They are proving impossible to beat! Very impressive from Slot.
Arne Slot | Liverpool manager | Bald sack watch
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Who is the Michael Carrick of Liverpool?
My perennially pessimistic, professionally dour Liverpool supporting mate says they were actually good today and that Wirtz was great.
I'm hoping they don't click and go on a proper run.

Alonso probably, he is out of work now.
Stevie G.
Carrick played more than twice as many matches for us, they need to find someone else for that!
My first thought was Jan Molby. But Alonso fits.
Would deliciously be Gerrard....
People seem to think Slot has turned it around but he hasn't really. Were alright at Arsenal but couldn't beat Fulham despite leading that game in 96th minute and draws at home to Leeds and Burnley is pretty poor.
With Xabi Alonso available I think patience will very quickly run out. Not even sure they'd wait until the summer.
Xabi Alonso
Slippy G then.
I think we can all agree that this is the best solution
Alonso being a free agent almost makes Slot a lame duck till the end of the season.
And that Liverpool squad would fit Alonsos Leverkusen system very well.

Would hate to see Alonso there, that could actually work
Yeah they should've killed the game before the equaliser. Think Slot is safe for now, results are not too bad but don't see him being Liverpool manager next season.
Agree. And different culture to the toxic one at Real Madrid, you'd think at least.
It sounds like they had a very similar performance and result against Burnley as we did.
Just had a look at the stats and it backs it up too.
Annoyingly typical that just when it's finally Liverpool's turn to be saddled with a poor manager, Xabi Alonso gets unexpectedly sacked at Madrid and becomes a free agent. As soon as their chips are down, the football gods immediately throw them a miracle solution.
I doubt they will fire Slot. A transition was inevitable that they are starting to go through, especially when Salah leaves and VVD becomes a liability.
Alonso won't be short of offers that's for sure.
I must have heard Arne Slot say "Not for the first time this season we hardly conceded a chance, but we did concede a goal", about 20 times this season.
He must drive the Liverpool fans crackers.

I am half expecting to see Alonso managing them by Monday. Looking at their squad they’re not really anything impressive anymore and the hate o slot is probably a tad unfair but still.
5 wins in 17 PL games and a worse PPG than Hodgson after a similar number of matches played. Horrendous form.
Not sure today was on him as much as it was the players. Where we struggle is the spells in games when the opposition put us under pressure. We’re so easy to create good chances against.
I think he’s gone either in a few weeks or the summer at the latest.

Happy they got burnt, but this means only one thing, they might be in a market for a (maybe PL-proven) manager.
Alonso I think will take time off and could be a great timing for them. Might go for Enrique if he'd fancy a challenge. Or hopefull not for Iraola, my personal favourite for United job ATM.

This bloke owes Klopp so much it's unreal. I hope they stand by him, give him at least another year.
Follicle challenged imposter.
Do you not think there is an argument that that is on him? The sideways passing and lack of intensity invites pressure and pressure will turn into goals more often than not.
On a 12 matches unbeaten run. What an achievement. Give this man a life long contract.
Alonso is available, surely fattie's days are numbered
I obviously dont watch as much as you do but there's a lot of quality in that team, I could almost see what the problem was earlier in the season, it looked to me like it was the move away from 3 hard working CM's to accommodate Wirtz at no10. It looks as though you've reverted to the 3 CMs now with Wirtz playing wide.
I'd still fancy you to get top 4, it just feels as though you've got goals in the team and have got enough to get there, although some of last seasons higher performers dont seem to be quite at it.
Where do you see the major problem?
I don’t think he’ll be under really serious pressure unless champions league qualification is looking really unlikely. That’ll be his minimum requirement. He’s been massively helped by how open the league has been this season.
I hope we let him ride out this blip. We're in a bit of a transition phase and I've seen enough to think that we can turn it around
Salah not being their cheat code anymore is the most significant change imo. He's been a complete freak for years and years now, pulling out goals and assists out of nothing. Regardless of who's manager him being gone will be the difference.
You're spot on, he does.
I'm sick to the back teeth of the moron. He has us playing even more dull football than Roy Hodgson ffs. It's time to go.
Slot turning Mo into an isolated touchline winger after the season he just had playing more centrally is on him too though. He's got this team built around Cody fecking Gakpo and this is the end result of that.
Yossi Benayoun or Sammi Hyypia.
Edit: everyone saying Alonso is available, he didnt leave on the best of terms, so may not be as enamoured to go back as some are making out. I'm more inclined to fear Enrique will end up there.
That man is Steven Gerrard.
I should’ve clarified, yesterday was more on the players, but the issue I referenced is on Slot. We’re not handling any kind of pressure and we’re easy to build up against.
That was the problem partly but it’s better now. Wirtz starts from the left but has freedom to drift around a bit, or even if he’s in the 10 he does that.
It’s more just that we’re not that good under Slot. Football is slow and easy to low block against, and you only need about 30% of the ball to create some good chances.
It’s really amusing how much your fan base hate Cody Gakpo. He’s your Dalot.
They lucked out with Klopp exactly the same way I seem to remember.
Klopp had resigned at Dortmund in May and we didn't sack Rodgers until early October. Not sure what's lucky about appointing the right manager who's available.
It's mostly because of how many minutes he plays for me. Sharing the same nationality as Slot doesn't help things I suppose.
He's an ok squad player but nowhere near good enough to be first choice.
