Embarrassing shit
Wolves - one of the worst premier league sides ever. Scraped past them.
Spurs - had 9 men and still barely won
Brighton - scored 2 goals in a minute. Fuck all in the other 89. But okay, maybe I'm nitpicking
West Ham - absolutely torrid West Ham side.
Villa - they gifted us our two goals, but again, maybe nit-picking, but fuck giving this fraud the benefit of the doubt.
Everton - Everton. And we still nearly threw that one away as well.
We're genuinely lucky we're even in with a shout of top 4 with this con man.

At this point I'd take Gerrard. He'd at least try to get us playing attacking football and get the hairdryer out if players were putting in 4/10 performances.
But Edwards and his nerd gang have left us with Gomez and Endo. And no Diaz. And Elliott rotting at Villa. We overpaid for Wirtz imo. I can see very little end product yet.
I think I'd take Gerrard as well until end of the season. He'd at least get stuck into them and tell them to run around a bit. I'd take almost anyone to be honest.
we could finish the weekend out of the cl places with 4 or so tough league fixtures incoming.
i’m wondering do the top dogs finally see that the cl qualification ‘charge’ is creaking like a patio chair under a fat girls arse and might actually be ready to make the change

He's doing that Arteta thing after games where everything that goes wrong isn't our fault when you really think about it, we were just unlucky. And his whole plan is assuming that the unluckiness will end at some point and everything will be fine.
The difference is that Arteta was simply deflecting attention, while working on a plan to address their issues. He's managed to do it, which justifies some of his farcical comments. Had he not managed it, he'd be in for similar criticism to Slot.
I don't get that sense with Slot. It seems he just generally hasn't a clue about how to break through.
When James “23 Big Macs” Pearce puts the boot in you know he’s gone.
Some extracts.
This was another act of self-sabotage for their collection as Arne Slot’s side rallied from 2-0 down to restore parity, only to capitulate late on when Amine Adli bundled home the winner from a long throw-in.
It’s the fifth time this season Liverpool have conceded a result-defining goal deep into stoppage time, with a total of seven points frittered away. How costly they could prove to be.
There was alarming regression in all departments on the south coast. An unconvincing 13-game unbeaten run had been built on greater defensive solidity, but twice in the space of seven first-half minutes, they were undone far too easily.
The visitors had 73 per cent possession in the second half, but before Szoboszlai scoring with 10 minutes to go, they hadn’t mustered a single attempt on target since the interval.
How Liverpool squandered momentum at 2-2. Rather than kick on, they wilted. Having lost their shape and their composure, they were fortunate not to concede before Adli finally settled it. Winless in five league matches so far in 2026, the champions have taken just four points out of a possible 15. Pressure and scrutiny have once again been cranked up.
For context, Bournemouth had won just one of their previous 14 games and have a lengthy list of injuries, which includes Justin Kluivert, David Brooks, Ben Gannon-Doak, Marcus Tavernier and Tyler Adams.
Slot talked about “dominating” long periods, but the depleted hosts had more shots on target (five vs four), a higher xG (2.35 vs 0.93) and created six big chances as defined by Opta compared to one for the visitors.
What a mess that Liverpool spent most of the second half with their best midfielder in Szoboszlai playing right-back and a rusty holding midfielder in Endo at centre-back. That record-breaking £450million spending spree last summer was supposed to deliver a revamped squad equipped to deliver on all fronts, but the gaps are currently glaring.
Slot has regularly commented on the size of his squad compared to some of his rivals, but it was a collective recruitment decision to spend £241m on two marquee signings last summer rather than spread that money around on more deals.
The Dutch head coach bemoaned fatigue and a lack of options on Saturday, but he didn’t have to retain 10 of the 11 who started in Marseille. Recalling Andy Robertson and Curtis Jones would have made sense. When he felt the need to take off the tiring Jeremie Frimpong, he could have brought on Calvin Ramsay rather than move Szoboszlai there.
But part of the issue with the depth of the squad is that Slot is so reluctant to turn to certain personnel on the fringes. There’s a lack of trust and that leads to some regulars being overworked.

question - i’ve seen a lack of charisma, personality and such being frequent criticisms of slot. is xabi actually any better?
he seems like a bit of a wet fish to me, that’s not to say he won’t connect with players in different ways but he’s not a silver bullet in that sense of coaching / management.

Yeah, I don't know enough about Xabi and his style to know whether or not it will be a perfect long term fit.
I do know, however, he couldn't be any worse than this con man who is getting everything wrong and has us in relegation form with one of our best and most expensive squads in the last 30 years.

I said it to my mates, "I don't know if he's better. If I'm angry at the manager they may as well be handsome than some thumb looking cunt"
only the adjectives change, you go from baldy cunt to spanish cunt
allegedly xabi is still semi impressive on the training pitch so that’s something and he won’t be the man directly after klopp but a lot of the players will still be comparing to jurgen even subconsciously.
I always feel that brilliant players get a bit more respect on the training field.
Footie is a safe place to get away from reality for a couple of hours. Slot has destroyed that for me now.
There's been very little entertainment this season, whatever the results. It was amazing to win the league last season but even then we were pragmatic more than entertaining. I didn't actually enjoy watching the second half of the season much. That's unusual for me.
Slot did his homework and tweaked Klopps side but that togetherness is long gone. He has lost the ability to improve individuals. He doesn't have the charisma to motivate players.
He's used every excuse - bad luck, bad reffing, bad weather, low blocks, low blocks on repeat, Mo, injuries, lack of depth, tough schedule - but he's finally run out now. Surely the nerds can see that too?
Is Alonso more charismatic? It's never been his strong suit but he'll get respect from his vast experience as a top player. Nobody can deal with the Real dressing room so that's no negative. He's tactically astute and has got the best out of Wirtz and Frimpong. I think he'd trust more fringe players too.
Would he take the job though? There are big problems, with Virgil and a few others undroppable. Klopp preferred a small squad but that lack of depth is causing sloppiness under a less headstrong manager.
