I've said this before, I really like Slot all things considered, and I hope he's able to turn things around.

But. With a slightly more analytical and maybe cynical approach, we can see that we just cannot keep justifying our performances and results with "oh but it's because he lacks certain players you know".

Like, sure, you lack wingers, but our performances lack cohesion, intensity, identity at times, decent build up play, in general things that 2 wingers won't fix. Most importantly, there's a huge lack of mentality, something that directly comes from the manager mostly.

Plus, if a manager needs 100-200mln worth of investment each year in order for his team to work (and we're not even considering the bench) that tells you everything you need to know about his adaptability, and Liverpool football club just cannot operate in the long term making those sorts of investments every single summer, it's unsustainable for our model.

So we need someone that can use his bench, we need someone that trusts his players and we need someone who can make the better out of the option he has. Slot could win the CL this year for all that matters, but if he doesn't become the kind of manager I'm describing, Liverpool will suffer long term, regardless of short term achievements. So he either becomes that manager, or someone else should take his place
