Liverpool FC Premier League Champions 25/26 - Talk /Gossip/Rumours

The other issue being a lot of these players are heading to the World Cup so any new manager will at best have 4 weeks between final and start of new season.

That's a good point. It could end up another dead season for a rebuild. Move on a new manager now and hopefully scrape a CL place which absolutely cannot be lost. Keep with Slot and despite 5 places up for grabs, we miss out.

Like exactly.

Is it really strange to think another manager get more out of this sqaud when you see what others are achieving with their relative resources/managers?

What was Jones at, at first I was thinking '' well done for winning it back '' and then he runs towards our goal with ball, not up field and away from danger, nope this **** brings ball closer to our goal, and plays it to an under pressure Alisson

I think he's trying to dampen the energy, trying to keep the team more robotic. It's not necessarily a bad thing when you already have a good mentality and are chasing a league title because it enables you to drown out the pressure. But when the team is floundering, and no clear direction, then I think it just keeps resetting them every game, like a broken record. They go out, and have to find a rhythm and intensity in every single game, instead of having it from the get go carried from the previous game and the dressing room. It's why we can't score in the first half, and also why sudden triggers like conceding a goal snap them back awake again.

I just remembered we have to play them again on Friday too, my word what can we expect from that. Probably be a fair bit of handbags on the go too, touch wood no significant injuries.

Mentality monsters no longer.

I'd also say that a good few of the goals we are conceding this season are down to individual errors but the same can be said for our goals, just waiting for a minute of magic.

I'm 90% sure Slot will leave during the summer. We have a very good first 11 and and a few good backups but we do need to add players.

We've missed Wirtz the last few games which is no surprise but I think Ekitike could do with playing a few less minutes, he looks like he's tiring in the second half of games now and he's not affecting games as much late on.

We have become a team of Michael Carricks...
That game tonight was turgid, laboured, pedestrian and absolutely awful to watch.
The trajectory and the performances of the team as coached by Arne surely speak for themselves?

The "battle" for 5th is well and truly underway and I have no confidence that a team set up by Slot can secure that without a significant degree of luck.
Luck that a squad of our quality shouldn't need to rely on.

I did a rough tot and estimated we will get 14 points from the remaining games totaling 62 ~ AI predicts 64/65. This should secure 5th but we cant foresee what fatigue will do given the current rinse and repeat team seletionn and tactics.

Arne lost respect when he didn't deal with the Salah issue properly. He looked weak imo. It was a tough once for him tbf.

He's 100% gone in the summer imo. Salah probably is too.

Like someone said already - the owners need to make a decision soon. Sticking with slot into next season could have significant long lasting implications. We could lose a few players this summer if CL football is gone. It’s just nowhere near good enough.

Yeah, Ekitike looks tired. Would prefer to see Chiesa get 45 to 60 and then bring a fresher Ekitike on

5 places for CL saves us hopefully. Was a serious lack of running tonight when Wolves broke.

Yeah you’re probably right. Just the idea of going into another season with Slot and with the same old ideas that don’t work is a very depressing thought. We need a change in the summer or we could seriously regress as a club.
