrong, but I can still have respect for the man who won us the league as he sees out his role towards the end of the season. In my opinion, a mutual parting of ways (at least portrayed that way in the summer) is a nicer and more deserved way of doing things, especially as we haven't made any decisions earlier in the season.

Also a few things to consider (again just my opinion) :

- We have been in decline since 2020/ 21, really, and as we saw Mane and Firmino leave and the crux of the midfield that brought so much joy, we started to become more vulnerable.
- We plastered over it quite well and for a while, but it's never quite been the same
- Klopp started to struggle
- Winning the league last year was amazing, but if we are honest as much as we were consistent, the other teams just fell away. I'm not so sure we would have won it if we had a City of old breathing down our necks. But respect for winning it - just stating it felt more like a Leicester wildcard season
- If anything, if Slot had been 4th/ 5th last season (ignoring the poor performances and tactics of course), then actually it would have been accepted as transition.

Anyway, a long message to essentially say. I agree it looks to no longer be working and running it's course, but let's not act as entitled fans who just berate out own team and abuse them - it's not becoming and honestly, the small group (but seems to be growing) who act like this, just make a mockery of the club. If I was an outside manager and saw how abusive and quickly our own fans turn on a manager and how they demonstrate that online etc, I'm not sure there would be too many wanting to join.

Vent over, and of course it's only aimed at the minority who have been Slot out for a long time AND also abusive. There are ways to act and this is not it.

Those who have opinions constructively criticise without abuse, but collectively want the best for the club, understanding that it's not a game of Football manager - as you were and I believe the underpiining of what this site is all about/ meant to be.

{Ed025's Note - great post that Jimjam..

Spot on, Jimjam. Slot has had a v poor season and deserves criticism; he's got it v badly wrong this season. He seems like a decent guy, and gave us one of the best days of our Liverpool supporting lives against Spurs last season when we clinched the league, and should be respected for that.

This calling him names is typical modern day social media crap, and I would've hoped Liverpool supporters, considering their reputation as knowledgeable football fans, would've been above that.

04 Mar 2026 18:45:50
Great post, Jimjam. I've posted elsewhere that it's one thing to want the Head Coach out; it's another to call him an idiot and bald fraud.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no saint. When I'm not at games, I can often be found on the chat moaning about players.

This is part due to the fact I'm a miserable old git.

Like I say, great post, Jimjam, but sadly it will fall on deaf ears.

In all the commotion about the game less night, nobody's mentioned it, but I have to say Dom's new hair style is awful. Surely, as captain VVD has a duty to take him to one side and have a word.

05 Mar 2026 00:47:17
I long for the days when the last thing we talked about was players' hairstyles, unless it was the Keegan perm, of course. But I agree; I'm not sure what he's thinking. Rather, he should focus on winning some 50-50s rather than playing with his socks down, etc.

04 Mar 2026 11:18:51
Can I be added to live chat please?

{Ed033's Note - Red Rebellion added.

What are your views on sage coloured paint, Red Rebellion?

04 Mar 2026 10:49:21
Been told from a very trusted source close to the club, Arne Slot wanted Liverpool to try and tempt Lamine Yamal as a Salah replacement Richard Hughes apparently laughed it off.

If true, then rightly so, you would be talking world record money for a player who has shown no interest in joining us.

04 Mar 2026 15:25:10
What?

No, money in the world would bring LY to LFC.

This is definitely a windup.
