It's time. I won't cheer for it. But if not now, the leash has to be getting very, very short.

Yep, me too.

Like I said before, and I've been saying this week in the real world, we couldn't really ask for a better bunch of fixtures to build up some momentum. 5 teams we should beat to build some confidence and a run of performances. A bit of a gimme. Get the first result, get the second, allay some fears, the players relax, we start to see more structure, maybe a performance etc etc.

Sadly the bald fraud can't handle a low block and direct football.

Straight out the gate, he loses 0-3 (the scoreline flattered us) to a Sean Dyche team at Anfield that are in the bottom 3 and haven't won away all season.

Sorry, but you don't get to even roll the dice on any of the remaining 4 fixtures. Save them for someone who might know what they're doing.

In a bit, Arne.
 
It's not even as if this squad is Roy Hodgson or Brendan Rodgers bad. That's how you know he's an awful manager. Look at the players at his disposal. And they're all getting worse.
This squad is joint second in quality and depth IMO with City.

11th is a horrendous underperformance.

Failure to land CL football will see him get the boot, right now that’s still in play so fully expect Slot to continue until that is mathematically done or the performances continue into the new year being battered left right and centre.
 
He's lost the plot. Doesn't seem to have a clue all of a sudden and doesn't appear to be up for trying anything.

He's cooked. No way he's turning it around, which is a shame.
 
Sometimes I feel uncharacteristically impatient about a man who was parading a trophy around Anfield in May. Then I watch us play and accept he is completely out of his depth. This is not just about this season. It goes back to when he allowed standards to drop in February and ever since.

I am no expert, but I have watched enough football to know that not a single part of our game functions properly. Not one area works, and there is only one conclusion you can draw from that.

It's beyond ridiculous for this to be true but it is. We are shit at everything from back to front. There isn't one thing that's good about us or working.
 
I think he will get a few more games and i
Think he will get them. Unless we lose the next two in which case I think he will be sacked
 
Seriously, though, what's the point of seeing if he can turn it around against West Ham away? Even if he does, it doesn't prove anything. Today was all the nails in his coffin at once. That was genuinely unforgivable.
i don’t disagree but i think this match will force the hand that might already be pushing him out
 
If I felt he can change things and things would improve then would keep him but even before the Villa game, it felt like things were getting worse performance wise. He seems to have also given up and 70% of the players are not putting in the required effort. It’s not the Liverpool way but there is no way we should be losing this amount games in such a short space of time as well as last two 3-0. Also, I don’t see any similarities with Klopp’s losses in 6 at home over Covid, there was mitigating circumstances back then. I don’t think he can afford to lose the next game in such a weak manner.
 
I would give him 3 more Premier League games: West Ham, Sunderland, Leeds. If there is not a clear improvement in results and performances (at least 2 wins, promising new tactical ideas, etc) then unfortunately it will be time for him to go.
 
Yeah the damage will be irreversible if we keep with it but his successor has to be a more sure thing which is hard to do mid season.

Iraola maybe.

If not Klopp as caretaker till the end of the season? But not sure he would drop everything to do it like this.

The data nerds likely aren’t this prepared with a successor?
 
I don’t understand how he hasn’t been sacked, are FSG purposefully waiting until CL is unattainable?

We spent 450m to be 11th and 11th is too good for how this team have played. We had no choice but to shamelessly celebrate the wins at Newcastle and Burnley. Everton outplayed us on our own turf for an hour, fucking Everton you know.
 
So how much time does Slot get to turn it around?
He needs to start winning games that’s for sure but I do think there are so many reasons for our slump.

He’s very unlucky City away came after Madrid and then an international break where we always look sluggish after.

We also lost our only fit RB which upset the balance in midfield and Wirtz on the left looked promising.

Fine margins again as we started strongly and got sucker punched after a bad unforced error by Konate and a goal that shouldn’t have stood.

Unfortunately for Slot though things can snowball quickly in football so he needs a bit of luck now and our better players to dig in consistently.
