Here are the top Premier League managers ranked by their estimated win percentages across all matches played in the 2025 calendar year, combining the second half of the 2024/25 season and the first half of the 2025/26 season.

games wins %
Mikel Arteta Arsenal ~39 ~27 ~69.2%
Unai Emery Aston Villa ~39 ~26 ~66.7%
Pep Guardiola Man City ~40 ~26 ~65.0%
Arne Slot Liverpool ~39 ~23 ~59.0%
Eddie Howe Newcastle United ~39 ~22 ~56.4%

Had nothing better to do, so I went to check out when the squad left for Ibiza & Dubai 😅.

It was the week after our match against Arsenal at Anfield (2-2) on 11 May 2025. Upon returning, we lost 3-2 away to Brighton on 20 May 2025 (which was basically the 2nd last game of the season).

Why Slot and his players spent the week in Ibiza and Dubai

Including that defeat to Brighton, here’s how we’ve fared since those trips:

Between 1 Jan 2025 to before the trip

Taking that Sample @King Binny he has a 47% win percentage since that game. Pretty bad

Farkmaster · 2026-01-17T18:54:28+0000

He might only be the head coach but this team is man aging me.

1.54 pts per match (league wise) - and Keith Andrew's record so far (incl. today's loss to Chelsea) is comparable to that 😅

If that was the record, and we'd been playing a nice brand of football. I'm sure there would be some leeway.

Simply though we have been shite. Its solely the squad talent thats pulling us through.

Farkmaster · 2026-01-17T19:38:31+0000

The other thing is that slot himself indulges the hard luck story that is one possible way of looking at our constant inefficiency in attack and the oppositions ability to score from very few chances. You can't do that as a leader.

Cause he isn't a leader

Luckily we did not give him a five year contract - 18 month payout is not bad considering no transfer activity this month.

We would be wise to only give Xabi 3 years as well. Coaches do not work out at new clubs way too often regardless of their pedigree.

Are you sure it's Alonso, with his preference for 3 at the back, that you want in? I'm not sold on the idea personally.

Dan_AnthonyLFC · 2026-01-17T20:25:44+0000

I really want him to turn it around but I’m running out of patience now and I think the credit in the bank is on its last legs.

0.43 points per game since September 27th 🚨

Neither of the coaches you are referencing has that much pedigree, do they?

Thinking Van Gaal, Mourinho, Conte, but maybe their contracts weren’t that long, either.

I am not sure, but I also think Xabi is more flexible than just 3 at the back. I don’t mind 3 at the back, but we would need be buying a lot more defenders than we already desperately need, for sure.

Hi

With the paucity of LFC defenders, perhaps we should consider fielding less of them.

Holle · 2026-01-17T21:59:21+0000

He should be long gone.

Halmeister · 2026-01-17T22:03:56+0000

The club need to act with regards to the manager, as well as equally doing something about the transfer market. I think Farky did a great set of posts regarding our transfer strategy in another thread and I couldn't agree more. Why are we waiting until crisis point before making changes on and off the pitch again?

This manager is going to have us miss out on Champions League football. Get rid of him now and give ourselves a chance.

He should be sacked regardless for surrendering the title to this fucking Arsenal side. This season should have been another cakewalk.

Even with a fucking awful season, had we just beaten the promoted sides and Forest at home - not exactly asking for much - we'd be second and 5 points off the top. Instead, we're scrapping around with Brentford and shocking United and Chelsea sides in the table, while shitting our kecks at home to Burnley and Sunderland et al.

Pointless me even typing this out though. Just as it's pointless hoping the fraud benches Gakpo.

localny · 2026-01-17T22:49:10+0000

So if we got Alonso, would his style work with our squad - for now -

He would have to adapt his style - for now

Stevesquash · 2026-01-17T22:54:16+0000

This is why we shouldn't wait until the end of the season. What's the point?

Get someone in now and we can try to shape our squad now and prepare the business for the summer.

Halmeister · 2026-01-17T22:59:31+0000

Imagine if everyone else below Villa weren't equally shite. We'd be about 11th. We still might be soon.

I thought he went 4 at the back. But even 3 at the back worked at times for Klopp who pushed our full backs high up or into the middle.

He did some of both at Madrid, but mostly 3 and that was the Leverkusen way.

Sounds like a front press attacking forcing the play style.

Like the man we miss.
