Hi all,

The club are not impressed with Szoboszlai's antics towards away fans after yesterday's match. Word has been taken up with the player and the squad have now been fully advised about not rocking the boat further with the travelling fans. Explains Virgil's comments about giving up.

Troubling times at the club at the minute. I do not envy the PR team.

How about they avoid rocking the boat further by simply sacking Slot?

I think it was an absolute disgrace, Vic. What was he playing at?

He's been going at the fans for a few weeks now, wasn't so long ago he was almost embarrassed to celebrate the league title in front of the Kop because he probably felt like he didn't contribute much.



Now he's acting like Billy big balls coz he's the best player in a terrible terrible team. Souness would've slapped him, I'm sick to death of these lot.

Vic, ...

What do the club do when the crowd starts becoming vocal... cheering for another name... Slot for Holland... or walking out early... or even a few cards which the TV will definately pan onto...?

It's all very head in sand, and let's deal with that later...



Only one person will get asked questions, and that is Slot... as much as I don't want him coaching us... bit of a rancid situation to put him in every week... I know the football he gets us to play is rancid... but all the same.

A player who has given his all this season is allowed to voice frustration with fans.

Fans are fed up (and as one I certainly am), and trying in some way to let the powers that be know and understand this. We absolutely need a change and we have to let them know this for the sake of the club.

But at the same time Szobo probably doesn't like fans leaving/singing another manager's name, thinking it goes against supporting the team.

Which it is.

Both sides have valid points and opinions.

So I would lay off him for this personally. I love his passion. I prefer him as he is and not some sheep. Team player.

It wouldn't be odd for Alonso to want his kid to finish a school year without disruption. The next move will be for 3 + years, and there is no rush.
Edwards will get to work with his first choice, and hopefully build a new legacy akin to Klopps.

"But at the same time Szobo probably doesn't like fans leaving/singing another manager's name, thinking it goes against supporting the team."

Sorry Davey, but I simply don't agree with that.

Fans give their time, money and emotion to support their clubs. Apart from anybody who volunteers at the club, everybody else involved from playing staff to CEO has either a contractual obligation or financial interest in the club. Fans don't take a wage or a financial benefit, they give.

If a fan feels like they've seen enough at 4-0 and wants to head home, so be it.

Don't get mardy with the fans. Try giving some to your teammates who aren't tracking a runner or doing their job properly.

As for the chants - that's football. Put your big boy pants on and get over it.

Frankly, he should have been grateful there was a single fan left to apologise to after that surrender of a second half performance. He's shown excellence this year, but he's also shown some breathtaking arrogance.

Szob, imo does believe the hype around fans saying he's the best player. I'm not arsed if he doesn't sign a new contract, imo he's part of the problem, big time. Charlie, Tara lad, you're not that special. Really poor man's Gini.

It's Zidane who's rocking the boat.

In my opinion, yesterday anyone part of that team or coaching staff yesterday that was either surprised or angered by the travelling fans leaving early are living in cloud cuckoo land.

This arrogance towards the fans is the worst thing about this club. Sadly, a lot of it comes from other fans still stuck in the days of paying £10 a ticket, where the average PL player wasn't earning 200 times more than the average fan, and where supporting a team actually meant that.


When fans are paying £80 a ticket, they can cheer or moan when they damn well please, and the players should show gratitude towards them regardless.

Even the commentator said, "Szoboslai looks like he has given up and isn't bothering to track back," after the third goal went in. If Dom had already mentally left the stadium, he can't blame the fans.
Scored some worldie free kicks but gives up when the going gets tough. Sounds like prime Real Madrid material.

I love how quickly people rewrite history. Dom has one moment of humanity where he shows frustration at fans leaving 30 minutes early, and now he's prt of the problem and a poor mans Wijnaldum?

He's been our best player this season by a mile is is arguably the best midfielder to play for us since Steven Gerrard. Last week people wanted him as the next captain! I agree with Dom by the way, fans walking out early is a disgrace regardless of the score line or performance. We can't profess to be the best fans in the world and have the audacity to sing You'll Never Walk Alone if we think it's okay to abandon the team with half an hour left on the clock. If a handful of people leave 5 minutes early on a midweek game because they have a train to catch, fair enough. But a lunchtime kick off on a Saturday? If you left early you didn't deserve a ticket in the first place.

I do think Szoboszlai should have walked away as you cannot properly convey your thoughts with arm gestures and facial expressions. However I remember a man who about 10 years ago called out our fans for leaving early when the team were losing. That man was Jurgen Klopp, arguably the best figurehead this great club has had since Bill Shankly. Maybe some of you think you know better than Jurgen and think walking out virtually en masse is totally acceptable? Simple fact is, it's not. You're supposed to be a supporter. If you are in the stadium on matchday, you support for the full 90 minutes. It's really that simple. Otherwise, keep your mouth shut during the YNWA song because your words are hollow and empty anyway. You certainly don't go singing another managers name, that is a complete and utter disgrace. I want Slot sacked as much as anyone, but when I go to the games, for 90 minutes I am fully behind every single person representing our team.

I think maybe our fans (they don't deserve to be called supporters) need to have a long hard look at themselves. Talking about arrogance from Dom? Arrogance is fans thinking you have a god given right to win games and win trophies. Arrogance is not a footballer thinking the crowd should support the team through thick and thin.

I've no problems with supporters venting frustrations online or after full time in the pub. That's part of why we all love football, but on match day for god sake get behind the team. What would you all be behaving like if you were in Ed025's shoes and had been watching Everton flounder for the last 30 years? Maybe the blues are the better half of the City.

Good post, MK Scouser
Agree fully. Rather than leaving with 30 minutes left, get behind the players and sing your heart out. Yes, the football is at times turgid, but you support your team through the good times and the not so good. Get back to being the twelfth man.

{Ed001's Note - people doing that is why Slot is still here. They back him until the crowd turns.}

MK, on a basic level I agree with you, mate, but I think you've got this particular one wrong.

Like you, I would never, and have never, left a game early. I also completely agree if you're there you support them with all you can.

That being said, football fans can only ever air their grievances with their feet or their voices. That isn't a Liverpool thing, that's just how it is football wise, whether you like it or not. This has happened at every club at some point, and to think otherwise is a bit disingenuous.

This isn't about a team not winning. It's about a team seriously underperforming and, perhaps far more importantly, a perceived couldn't be bothered attitude from the playing staff.

In that context you cannot blame some fans wanting to air those frustrations. I don't agree with it, but I understand it.

The point with Dom is he was taking a pop at the fans who stayed. That's a shocking way to react to fans who did stay and did offer their support. He wasn't having a go at those that left. It's incredibly naive at best.

We are talking about a guy who ballsed a needless backheel up to gift a goal earlier in the season. Who followed up the team's dog turd of a performance against Wolves with a brainless social media post re Vini J. Now this.

I think Dom is a baller and he has everything to lead this team, but he hasn't gone about showing it the best way this season at times.

Think this is the first apparent mis-step Dom has had at the club. And, for many, it's curtains for him.

That is pretty fricking ridiculous if you ask me.

Wassa, to me it just felt as though he was trying to send a message to the fans in general. I think he went the complete wrong way about it. Like you say, the fans who had stayed were not to blame for those who had left and also you cannot read body language well enough from a distance to know what he was trying to say anyway. I think he should've put himself forward for the interview after the game and directly called out the people who left 30 minutes early. The backheel was a crazy mistake, but at the same time many of us football fans bemoan the fact that the game has lost characters and flair. We miss the likes of Begkamp, Cantona, Ronaldinho etc who would entertain us. Yet now when a player tries something and gets it wrong we all lose our minds? We can't have our cake and eat it, surely.

We got smashed 4-0 at the weekend and everyone seems more preoccupied with Ekitike swapping shirts and Dom being upset at fans leaving early. Two of our better players this season by the way. It just feels like misdirected anger to me, and when people love their club, the emotions can be very raw and quite ferocious when we're hurting as much as we all are this year. So I get it, but it doesn't mean I agree with it.

Ed001, I take your point and it is a very good point well made, but I just don't think it should be the crowds responsibility to get a manager sacked by walking out or singing to replace the manager. If Hughes and Edwards are so incompetent that they need the crowd to show them when Slot is failing, then they need to be sacked too. The crowds are there to support the team and create an atmosphere. I don't mind people booing at full time even. I wouldn't do it personally, but if you feel let down as a supporter, by all means voice that at full time. I just don't think people should be leaving with a third of the game left, nor should they be singing Gerrard's name at Arne Slot during the game. We all love a rant with our mates or on social media, but when it becomes that direct it starts to border on the line of what's acceptable in my opinion. I don't think it's too dissimilar to messaging players on their private social media accounts to give them grief in the stadium. They're still human regardless of how rich and famous they are.

{Ed001's Note - I know Edwards and Hughes should be sacked, they should never have been appointed, but the crowd need to turn for FSG to see that.}

Regardless of the fans showing their dissent. Surely, the owners can see from the results and performances something is not right. If they can't see this, then there are bigger concerns. Do clubs have a team who monitor social media, such as this site?
