Quote from: Brendan on Today at 05:11:15 PMWas always madness to keep throwing hundreds of millions at the forward line when the defensive issues were clear for all to see, only a few years ago they made the same mistake were lessons not learned then?

They did consider that defensive side with the signings of Frimpong, Leoni and Kerkez.

Quote from: laoislad on Today at 05:38:43 PMRidiculous to be talking about sacking Slot imo.
Tough times at the moment no doubt but ffs he won the league last season, would without a doubt give him this season and into next.

Agreed, he has earned the time to be able to turn it around.

Trying to avoid the muppets on t'internet for the next week will be the hard thing

I don't bother with any of it, there are enough muppets on here I don't need to be reading any more!

Ffs tough times some drifter won with another man's team, not tough for the over priced players also drifting, yous boys need to get a grip.

Plus, Jota died, Nunez wasn't good enough, and Diaz wanted out to get a better contract. AND their main playmaker left for free!

None of which excuses the defensive shitshow, but this was always going to be a transitional season, albeit the assumption was it would be far better than what we've seen so far.

I think Arne Slot is on very thin ice now. Don't like saying that at all and I don't want to see him go. Suspect the owners would be desperate to avoid that too. But losing heavily at home to a relegation side after losing 5 out of the last 6 isn't acceptable. There is very little fight and spirit in the team. Maybe that is due to the Jota tragedy, I don't know. But what is the tipping point - how many more games can Liverpool keep losing?

Loads.

Caught his post match interview. "Better team for first 30 minutes. Trying too hard for the next 60."

He'll hardly be sacked for that.

The form this season will rightly lead to questions being asked.
Edwards and Hughes will no doubt be concerned and looking at contingency plans should they feel they need to make a change.
The players will have a massive say in it. If the dressing room is lost at any stage, the club will be decisive.
I don't think it's quite at that stage and Slot still has time but there needs to be some sharp and sustained improvement very soon.
If it continues in this vein for another month, I could see a scenario where Klopp is approached to take over until the end of the season.
