I'm not. Because Glasner has turned into an utter wanker since last summer. I don't know what happened but something rattled his cage and he lost his cool and couldn't handle it.
I don't think he'd last long there.
He wanted pressing, and hard work, but had to back down as the players didn't.
That's Madrid for you.
And that's more than reasonable a position.
For me I want out and I think we could find someone else. The fact now one of the managers we courted during slots appointment is available (in Alonso) it makes it even more an obvious time to do it.
Obviously I'm not immovable and if (somehow) we manage to find a rhythm, see active patterns of play, strengthen at the back line (with signings or without) and start getting results, then wonderful! I've just seen nothing to say it will
Exactly... Winning the title while playing boring football I will accept but this crap we are seeing even if it means we scrap into champ lge places is not acceptable. I'd rather win 2 lose 2 than 4 pathetic draws
As @Gerry_A_Trick and @Fabio say. No point me repeating it.
I don't think he'll turn it around enough to stay on. But I'm equally unconvinced that sacking him now would be beneficial.
He'll likely do well enough to squeak into the Champions League for next season and we'll part ways in the summer. Which is fair enough, I suppose, from my perspective.
I'm worried about wading into a manager recruitment battle with United, Real, maybe City, Spurs, and others. But I'm not certain the right successor is lined up and available right now.
For example, if we want Xabi, is he mentally ready to step into a new project right now or would he be best served by having a full preseason? Look at what happened when United forced Amorim to join midseason instead of waiting.
So, is there an interim manager that could give us a bump in results for the back half of the season? How many are ready to let Stevie G have five months at the helm?
0 wins in 4
It's weighing up the options
1) is it worth persisting with slot and hoping he does enough to get CL, then sack
2) bring in a new manager who may or may not make the cl (who fucking knows), but at the very least then has 5 months to assess the squad before the transfer window.
If you take option 2 then realistically we e may as well treat the rest of the season like pre season, which I don't hate. Id almost rather miss out on cl because we're learning rather than missing out on it because we aren't trying.
Chelsea and United genuinely have a chance to leapfrog us when it comes to cl qualification and I wouldn't be surprised to see us finish 6th or lower.
I think there's a reason we heavily scouted Alonso, and I don't think we've changed enough to think he's not viable any more. If we want Enrique or someone else, then going in to the summer with united, city, Madrid, potentially PSG all looking for managers, we're fucked.
At this stage we should have a plan..
Exactly and yet people like to keep banging the drum that we are 11 or 12 unbeaten.. 6 league draws in that run.. Only 1 was an actual good point. 3 of those draws were home draws against newly promoted sides.
Because being hard to beat is important. Going a lot of games unbeaten is actually hard to do, it isn't done that often, and give we'd lost a stupid amount before this run, its something. It doesn't mean our problems our solved or that we're close to solving them, but we're closer to it than we were in November.
Absolutely, but there does need to be a second phase in this rocket into the uh, lower stratosphere.
Agreed
Again I'd prefer to win 3 loss 3 of those 6 draws
I'm glad you are getting something positive out of not being able to beat any of the promoted sides at home..
I do agree though we might have lost to burnley back in November but I don't think we have improved enough for him to keep his job
Exclusive: Slot 'surprised' at suggestion some Liverpool fans doubt him

When it was then put to Slot that faith among some supporters might be wavering - judging by the angry reaction at full-time against Burnley - his response was robust.
"Do people not expect that to be possible for me? To be successful? It's new to me, but if you're one-and-a-half years in the job and have already won the Premier League, when the club has won it twice in 30 years, I'm surprised to hear that.
"But if that is the situation, then I have to accept that. I've tried the same things as last season this time around. Every time we've been a goal down, I've made offensive substitutions, and wherever I can, I am playing a team that is as offensive as possible.
"You cannot play attacking football with the amount of ball possession that we have. Sometimes, it's a disadvantage that we have that much ball possession, because then people expect more from the ball that you have.
"But the moment you don't have it, you have to press really high, because with a low block, you don't have ball possession. Everyone knows what we need to do in order to make the next step in this transition phase, but sometimes a bit of patience is needed."
Arne, lad, when we do have the ball it is slow and we don’t pull opponents out of position. When we don’t have the ball we stand off them and let them do what they want. Also, everyone looks slow and unfit. You fucking bell whiff.
You inherited a great squad. What does the 30 years have to do with you? Klopp sang you into a team that had enjoyed success.
Goes from referencing 2 in 5 to 2 in 30 now he's in the shit.

If the silly cunt had the first clue about this club he'd know in past years we've had more possession than we do now, and quelle surprise, attacked far more.
Either that or the sack of shit is just lying through his teeth knowing full well the media won't pick up on it.

He doesn't half talk shite. I'm more offended by his explanation of our play, than him leaning on the "twice in 30 years" thing. We're playing shite Arne, and dropping points against the dregs of the league, at home.Exclusive: Slot 'surprised' at suggestion some Liverpool fans doubt him

I'm loathed to be one of those fans who wants defeat to get rid of a manager, but we really are due a hiding by someone and hopefully it forces a fucking decision so we don't have to watch or listen to this lame, arrogant, defeatist crap any longer.
