FT: Wolves vs Liverpool, reddit

Salah's broken his scoring drought, and we'll face Wolves again in 3 days.
Please be civil. The mods are working overtime.

Any ableist comment(s) will result in a permanent ban.

Great that salah scored he done nothing else. Nothing to shout about. That performance by the whole team was very poor.

And thank you, finally, to Mohamed Salah for ending the drought. You could almost hear every FPL manager breathe again.

See you again in three days apparently. Because once clearly wasn’t stressful enough.

I dont think I can do this any longer. Its like they keep finding new ways to be shit every week and I'm somehow surprised by it. I dont get how we've fallen off the cliff so hard this season

Absolutely pathetic performance. I afraid this will be the same at Friday. Our game looks like a dead horse.

This game was so unbelievably boring, I barely looked at the screen at first half. Then endured 10-15 minutes more in 2nd half, shut it down and called it a night. I honestly don't care win or lose, I can't stand football like this. Absolute snoozefest...

...

This match was a great opportunity to use the rest of the squad especially with the amount of games coming up in a short period. Salah form has dipped despite his scoring. Simple passes or crosses are cut out. The pass he could have made to setup a goal scoring opportunity when it was 3 against 2 was criminal and symptomatic of his poor season.

Bro have you seen our bench right now? Is the 'rest of the squad' with us in this room?

Kerkez is in ok form so Robbo isn't really a better alternative

Jones is clearly not seeing eye to eye with the manager

Chiesa will never start a premier league game unless the whole attack is injured

Rio was never gonna get ahead of Slot's golden boy Gakpo

Aside from these players who are obviously never gonna get ahead of the starting eleven, who else would realistically improve our team?

...

To quote Tots fan Expressions, I want him gone to-NOW

Slot has lost the dressing room a long time ago. He's time is up. He needs to go.

I feel like i am having deja vu. We play Wolves every game and they kick our ass every time.

...

I’m so glad that I chose sleep over staying up until after midnight watching us play turgid shite and then lose to the worst team in the league in the dying minutes.

Yep I’m glad to, I saw the nil-nil scoreline before going to bed. I just had a bad feeling about this one.

Missed the game, knew the result was coming a mile away. We will not get CL under this manager, just remove him from his role. Im sick of him. Worse manager than Rodgers

I stayed up past 10 to watch this shite and had to be up for work at 4am. Fuming

...

Slot has to go, preferably yesterday but today will do. I'll personally come and drive him home to Rotterdam if thats what it takes, call me up John Henry.

You already have someone waiting who can bring the Carrick vibe along with tactical acumen. I think he would be the perfect replacement.

...

We are going to waste the best years of Szobo, and the growth of Wirtz, Grav, Kerkez, Ekitike and Rio under this manager. He has to go

We are going nowhere

Get xabi in

...

I was feeling pretty pissed about the result but then read Arne’s comments after the match, and he said Wolves hardly got any chances so that’s good right? And we created more than they did, so maybe we get a bonus point or something.

I certainly feel much better about losing at the team propping up the table now he’s pointed that out.

Slot has blamed low blocks/set pieces/ whatever bullshit excuse he can come up with besides the fact his team and style of play are slow and boring. “Control” is what he thinks we’re doing… all to lose every other game we play. Insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting different results and FSG should’ve cut their losses with him months ago.

In Slot’s head every team should just play open football and let his players do whatever they want. There are 4 teams above us that have to face the same tactics and don’t complain

...

One thing I'm tired of seeing is our players falling over expecting to get a foul...especially Mac Allister...that crap needs to stop.

Was pissing me the feck off. Like they're never gonna give it, just play on!

Works for arsenal

They're constantly looking for contact in the back and go down at the slightest of touches, absolutely hate watching it. It's definitely something that has worked its way into the squad over the last year or so.

Love Macca but his constant rolling around pretending to be injured while the team needs his defensive help is infuriating. No one believes he's injured anyway, not the ref, not the fans, and not even his teammates. Just get back on your feet and help the team out.

...

Slotball sucks but there’s some serious shit players out there

replacing the manager in the middle of a top 5 fight can’t be that bad considering the team looks like they never played together every single week

I wonder how many times this needs to happen until everyone realises this manager needs to go. I can't stand seeing people act like he's turned some corner any time we barely scrape past a team where there writing has been on the wall since November

Slot’s accomplishments at Liverpool: winning the Premier League last season and getting us Europa League football next season. There need to be more calls for his bald head, everyone seems so resigned to this. What has he done to this club?

-200m or so if we fail to qualify for Champions League. No pressure.

Slotts tactics have been to blame at times. Putting that aside for a moment, does anyone else feel like we have had the worst luck going this season? We’ve had a tragic death, an ACL tear to our new CB on his debut, our record signing breaks his leg, TAA replacements both out for months - one for possibly a year, red cards, OG’s, pens not given (Guehi), failed transfers when goodbye videos are posted (Guehi again), the most 90+ minute goals conceded in all history of the Prem… the feckin list can go on! It’s totally bananas in a way and I am starting to feel that no matter who is in charge this luck would destroy their playstyle too.

...

Europa League football for feck sake. Xabi won't be joining us. The dream target was Olise? Lolol. No other top player would join us. I dread football and really don't look forward to see this team playing.

Europe league never stopped is or United signing top players, it won't stop it now. Alonso isn't tye answer either for me.

Xabi won't join us but that's not the reason. He's just going to sign with some other club.

Ofcourse he will, since Liverpool is dragging their feet and keeping Slot way to long, Xabi will look for another job meanwhile.

Xabi nearly won a cup in the Europa league, why wouldn’t want to have another go at a European trophy

...

Same old same old. Salah is finished, gakpo is a slug, midfield without wirtz just meanders around the pitch, ekitike looks drained again. Secure UCL somehow then sell salah gakpo chiesa macallister and robbo this season get in 2 new wingers another full back as cover and a new holding midfielder. Still don't think slot NEEDS to go but if xabi says yes get him in.

Just what do you even say at this point

My coaching experience is limited to U15s, but I'm willing to have a go and try a few things

Can’t do worse than Sloth

Send in your bona fides lad. Recruitment ongoing

...

Look at United, we used to laugh at them, now look at us.

Real and us have been the predominant laughing stocks of the footballing world. The two prime sources of hatewatch entertainment value for rival fans this season. And, Real 'only' has 9 defeats to our '13'.

A harsh truth: Michael Carrick might be a better coach than Slot.

Utd have looked wank 3 games in a row and have been lucky with the refs and the fine margins .

Which you’d know if you actually watched them

Come back when Carrick has gone a full season managing Man United lolol

At this point, one should really be asking how many PL managers have actually done a worse job than Slot this season. Ange, Potter, Vitor Pereira, Frank and maybe Parker are the only ones that spring to mind.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

He’s saying that we hardly conceded a chance and their goal was a deflection but if you constantly allow the opposition to first play intricate passes around your shape and then allow them to run past your midfield, you are going to invite deflections.
You see how hard it is for us to break teams down when they have men behind the ball, is it too much to expect us to be hard to fecking play through if we aren’t going to press teams, but no of course not we have a manager who goes to bed thinking of Luis Enrique and PSG, a manager clouded by his “philosophy” which is shit anyway. I wish I could be on a round table with Slot, I’d love to pick his brains and tell him how shit his football is shit

It’s a mentality thing.
I think his mentality has leaked through the squad. Funny how bodo/glimt can admit they beat inter but it was a mediocre performance. This squad started globetrotting after the west ham. Grav talking about how brilliant a performance it was.
Open play the game was actually fairly even and xG corroborated that.

I hate these comments from slot so much... Stop being naive and address the problem which is clearly a trend. I'm afraid that he has literally no idea what to do against a team that sets up defensively, and the times that we win these games is simply due to the talent in the squad and not strategy. It's amazing how hard they are to watch.

He struggles to play against pragmatic teams. He only does well against teams that are good enough to play open but aren't as talented as Liverpool

...

Eki got zero service gakpo Salah was terrible. No pressure no intensity nothing something needs to change
Cart rely on conceding a goal to pump the team up cos manager is shining his fecking throphy and psg ball sack

I mean Ekitike was just as guilty as Mo and Gakpo for messing up attack’s constantly and has been for a few weeks now. In fairness to him thou he does look absolutely gassed from being our only option at CF

And everyone was questioning the Isak signing. Two top quality forwards should be expected of a top club.
The better question is why don't we have the same quality in depth across the squad. The only positions we have decent cover that can actually be relied upon are goalkeeper and fullbacks.

PSG ball sack

...

What does slot blame it on if he can’t blame taking forever on set pieces and the low block was too easy for wolves to play against us. Braided szobo is absolute turd btw he was embarrassing today.

Bring back klopp

Beaten by bottom of the table. Good job slot. Who the feck is training this team.

4th and 5th will be taken by two of villa, chelsea and us, all we can do now is hope for a draw tomorrow, sucks that the team can't get going and take matter into their own hands, got to depend on other teams being poor.

...

Change everything. Change the manager, change the players, change the people above the manager. I want the owners to go scorched earth on this club at the minute. Been a fecking failure for months and I can't put up watching this shit much longer

The players are fine. It’s the coach that is a moron.

Nah the players are twats as well. Bunch of these players downed tools for Klopp as well and now they're doing it to Slot. feck them off

...

Against a Wolves team that made changes to focus on the cup tie at the weekend, btw

They’ll be well rested to beat us again

...

Just a subtle reminder since Jan 2025 he has 6 wins more than draws or losses. 6.

Two of those losses and two of those draws were after the season was already over in May 2025.

...

Bye bye 4th spot

And while at it also add a bye bye to FA cup and CL.

Apparently 5th will do for CL so that's our best bet

...

We are finishing below 5th. I am calling it now, everyone has given up on this season. We won’t win any domestic or European cup. Now it’s just a waiting game, because it’s literally March and it’s the same problems. You’ve had your time Slot, and I saw your face in that interview - you know what’s coming.

Also, very difficult to finish 5th when you’re the worst coached team in the league. Can’t paper over the cracks every week.

We could win the Champions league if Slot is replaced by someone not absolutely dog shit.

Screams 6th place in the league, scrape past Gala only to be battered by PSG in the CL and honestly wouldn’t be surprised to be out the FA Cup on Friday

This is absolutely the most likely outcome.

We are fecking awful and we are relying on a miracle to not be set back 20 years.

...

Remember boys, it’s the players fault bc the system works.

“Somehow this is Frimpong’s fault” - Slot

Man, sure the system may suck. But Virgil going down like a baby on the first goal is completely on him.

Salah not passing to Szobo, Jones passing to Ali and putting him under ridiculous pressure, Ali drilling it straight to opposition players all game long etc. the list of individual errors every game is endless

Yep. Slot is having a not great year but as much as people want to put it on one person its not. Players across the board have let their standards drop. As Virgil said before the entire season started. This would be a tough year for them.

...

Bruh I was too tired and didn’t bother watching the game. What just happened

The usual. But, because we created chances, Slot will sleep just fine.

Couldn’t believe in his post match interview he said after their first goal we “struck back immediately, first by hitting the post” no, Arne, hitting the post is not striking back. As if a 17 year old striking the post while you’re trailing to 20th place Wolves while in a fight for top 4 is some sign of resolve and not a damning implication on the entire performance ‍

His mentality isn't of an elite coach. Imagine Klopp taking the team to Ibiza before the season is over. His ceiling is Eredivisie.

...

I just really want us to trash Gala 10-0, that's it.

Have you seen us play this season? The only way we're scoring 10 goals is if we're awarded 20 fecking penalties. And even then...

...

It's ridiculous how we have made and are making what should be a piss easy top 5 race such a massive uncertainty right now purely by stubbornly sticking with this equally stubborn manager.

Can’t help but feel like we deserve absolutely nothing this season. No fight from the boys, same excuses from Slot every week. It feels like the fans are not on the same page as the team anymore.

Comfortably the worst of the “top 6”

Villa are much worse atm

Could be 6 points clear of us tomorrow

We just lost to the 20th

Tbf so did Villa lolol

...

We’re gonna finish below United . My head is on mars

You must not of been around in the 90s much?

I was around in the 90s and really don't want to go back to it. This Liverpool finishing below this Man Utd is inexcusable.

Don't disagree with any.of that certainly. Ha, this sub. Will never understand folks down voting things when it's just a fact. In the 90s Liverpool quite often finished below the Mancs.

Comfortably

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

We will be fifth. League seems very anybody-can-beat-anybody.

8th more likely than 5th

We're not making 5th. Not like that. Chelsea will beat us to it.

No . Anybody can beat us .

...

This match was 90 mins long but I swear I've watched this type of game for 24 hrs. 0-0 against Arsenal, 0-0 against Leeds, 3-3 against Leeds, 1-1 against Burnley, 1-2 against City, 1-1 against Sunderland, 2-2 against Fulham, 1-0 against Gala, etc. Even some of the games we won were exactly like this, like 1-0 against Arsenal and Burnley. This isn't a player problem if this keeps happening. This is a coaching issue

1-2 against Palace, 1-2 against United, 1-2 against Chelsea, 2-3 Against Brentford...

...

Like it or not I doubt he will ever be sacked. I think they will let him stay and give it another go next season and just off this season as just unlucky.

Eh maybe. Honestly I think if someone said before Slot that "hey your gonna win the league once in the next 3 years but you will be in a dog fight for a Champions league place the other two". I think a ton of supporters would happily take that

Not after spending 400m+ You are saying a ton of our fans have no standards. Even Aston Villa would be seriously considering binning Emery if they’d spent this much and were playing like us.

Emery didnt win the entire league last year. Even if you dont want to give Slot credit for it. It happened and FSG certainly give him credit. Many of these fans lived through the 90s and 00s where the thought of winning a league was all that matter. We have won the EPL twice since it became a league in 1992. Twice. It is not something that happens often for this club in the modern day. I think our fans view of things are honestly distorted espically for recent history. We are a proud club that wants to win and does win lots of things but facts are facts.

...

I feel my life would be a lot more peaceful if I had the absolute, complete, blind, unconditional optimism of some people here.

It's not even optimism - it's just incredibly low standards out of bizarre fear or misplaced loyalty. Some of these would happily keep this fraud in place if we scraped fifth to show we aren't a sacking club or something. Genuinely think they reckon they're better fans for never questioning a club decision.

Especially when there's so much to play for aka Europe with a good run and new manager bounce you can easily win it. Now this season is a right off because Hughes and Edwards won't can their man.

...

I think the CL is up for grabs. On our day we have a squad that can beat any of the remaining teams over two legs. It's all about who peaks at the right time akin to PSG last year.

We don’t look like a team that is peaking any time this season

...

Everyone glossing over how weak Virgil was for the first goal, let’s face it the regression is real

its not regression, he will eventually slow down and get worse its inevitable, its just the natural progression, you can see it with salah currently, cant keep relying on both of them forever

He played for the foul, but it was never a foul . It’s just bad decision making. He clears that ball 99% and did so all game .

...

Honestly after recent results overshadowing our performances I've given up on him getting sacked this summer

I’d take Slot getting sacked at any point in time, I’ve wanted him sacked since we lost 3-0 at home vs Forest. Nothing has changed since then

Fans are odd after that 3-0 slapping by Dyce ball he should have been sacked that game. Why we wait this long is a joke.

Too late at this point. 9 games left. No manager will want to sign up for that. Summer makes the most sense

I think Slot gets the sack the moment we are out of the CL.

HE gets the sack if we finish out of the top 5...so basically when the real damage is done.

we will be in this dog fight for the 5th spot until the last game, unless we actually get even worse before that, if thats even possible

He’ll get the whole season unless we have a complete collapse and end up bottom half at any point

...

How did these guys win a league..

It was an extended new manager bump

We inherited the best pressing, counter-pressing and attacking transition football in the league. Slot did well to add a more patient build-up play and Ryan's repositioning.
Now, Slot has lost Klopp's pressing, counter-pressing and transitional play, and opposition teams have completely adapted to his build-up approach, and he is suddenly looking like a complete out of sorts manager.

People have been saying that we over preformed last year and this year is the slide that last year should have been, I’m in the mind of this is exactly what slot is and it clearly isn’t good enough for LFC.

Yet Klopp would have this team absolutetly smashing the league this season with Man City being so poor.

Salah was at Messi/Ronaldo level for 2/3 of the season, and practically willed us to the title on his own. Notice that every game we lost he was subpar, and every game Now he's older and can't do that anymore. Simple as that. It's now on Slot to figure this out with the loads of talent we've got but seems like he's not up to the task

But Salah will have a fit if he doesn't start.

And rightly so when Cody is a huge part of the issue and is almost a guaranteed starter.

No Slot took away all of Salah's power with his coaching to make every player behind him to receive the ball then hold onto it too long then pass it backward or sideways. Either way all momentum is gone. This is 1000% on Slot.

...

We’ve been so bad all year and there’s never anyone to take responsibility for it apparently, lmaooo I hate every media representative online for LFC

They’d take the blame themselves before they pointed fingers. They’re just shills for the club at this point.

...

Is it any wonder Mo and the other attacking players struggle when everytime all the players behind them get the ball, they stop, turn, look around, before deciding to play the ball which kills any momentum/movement of the attacking players.

the problem is both Mo and Gakpo stay wide because they’re shit in tight spaces (this season) and so our midfield is the one to provide numbers in the box to support Ekitike. They are doing so much running and tactical work that it makes it hard for them to keep up

...

Result was clearly the gods’ reaction to Dom debuting that hairstyle

Yep, knew we were screwed when I saw that

...

I like VVD, but how on earth does he miss that headed clearance for the Wolves 1st goal?

And why is Konate standing so close to him, when a Wolves player to his right is completely free?

I'm sorry but we need CB upgrades, a CB who doesn't;t switch off in key moments.

He also should’ve scored that header in the final 10 mins. Was a weak header straight at the keeper

If you have played football and contested a lot of aerial duels you’ll know that even a slight nudge like that completely takes you out. He gets pushed just as he is about to jump, which makes it really hard to get back

So get your positioning right as the ball is coming to you, so that a slight push by the attacker doesn't take you out. VVD typically gets those right, think he bottled that one..

That’s what he was doing to begin with? I really don’t think you have played any football, at least not as a CB with these comments.

I'm not going to argue with you. HE bottled his positioning, that's what I concluded as I watched it real time.

...

Imagine spending so much money just to play worse than United

 

[Rodgerzzz]

that's brilliant

 

[whitbyviking]

How did I just find out that shower lost. What a glorious lunchtime catch up on RAWK

 

[golden_blunder]

It’s funny reading some of the Slot out comments when just last season slot himself was trying to tell Amorim how to coach etc

It’s coming crashing down eh slotty

 

[RedRocket9908]

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

People are fecking so tragically desperate for some limelight. He’ll be the next Liverpool watch along king because the real fans will have chased him away.

 

[The Brown Bull]

That can't be real.

 

[SuperiorXI]

That can't be real.

It's AI slop mate

 

[ElectroManiac]

I was going to say that looks like AI trash.

We don't need AI as the real fans are deluded enough to give us great content for this thread

 

[Florida Man]

It's AI slop mate

Furthermore it’s not even funny

 

[bludsucker]

No meltdown? Have they already given up for the season.

 

[Livewire1974]

Needle ready. Tapping. Give it to me please, NOW

 

[SamVimes]

Craig had a right meltdown. He does know they only won 2 League titles in the last 30 years. Arnie does!!

 

[Florida Man]

No meltdown? Have they already given up for the season.

Only down a goal after a difficult away trip to Gala. Could have done a lot worse. If they get knocked out, then we’ll be back here with our zippers enthusiastically unzipped.

 

[ClaytonBlackmoorLeftPeg]

No meltdown? Have they already given up for the season.

They’ve just realised they are playing spurs next.
