Liverpool banter 8

16 May 2026 13:44:02
Do we actually need to chant Slot out at the final match to show FSG that they need to intervene here?

16 May 2026 14:05:40
The fact it's two (potentially 3) legends' final appearances for the club, you'd love it to be a huge atmosphere at the game and not one overshadowed by discontent.

However, play on the pitch feeds the crowd, and performances have been awful now for quite some time.

16 May 2026 14:07:57
Can't see it happening, Taurus01.

16 May 2026 14:16:03
Hopefully Bournemouth and Brighton drop the ball before we even get to the final day.
I cringe when I think of the awkwardness of Anfield on the last home match, with mixed emotions of needing to still secure CL, wanting to farewell our legends, and presumably continuing to express desire to get rid of Slot.

16 May 2026 14:19:24
Summed it up perfectly there, Faith.

16 May 2026 14:20:28
The awkwardness can be avoided by sacking Slot today.

16 May 2026 14:29:10
We won't, because that wouldn't be the Liverpool way or some other garbage.
Liverpool is such an awesome club and city, but the collective expectations of many fans are a long way behind just how capable it is.


Slot should be booed out the building for the results, the arrogance, the lack of care for the city, the gaslighting of the fanbase, and the general failure in the duty of care for the team. Good riddance.

16 May 2026 15:10:44
It might happen if we finish 7th.

16 May 2026 15:21:17
100%, loud and clear, right from the first whistle, I say, don't even bother waiting for things to go bad on the pitch; leave FSG with no doubt whatsoever.

16 May 2026 13:30:51
Ed001 I don't understand what could possibly be so wrong with what Alonso wants and what we are offering.
Because if he is willing to take over at Chelsea because he is not getting much input there unless they are changing everything for him.


They are a true mess and I think if Alonso has any true interest in being our manager I think he is walking away from it by going to Chelsea.

16 May 2026 13:57:53
What is he supposed to do, wait around a year to see if we come calling again?

16 May 2026 13:58:01
The Chelsea job is available, the Liverpool job is not. What is so hard for people to understand.

Chelsea are a bizarrely run club with some unconventional decisions being made, but it almost kind of works. With the right manager, they could be a real force, perhaps Alonso could be that manager, good luck to him.

16 May 2026 14:19:09
I think that Xabi didn't jump into a role after he left Real Madrid says a lot.

All speculation, but if it is us he wants, he will wait until we've cleared up whatever it is we need to before making a call.

But how long is a piece of string, really.

If he is getting itchy feet and wants to secure his next job then go for it, bro!

But I Rekon just wait. 😎

Or, this is all a smokescreen and then he's confirmed Liverpool manager after the season like (some of) the ITKs have been saying. 🤙🏽

16 May 2026 14:45:53
I seriously doubt it with all the noise around the Chelsea job, Faith, though we can only hope. I'm sure that if the decision was made tonight and we came back with our tails between our legs to Xabi, he'd jump at the chance to come to us. Not sure that's happening any time soon though.

16 May 2026 15:25:35
No-one would reasonably expect Alonso to wait around a year, but... it's mid-May.

The FA Cup final is on, the CL hasn't been played, the playoff final isn't decided, the league title could go down to the last game.

Maybe wait until late June before getting desperate and taking the Chelsea job.

16 May 2026 15:30:40
As I've been saying since January, Alonso's a smart bloke; he's not going to take just any old offer that's thrown at him. He sees what a disaster his season's been with Edwards/Hughes doing the transfers and the coach having to hodgepodge an unbalanced team. If Edwards doesn't relinquish some control over the transfer policy, Alonso's not going to be keen.

We just witnessed how devastating the lack of cohesive vision between coach and execs can be. After the appalling treatment he received in Madrid, Xabi will not be willing to leave so much decisive power on the table going forward as he looks to get his career back on track.

16 May 2026 13:17:04
I would be very interested to see the results of a blind/secret ballot of who the players want us manager next season, including players that are about to leave.
Don't think there will be many votes with Mr Arne Slot on them.
Nice guy, thanks for last year, but it is time to move onto pastures new.

16 May 2026 12:53:20
Was anyone at the game last night? Did our fans leave early/boo?

16 May 2026 15:32:52
There was no booing, only because there was nobody left at the final whistle. The Liverpool fans were long gone. I wasn't there, just what I've read.

16 May 2026 12:53:15
Last night slapped 4-2. Dom with a major mistake.

Today Dom posts various Instagram photos all of which include him eating / advertising maccies.

Not the best look in the world mate.

16 May 2026 13:46:20
Surprised he didn't start shrugging at the fans, or start blaming them for leaving early.

16 May 2026 14:01:03
Apparently it was a paid sponsorship type thing that was scheduled to go up at a certain time regardless of what happened in the match. It certainly comes off as being tonedeaf, given what's been going on. Regardless, the ad looks a bit silly with him dressed to the nines and carrying a McDonald's paper bag, I would say.

16 May 2026 14:02:07
I'd get rid of Dom unless we can get a Hendo Milly Gerrard type in there to put him in his place.

16 May 2026 14:04:42
Captain material.

16 May 2026 14:44:07
McDonald's Hungary decided when to post. Linking up with McDonald's as a professional athlete is ridiculous though.

16 May 2026 15:51:56
No. 8, relax, it's a sponsorship deal, not a day in the life. Back in the day, Southgate and co did a shocker of Pizza Hut ad. Shearer did Maccie D's. They were a league sponsor at one stage; all the players had black cards, apparently. Pepsi had an unbelievable star-studded lineup for their campaigns: literally everyone from Henry to Figo, Ronaldinho, Messi and more.

Pirlo, Cafu and others did Maccies for the '18 World Cup. Ronaldo's done Coca-Cola and KFC despite religiously promoting healthy eating. Somebody did Dominos before, can't remember who though.

16 May 2026 12:39:52
Has he left yet?

16 May 2026 13:32:19
Yes, mate, his flight took off 40 mins ago, and he's due to land in Ibiza at 16:20 for a well deserved 6 day R&R break before the Brentford game interrupts his time off.

16 May 2026 13:40:14
Exactly what I thought, JK...
Hoping it's hot in Ibiza, and he runs out of sunscreen.

16 May 2026 13:40:15
Rumour is that next season he will work remotely from NL or Ibiza, saving him a fortune in flights.

16 May 2026 14:10:42
I wouldn't put it past the clowns upstairs that LFC fork out for his flights, Mcg.

16 May 2026 12:36:36
Carra The Fields, can I ask in your honest opinion, are we stuck with these 🤡🤡🤡? No, Alonso going to Chelsea, VictorGoodman says he stays, Robbo is saying Irola. What's going to really happen? 🙏

16 May 2026 12:36:04
I can only think we’ve not got rid of Slot because there is a coach/manager currently employed elsewhere - and that contract is due up this summer.

16 May 2026 13:23:51
If we're going for that cretin Nagelsmann then our judgment truly is screwed.

16 May 2026 14:06:09
Didn't Nagelsmann rule out working outside Germany?

16 May 2026 12:25:53
If you thought things couldn't get any worse, we'll carry on with slotball and what would hurt is if Alonso goes to Chelsea and they finish above us.
Slot saying we are underestimating what a transfer window could do. We've already done that.

16 May 2026 13:41:49
They might finish above us next season, but it might only be 8th.
