Liverpool Banter 3

I bet Slot has flown home for Easter. Big holiday for the Dutch. He must have loved the early kick-off as it got him home by tea time.

04 Apr 2026 16:50:13
Didn't he slip off before kick off? That was a cardboard cut out.

They should all take minimum wage for the rest of the month and donate the rest to charity. Absolute shambles after the penalty, no fight, no courage. 8,000 travelling fans to watch heads drop at the first sign of adversity.
Get rid of Slot before we get embarrassed in Europe.

Yet again: 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.

04 Apr 2026 19:49:45
SR, don't worry. It will always be someone else's fault other than the manager.

Dear Liverpool FC
I’m walking up to come and finish the season off as the 1st team coach.
I’ll even do it for free. For the love of Liverpool Football Club.
I’ve seen enough. I’d get more out of that squad than the coaching staff that we currently have.

04 Apr 2026 17:14:50
Bring the chicken and a Stella have everyone and the fishing rods.

04 Apr 2026 15:47:11
Disappointing that the owners don’t see the value in getting Slot out now, I guarantee we don’t get top 5 as it stands.
The defence is abysmal. They look like conceding every time to opposition break.

04 Apr 2026 20:26:34
I agree 55.

04 Apr 2026 15:38:15
It's very telling that our away support were very vocal in singing Gerrard's song. Maybe a veiled way of calling for slot to go without calling for slot to go?

04 Apr 2026 17:05:46
Was that the Gerrard Gerrard song Que Sera Sera?

04 Apr 2026 17:26:01
Not the first time I've heard it this season.

04 Apr 2026 15:27:56
Ed001 I really don't think that city side is anywhere special at all In fact I think it's pretty weak.
So saying that we have played them 3 times now scored 1 and conceded 9. I see the other day people saying PSG won't hammer us well I am absolutely dreading Wednesday night because I think PSG are a monster of side compared to city.

04 Apr 2026 16:32:37
Grino what are you on weak you need to get to specsavers mate

04 Apr 2026 17:37:41
Grab it should say anything special. But, am guessing I did not see it select the word for me.
But I don't get the question, what you on weak, I need to go to Specsavers?

04 Apr 2026 15:27:45
Well, just seen on Sky. The stats say it was a very even contest. Possession and touches in opposition box were equal.


Uuuummm and that is why Slot can defend himself to the spread sheet stat squad and stays in the job until the summer.

I don’t actually see where Ekitike plays if Isak is in the middle, Isak before this season is on a different level to Eki. Eki’s role can only be a sub and cup games, absolutely nowhere near good enough on the wings. I actually rate Gakpo higher than him on the wings and Gakpo is abysmal.

His lack of fight and general effort is already concerning, he comes across as believing his hype, but can only ever deliver when the team is doing well and there’s no pressure.

Same with Wirtz, for the money spent on him, you would expect them to be the ones offering something in these games, the shining light, but as I expected of him, he’s just a nothing player. Plays ok when the team is doing well, but any kind of adversity or pressure and he just goes missing.

Slots been abysmal, but so have these big money signings or ‘once in a generation’ players as we keep hearing on here.

Once in a generation players aren’t affected by lost managers or downturn in form. They can smash a 30 yarder out of nothing, they can pull a team back from 3-0 down, they fight and drag the team forward no matter what.

We have so many overpaid, pathetically weak players, I don’t care if they are unhappy with the manager, you are a professional, act it. We have way too many players who are just expecting rather than working. I think this is actually the start of our Man U era, when they bought the likes of De light, Ugarte, Hoijlund, Yoro, Zirkzee etc.

Ekitike, Wirtz, Jaquet, Grav, all remind me of those, hyped, but don’t actually have the fight or personality to pull you out of the situations we are currently in.

04 Apr 2026 16:31:45
Spot on Bob, glad someone's called it like it is.

04 Apr 2026 16:35:59
Bob le ponge you serious jaquet hasn't even played a game and your slagging him off really you need to get on a different site mate

04 Apr 2026 16:44:01
Harsh to lay the blame at Wirtz - if Salah wasn't greedy and got his head up, he'd see Wirtz made a great run into the box. Anything good from us in the 1st half also came through Wirtz.

04 Apr 2026 16:44:46
Disagree strongly.
Hugo and Wirtz have been good signings, they're still in their first season.
Kerkez has also come good.

We have no energy and no steel in midfield.
Secondly, VVD has lost his mojo and Becker can't stay fit.
Those 2 players transformed Klopp's team into winners.

Without them, we weren't winning anything.

We have never replaced Fabinho and Hendo. We've relied on VVD's ability to adapt, which is now diminished.

The spine of the team is weak as p. and other teams know it.
It's going to take some good recruitment and some good coaching to stop the rot.

04 Apr 2026 16:57:56
Why not go for Villa's McGinn. He would help provide a bit of bite in the midfield, a mean who could or would step up as the midfield enforcer.

04 Apr 2026 17:08:59
Can't say I disagree with any of that tbh! Under Klopp we signed players with a point to prove, Salah coming back to the prem with a point to prove, Mane stepping up from Southampton with a point to prove! The players we have signed all have quality but they do lack fight! Ekitike has looked very good but his work rate is a concern, or maybe he's being told to play like that, who knows.

Did you write his Wikipedia? "McGinn has a low centre of balance, allowing him to deploy an unusual running style, where his body remains low to the ground.[77] He has unusually large buttocks which he uses to shield the ball and turn opponents, as well as draw fouls from defenders; in interviews, McGinn has poked fun at his own build, commenting that "no one" has a backside as large as his."

Club needs a clean out.
Regardless of now or the Summer. A major clean out. Throughout the club, from top positions to throughout the squad. A rut was allowed to rot in since October. There's no balls above slot and the club and fans have lost out in what it seems a full season of football. What we've had to endure has been worse than dire because it's been allowed to continue on for far too long.
I'm not sure on Alonso of he is to come in with some of the "characters".

We have in that squad. There's real weak links in that team. Mentally and physically that have been carried. There's traits that have been fully exposed that show me they shouldn't be here.
The squad as I will repeat is not right at all. It also lacks leader's and winner's. That team was carried last season by virg and Salah. Both are finished and everyone is getting exposed for what they are.
