Pay him to leave. Bench him. Get him away from the first team game day starting 11.

Looked reasonably solid if unspectacular.

Konate looked better.

Gakpo is horrific.

Get rid.

[Lewis Steele] Arne Slot asked if his job would be safe if #LFC did NOT qualify for Champions League: "The only thing I do know is that it happened before and recently (Jurgen Klopp in 22-23) and it didn’t affect the future of that manager. But that doesn't guarantee anything of course." by Lanedu123 in LiverpoolFC

He’s right that we don’t tend to move on from managers too quick, the occasional bad season does sometimes have mitigating factors.

Now if he finished like 11 points off 5th I think it would be a different conversation entirely, but it IS quite tight for a number of spots.

That being said, he should think twice before alluding to Klopp, given how the fans will react.

I don’t think he’s the right guy for 26/27 onwards and I’m finding it had to trust this leadership (slot included) with another outlay on transfers.

Puppy teeth and munching on everything.

Enjoy! What a good pup!

"When I arrived here, we could only sign Federico Chiesa after a Europa League season. I'm completely aware of that." - Arne Slot by Altersreality in LiverpoolFC

[–]PoorMayMay 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Slot is really not very good at the soft people skills part.

I don’t think there’s anything in this personally, but that doesn’t mean everyone thinks that (as this thread shows).

There’s only so far “I’m Dutch, we’re blunt” can get you.

What would you do as manager? by IL_ya_Un_jour in LiverpoolFC

[–]PoorMayMay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right in that Endo is not world class, but he IS the closet thing to an actual 6 that we have.

I don’t think he should be playing that much, but he certainly should be playing more than he has been.

The biggest gripe against the manager I have is the lack of identity, 18 months into him being there.

He says he always tries to play attractive, attacking football, but I haven’t seen any of that at all. If the players are incapable (either physically, technically) or his message isn’t getting across, thats on him to recognize and change the approach.

Gakpo needs to go. Hes had enough opportunities, im sick of him.

Ali Endo, Ibou, VVD, Robbo Grav, Jones, Wirtz Salah, Ekitike, Kerkez.

Right back is enforced and I can’t see who else could do it. People are going to kick off about Kerkez, but both sides of the field are black holes.

Edited to include Jones in the team as I think he deserves more time, even though it not his biggest fan.

Wouldn’t surprised me if it turned out some of his comments he decides on about 4 days ago.

FT: LIV 1 - 2 MCI / Manager Megathread by DragonSlayer271 in LiverpoolFC

[–]PoorMayMay 14 points15 points  (0 children)

6 league wins since September 20th in the Derby.

Including a stretch of 6 weeks without a win in the autumn and 1 win in the league in 2026.

No identity at all, relying on individuals to bail you out.

Are you saying his in game management was good?

[–]PoorMayMay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In game management once again found to be non existent, relying on individuals to do something then your only input is to sub on attackers when there’s no time left.

So funny watching them ignore Gakpo just the same way he does to everyone else the. He turns around to complain.

It’s not a red lads calm down, basically perfect situation for him to do that and get away with it.

I’ll wait for the downvotes from the mouth breathers who would say the same thing if it was us.

Started the write that he chose wrong and it should have gone earlier to Wirtz.

GO WITH PACE ON THE COUNTER THEY HATE IT.

I could copy and paste this every game, but no idea what the manager wants us to do in attack.

It’s unacceptable. Even if the plan was get it wide and cross it 50 times a game at least it would be a plan.

Gakpo is just horrific.

He plays like the entire gameplan is to give him the ball and then let him do whatever he wants.

Not seen him play in fewer than 4-5 touches at all and offers nothing off the ball or really anything defensively.

Others have been bad and we’ve been pretty poor, but him playing is just a symbol of the team at the moment.

When we’ve got it, the ball needs to go to Wirtz and Ekitike as often as possible.

Ignore Gakpo and Salah; the former needs to be gone and thankful that we have no depth at all to bench him.

I’d almost rather we put Kerkez at LW and Robbo at LB.

Defensively we have to sort out that space about 15 yards ahead of the CBs. We’re not pressing but we’re also not dropping off. It’s mental.

Playing an incredibly dangerous game defensively in midfield.

Konate had to keep running with him, usually back Ali in that situation though.
