Liverpool FC - Talk /Gossip/Rumours 25/25

It's the results on the pitch, the performance (regardless of results), the views of the players, the fans (regardless of what some think) and a plethora of other factors that are behind his sacking.

All would have been weighed up and (imo) the correct decision was made. There was no turnaround forthcoming because Slot didn't demonstrate he was able to.

I really don’t want it to be Iraola.

It's all about opinion. Klopp turned it around after a poor season so there's a possibility that Slot might of been able.

Klopp was a different manager tbf tho.

Emery

Sky said about a month / 6 weeks ago that no team had more 0-0s than Bournemouth and that no team had conceded more set piece goals. How many Bournemouth games did you watch this season to warrant this excitement?

You could at least add they sold four of their primary defenders from last season and still finished 3 points behind Slots Liverpool. His teams are well coached, engaged with high energy and a trust in young talent. Something integral within Liverpool's culture.

Transferring that to a squad with some bad attitude twats is going to be the question. As is the energy demands of an extra 15 games a season at Liverpool but hey why let insight inform your opinion?

Is that really a reply to my post? What opinion exactly are you disagreeing with? I gave two stats and asked a question.

As a matter of interest, given Rio got more minutes in the PL than any other player his age, what other young players should have got more PL minutes this season?

Conceding a heap of set piece goals doesnt scream ‘well coached’ to me. But maybe bedding in new defenders is an excuse for the season

Can't say I watched them intently now but did pay more attention lately when Iraola was mentioned.Yeah 5 0-0 draws but also unbeaten in their last 18 league games and only losing once in 2026 to Arsenal at the start of the year so Iraola can't be a total idiot ,as for the set-piece thing I'm surprised that isn't us.You're obviously not a fan of his which is fair enough.

With all that has gone on tonight with the CL final, I never copped this.

Not one Liverpool player has said a word, publicly, about Slot leaving. Not one message of support, thank you, apology etc. Not even an obvious PR team message. Salah was pillared for his outspoken message, but it is very obvious with all the players that echoed his sentiment, and added to the constant rumours this season of senior players wanting to leave like MacAllister, Alisson, Jones and ultimately Salah, Robbo & Konate. Yesterday, suddenly, both Gomez and Alisson are staying and today Slot is gone. Coincidence?

Anyways, overall I won't lay the boot into Slot personally. Unfortunately this season didn't work for a multitude of reasons. He was dealt a terrible hand and he handled it how he did. It was difficult for anyone to deal with it, but unfortunately top level football is cut throat and he didn't perform well enough. He came across arrogant at times, and the connection with fans and players was damaged beyond repair at a time when the club, the players and the fans needed it the most.

He won us a league and I really hope that everyone remembers him for that reason the most. He deserves respect for that, and also nobody can take that away from him. Was it Klopp's team? Yes. Is it Klopp's medal? No, it's Slot. You can't take that away from him. I hope his memory of Liverpool is that defining fact. Hopefully he can have a decent career elsewhere, and a he'll always have that Premier League champion medal.

Slot to AC Milan doing the rounds.

I'd love to be a sports journalist - just write random shite and sometimes it'll be right.if it is true, I hope it works out for him.

Yep. Except when they played teams where Bournemouth had the most possession and the opponents had defensive lines for Bournemouth to break down. Then they werent always as good. But against the big teams when they could play on the break, they were usually a great watch.

Half the squad value and wage bill of Liverpool, Salah representing a third of their wage bill all for a three point differential. And as mentioned selling their primary back four.
