First game in years I chose to skip because I didn't think it'd be worth getting up at 430am to watch slotball lead to another loss.
Still fuming at our club after seeing the result. Embarrassing. How is slot still here? I've been saying it since December, but he's now doing long term damage to the fitness and mentality of our players. Why let him dig such a deep hole for our next manager to have to pull the team out of? It's disgusting and unforgivable.
I'm really at a loss for words with how angry I am that this entire season is being wasted and our trajectory is now downward. Even if we get a new manager this summer, with the wasted time on the WC, it's going to be a miracle to get this team fit and ready for next season now.

04 Apr 2026 19:12:23 Snuggle, you must be West Coast US/Can like me. Same, I used to never miss an early match. Apathy has been my dominant emotion since November.
If we compare this to the 7 stages of an empire, I think it's fair to say that this season began in stage 5 w Arne's "Age of Intellect." We quickly moved on to the "Age of Decadence" and the last few months firmly into the "Age of Decline and Collapse."
Hopefully August will see yet another "Age of Pioneers and Conquest."
Not the team, the board. Slot should have been sacked in November. I said at the time that prolonging it would only make things worse, and here we are.
Whoever has made the decisions to stick with him should be sacked immediately. I don't care who it is, they are negligent cowards and have no place being at the club.
No surprise today - had that been the City of 2 years ago it would have been double figures.
No idea why PSG campaigned to get that game v Lens moved, they could play two games a day between now and Wednesday and still beat a Slot coached team.

I disagree, he should have been sacked in November. His title win earned him a bit more time, in my opinion. But, it's absolutely wild he's been allowed to go on as long as this. He should have gone a couple of months ago.

04 Apr 2026 18:56:53 What's Szobo doing to the Fans at the end there? He's got some front on him.
Just when we thought we couldn't go any lower, we manage to conjure up this performance. I know we all want Slot gone and put the blame on him, but in being engrossed in criticizing Slot, we cannot let the players go blameless. These are not academy players but high quality international players about to go to a world cup. The effort from the was non-existent. We played well till the 1st goal went in, although were toothless till then too. But the moment the 1st went in, we just gave up. That is far more concerning than the scoreline in my opinion. I think the players cannot be left without blame. I know that the tactics are the coaches', but no coach in the world can plan for Konate so easily losing Haaland for the 2nd goal, or the players just not interested in tracking the opponents for their next goals.
Salah should not be starting any of the next games in my opinion. He is just tarnishing his own legacy.
Wirtz and Ekitike are playing like they are playing for youtube highlights.
Grav tackles like a 6 year old.
Dom is fed up I guess.
This is a complete joke.
Sorry for the rant.

{Ed001's Note - but if they are all playing poorly, then it has to be an issue of coaching and tactics. Slot's job is to inspire them and get them to make an effort, they would if a good manager was in charge.}

Exactly Edl!! The new way of playing is not in the DNA of the players, which shows in them playing poorly. If one or two have off games, then fine, it can happen, but when it's the whole team, then it is a different matter.
Their talents are being suffocated by the manager. Getting Slot to change direction will not happen, he's incredibly stubborn, and knows he's done after this season. He couldn't care less, it seems. He's playing out time.

They're all fed up, because they're sick of playing for somebody who doesn't have a clue what he's doing. It's been clear as day for the best part of 6 months now. Anybody who thinks otherwise is as clueless as Slot.

It goes against what we are, but I really feel we need Anfield to stand up and make it clear he needs to go now and make sure they hear it.

04 Apr 2026 18:56:11 I hate this 'who we are' stuff. We need to be lethal, calculated, not sit there with our hands down our keks because 'it's not our way'.

04 Apr 2026 18:59:10 It looks to me like none of them want to play for this football club.

On a lighter note, because I don't want to talk about that shower, did anyone see that penalty Al Nasser won? Hands behind his back, hit him on the elbow! One of the worst decisions I've ever seen!

I know it’s frustrating and believe me I’ve wanted this fraud out since Chelsea away in October. But the season has been dead for months.
There’s only one fixture that matters and it’s PSG. None of these games matter. Zero, Zilch, Nada.
So when we get destroyed in that game that’s where the line will be drawn, but make no mistake, today didn’t matter, the prem doesn’t matter, only PSG matters.
Why? Coz the rest has been completely dead since we didn’t sack him in November and it’s a sad reality. Slot, Edwards, Hughes all need to go.

Why does PSG matter? We're not going to win.

After watching that today I'd like to see Gerrard as our next manager. Before anyone eats me, I'm not saying he's the beat manager in the world, but neither were some of our past greats prior to taking over at Liverpool! To be Liverpool manager, you need a certain personality, a passion and a commitment to Liverpool and Gerrard ticks all these boxes.
That performance today was a shambles, just like all season has been. No passion or drive in that team and one person who players would run through a brick wall for is Gerrard! For Liverpool fans football is a way of life and Stevie G knows that better than anyone.

If you were Gerrard, would you take over this s*** show with only a few games remaining? It would have been better to do it months ago. We never know, he could have been an inspiration to the team. Now it's too little too late. Roll on next season with a new manager.

Just caught the highlights on TNT. Salah should of scored his chance. Players a shadow of himself. The captain at fault for their first goal with his usual lazy leg out defending. Konate not watching Haaland for his goal. Gomez ball watching and loses his man. Van Dijk again lazy defending for the 4th.
The manager will be gone come the end of the season but the lack of interest and shocking performances want me to gut this squad and start again. Pathetic bunch of overpaid arrogant players. If we lose that's not great but all we require is effort.

{Ed001's Note - you forgot about the hopeless goalkeeping on the 3rd. He almost moved his hand out of the way. He never got set to deal with a shot at all. We really got sold a pup there.}

All the players are bad... shame as we've got a great manager.

Just rewatched that bit. Wtf is going on. Hopefully, when Jaros is fit he can start. We are turning into Utd.

Liverpool unlucky today. If City don't score 4 goals, we draw that.
Looking forward to hearing about our XG and the fact we won "Liverpool were a better team for a majority of the game" award.

For the millionth time, if you have most of a title winning team and can pick at most the players for their performances, maybe the problem isn't the players.

Virtually every goal scored, a mistake is made...

Vvd is no where near captain material imo, he should be dragging the team forward but just winges and points and I'm sure Ed1 had reservations about him being captain

04 Apr 2026 18:59:06 VVD has given up as have the squad, everyone is waiting for Slot to be sacked, too much damage has been done.
