RAWK Goes Into Lockdown 25/26 Shieldless Edition - £500m down the drain, the champions have dropped points again!

[Ish]

Slot’s a genius man. He’s doing an Amorim & Ange….sacrificing league form in their great quest or UCL glory!

Ps one of the quotes above at least acknowledge the free ride Liverpool players and managers get from the media.

The Wirtz delusion never ends on RAWK - even after another no-show.

Some of yous don't deserve good players. Wow.

His price will be the biggest bargain in our modern history if we do what we need to do building the team around him. If we get it wrong we will have missed a glorious opportunity to build a proper team. One thing I do know is that the top coaches we had in our history would have had a field day building their teams around a player like Wirtz.

I for one hope that they spend a fortune trying to build a team around Wirtz. It’s a brilliant idea.

My housemate (a Liverpool supporter) keeps on telling me that it's his "adjusting season" and that he's a "class player".
I think he's closer to a chess player.

They should keep on believing.

Is Caragher on life support? In words of my late dad, nothing player.

 

[Red00012]

They’ve also got an FA Cup match against City and CL QFs against PSG.

Can Slot being sacked by mid April. Hopefully the 20th… “Moyes Day”.

No United supporter should want Slot sacked

Surely Salah going on a free has got them salty

Surely Salah going on a free has got them salty

The club surely must have been banking on 50m or so from Saudi for him?

 

[Martial'sEmergingSmile]

Even though his thread's been full of abuse all season, they're not taking the Salah news well.

Everything from weeping to persecution complexes to fake stories about 'me son, me mate'. Just need some poetry to complete the RAWK bingo.

I’ve just seen the video on Sky Sports and I’m genuinely in floods of tears ffs

I’ll never forget my 8 year old stepson (sadly indoctrinated with all things Man United) whispering to me “he’s really my favourite player and who I pretend to be when I score….but please don’t tell my dad that!”.

I’m still ridiculously emotional over this. We all knew it was coming but it’s hit me like a tonne a bricks.

One of those things where it was so obvious but so unexpected at the same time. It's crushed me. Even my missus noticed how upset and teary I've been. She has no interest in football at all but she got it right away when I told her why.

The shit he had to put up with off referees and broadcasters was a disgrace.
I always felt Mo was refereed differently to other wingers.
And treated differently by so called experts.

Spot on. There's always been an undercurrent of something with regards to how Mo has always been treated differently by referees. They never gave him the benefit of the doubt, never reffed him the way they reffed other players, allowed opposition players to manhandle him and foul him

Edit - not quite poetry but one emotional RAWK member posted the entire lyrics to a song from The Muppets Take Manhattan

Spoiler: a very touching tribute

Saying goodbye
Going away
Seems like goodbye's such a hard thing to say
Touching a hand
Wondering why
It's time for saying goodbye

Saying goodbye
Why is it sad?
Makes us remember the good times we've had
Much more to say
Foolish to try
It's time for saying goodbye

Don't want to leave
But we both know
Sometimes it's better to go
Somehow I know we'll meet again
Not sure quite where
And I don't know just when

You're in my heart
So until then
Wanna smile
Wanna cry
Saying goodbye
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
It's time for saying goodbye

This one made me laugh:

Such a weird brag about a likely made up anecdote

Get rid, get rid, get rid midget from the Egypt
Won't somebody help he's been chasing shadows away?
Get rid, get rid, get rid midget from the Egypt
Please bring me a new manager to sub him away

I doubt many big names will be going to Saudi this summer after the war that's erupted in the region.

Even if it stops tomorrow it will take a long time for the GCC to get itself back on its feet.

Are they taking it well?

Almost feel sorry for Salah, looks broken. Almost that is…

Not sure Slot will get sacked. They’ll still finish in the top 5.

 

[Perro Caca]

Haha

He's such a cringe bellend.

 

[calodo2003]

Totally forgot the FA Cup was today.

Holy feck what a scoreline.

YAWN

Best fans in the world la!

We all know it's just lyrics from a really nice song. In truth, in failure, you mostly walk alone.

 

[DarkLord1984]

Slot is doing a great job.

We better beat the Yorkshire cnuts next week so we get a comms

Anyone going on over there?

When you've lost the away fans, that's the final nail in the coffin. They are the proper fans who were backing Arne when everyone else seemed to turn on him.

That’s when you know it’s gone beyond form, it’s lost the fans’ belief.

Indeed. This is up there with the fans sarcastically singing "Hodgson for England" during the Chaos of Hodgson.

People can still argue Anfield has been taken over by the "tourist" fans, but the away Reds?

These are the most hardcore of the hardcore, and would follow the club to the depths of hell just watch their team play there.

Yikes. You know it's bad when shit like this starts to happen

Get ready for an ass whooping PSG!!!!

I don’t know if Alonso would wanna come. He has to play the King Kenny role of being player/manager since our midfield is dog shit too.

It’s not dogshit. Look at United, a bad system and manager cripple you so much. Most managers would love our squad and transfer budget, plus the horror show of Slot means there’s no comparison to Klopp.

Not sure Alonso is the answer but Slot lost the fans at least 3 months ago. He just has to go. Its embarassing and nobody even wants to go to the game anymore.

...

Will he want to manage a Europa League team?

What do you Leverkusen was when he took over there? Or us when Klopp took over? Managers aren't like footballers. They think more long term than 1 season

why not, after leaving Real Madrid and their pathetic fans he would be coming to a place where the fans love him and the pressure would be lower

You spelled conference league wrong

Spelt no European Football wrong

...

4 nil mauling after the dross week in week out will do that.

If he survives this psg will be the end

Honestly get in Alonso and Gerrard

He's not used to taking them off.

lolol I needed that chuckle

Can't blame him honestly, he doesn't get many chances to do so

Salah also miscontrolled the ball putting it on the corner spot. The confidence and mentality of this squad is absolutely fecking shot

I needed that laugh after today

Remember when people thought Chiesa was being cruelly held back and he could save us. Dude can't even beat an elasticated cuff

We're lucky he didn't get injured from the fall lolol

His head hasn't been the same since he found out Andy Robertson is more Italian than him.

Been turned into the fragility monsters.

Did FSG secretly convert the club to a reality show..

There was a time when this sub-reddit thought he was the answer to all our problems this season.

After Slot' post match presser: "Not up to the standard of Liverpool" | Arne Slot reflects on humbling 4-0 defeat to Man City

Reddit:

Same generic excuse over and over again. He’s mastered the skill of saying everything and nothing at the same time

Really? To me it feels like this is exactly our current standard.

The standards, discipline, fitness, fight are in the gutter

It was a drubbing, we were completely outplayed. It’s wild considering the perceived lead we had over clubs last year to this.

I find it so funny that he said that City didn’t have any chances between 1-0 and 2-0. That somehow makes it better? What the feck is this guy talking about.

Edit: read the comment again and infuriated me even more. Reporter didn’t say your players are never doing the basics. But somehow Slot interpreted it wrong, and said that they are only not doing it when we concede the goal. I can’t comprehend this. Seriously, what the feck is this guy talking about.

Quotes like this just show that Slot is not mentally at the level we want to be at.
Mourinho used to say that the difference between the very top players and the mid table players was purely mentality. Slot has a mid table mentality, and that is where we are heading. Klopp was the opposite, always demanding 100%.

The problem isn't the players making runs. The problem is the tactics are so shit there's a void in midfield and no cohesion or actual vision. The tactics rely on what the other team does, not how we set up, it's shocking.

And of course he’s right. But after losing 4-0 it’s not enough to be right after the match.

The man’s a genius. Of course he’s right. Why are we even questioning him? This is all the players’ faults. This is all the backroom staff’s fault for giving us an unbalanced squad. This is all the fault of our bad set piece coach that we already sacked and weird how we saw a positive up turn by changing the coach. This is the fault of our player trainers who make us look slow and disinterested. Why can’t people just remember we won the league last year and stop complaining that we should have won more? Why do people just keep focusing on all the opportunities we threw away like losing to Plymouth, Newcastle and being 1-0 going to Anfield against PSG? Why do people disrespect the fugazi run? Why is it even called the fugazi run to begin with? He won the league using Klopp’s team and Klopp’s ethos for half the year. Doesn’t that show how much of a genius he is? Give him a break people.

Where’s the passion? The anger? The guy would make a great accountant

Not up to the standard of Liverpool. Wow
I think it's 48 games we've played this season yet Slot still can't fix basic problems. All he does is complain about issues passing the blame even though they're caused by him.
He took one of the best teams in Europe and turned us into the shite we see now. To spend 450m on some of the best young players around and still manage to make them worse.
No player will want to join us in the summer if Slot is still manager. Get Slot out now so we have a chance of CL qualification.

Not up to the standard of Liverpool, true, but Slot, this is your standard..

Maybe you are the one who isn't up the standard mate.

He said we just didn't take our chances incl. the penalty, and City were outperforming their xG

And he’s right
But it was still shit
Because frankly, Citeh just had more energy, control, movement, tempo and the bench was much better too

Well that was a waste of money, and frankly, the worst they move played this year (2026)
There’s just no bite, no desire, no aggression to stop their opponents play and win duels etc
Although it was still nice to get on the away trip
Man Citeh supporters have to be ashamed though
Couldn’t even sell their own seats
Big club? My Arse!

If only we employed someone tasked with setting standards.

„When playing PSG you have to defend better“ yeah no shit sherlock. I want him to finally take accountability and responsibility for these shitty performances. All I hear are excuses („but the xG Blabla)

Remember when watching us was fun?

Slots gonna be here next season ain't he

Not a serious football club from top to bottom.

He forgot the "I am" at the beginning of that sentence.

He’s just completely ran out of things to say.

Perhaps he should pull his finger out of his arse and actually coach the team? We have some incredible players but he’s space jammed them all with his ‘tactics’

Man's come and ruined one of those most feared clubs in the world, bangs out the same excuses xg, standards etc. Bruh you're the coach, you're the one we look to to set those standards. Maybe look in the mirror, I'm so sick of his horseshit. Every week I expect a sacking announcement, every week I'm disappointed

Arne Slot Penitentiary…

Cabbage head just sack him already
