To me, it is not about press conferences, what managers say or do not say. People like Dreamy assume that when I am being critical of Slot, I do not like him or I am not grateful for what he did.
I am incredibly grateful to Slot for giving me last season. Actually, I am highly thankful to all of our managers for the highs they gave me. Hodgson is a notable exception. To me, there are two categories of managers - good ones and great ones. I am not bothering to categorize Hodgson or managers belonging to that class.
Good managers walk into an environment favorable to them, add to that, and create a perfect storm and ride that wave. Rodgers is a good manager. Everyone writes him off because he couldn't recreate that title challenge. But he contributed to that. He was pivotal to assembling that attack and tactics. I was not in a good spot in my life, but those games against Arsenal, City, and Everton made me forget my troubles. I will forever be grateful to him because of that. When the environment he succeeded did not exist, he collapsed. Great managers bend the environment and create success through tactics and sheer force of personality. In my life, I have seen two: Klopp and Champions League Rafa.
Slot contributed to our PL win, no doubt about it. He walked into an environment, leveraged it, contributed to it, and we won it. He deserves all the praise for that. But we are not in that spot anymore. The opposition has figured out our weaknesses. Players are either different or older. Is he capable of delivering success in this environment? I am pessimistic about that.
But if he leaves, and if I am lucky enough to meet him, I will thank him wholeheartedly for last season. Just like I prefer to remember Rodgers for the assault on the PL, Rafa for our CL nights, and King Kenny for giving us hope back after the Hodgson era.

He won’t be in Ibiza, they had the closing parties a month ago.
It’s a lovely run of low block and long balls.
So either back to Netherlands or Dubai then.
He sure as shit isn't gonna be sticking around Kirkby is he, what for? Doesn't have anything to work on.
That seems to have been the approach since New Years Day.
Sorry but where are the Mentality Monsters now....
Ripped up the squad and destroyed the years of team ethic created....
Mentality Morons now

standing in his bedroom with 4 mannequins and his wife’s hairbrush ranting on about his understanding of football tactics like he’s doing another tnt sports interview
I can’t say I’m not concerned. To his credit, Slot kind of took the blame in the press-conference saying that the problem was the game plan rather than the players’ effort - but with each loss the level of trust in the manager’s ability to find the winning game plan will dwindle.
I think this international break is the final chance for both the manager and the players to take a good look in the mirror and figure out how to attack the rest of the season, now that the league title defence is over. If they don’t figure out something soon, Slot will be gone by Christmas.

MORE LEFT FORWARDS
Lol
I would take Klopp in a heart beat but he isn't coming back. I mean why should he, he is enjoying retirement. i think we made some very good signings but they're not working out as intended. Not going to blame Slot for that.
He needs to work out quickly how to change things. Robbo can't play two games in row, and Konate keeps wanting to do impressions of Djimi Traoré
I'm sorry if I sound like a broken record, but how about trusting his squad?
He put himself in this situation, so...play them.
Give Gomez a chance, give Chiesa a chance.

What is the most number of games Liverpool football club have lost in a calendar year
Answer
Of course. This is an interesting question with a specific answer for the men's first team in the modern era.
The most number of games Liverpool's men's first team has lost in a single calendar year is 17.
This unwanted record was set in 2022.
The Key Details:
· Year: 2022
· Number of Losses: 17
· Manager: Jürgen Klopp
· Context: This was a highly unusual year for Liverpool. They were competing on all fronts, reaching the finals of the UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, and EFL Cup, and taking the Premier League title race to the final day. However, the intense fixture congestion, combined with a significant injury crisis and general fatigue, led to a higher number of defeats than is typical for a Klopp team.
Breakdown of the 17 Losses in 2022:
· Premier League: 7 losses
· Champions League: 3 losses (including the final to Real Madrid)
· FA Cup: 1 loss
· EFL Cup: 0 losses (they won the competition)
· Community Shield: 1 loss (to Manchester City)
· Pre-season friendlies: 5 losses
It's worth noting that some tallies include pre-season friendly losses, but even excluding those, the number of competitive losses (12) was high by Liverpool's recent standards.
Historical Context
For comparison, in their dominant years, the number was much lower:
· 2019: 6 losses (a year they won the Champions League)
· 2020: 7 losses (a year they won the Premier League)
The 2022 record of 17 losses highlights a dip in consistency during a physically and mentally draining season where the squad was pushed to its absolute limit.

Liverpool FC: Most Losses in a Calendar Year
The record for the most competitive defeats suffered by Liverpool Football Club in a single calendar year (January 1 to December 31) is 20 losses in 1954. This remains the club’s historical low point in terms of results, occurring during a turbulent period of decline that ultimately led to relegation from the top flight and a decade in the Second Division.
