Liverpool banter 10

08 Apr 2026 23:52:13
Said we should have fired Slot a few days before the City game. More than half of the people on here basically said "what's the point now? Just wait till the season ends".

Well, considering we were still in the FA Cup, UCL and fighting for top 4. Now look at the ucking state of us. Smashed by City, PSG embarrassed us and I have no confidence against Fulham. Not getting top 4 will be a disaster.

People on here should have a word with themselves.

09 Apr 2026 05:59:10
Have a word with ya self, making up stories.
Like it or not, that was a great result and a good performance last night.
I still want Slot gone, I still question Virgil's captaincy. But I'm not fuming at the players like I was on Saturday. There was some fight and care in there.

And, top 4 doesn't matter, 5th is what we need.

09 Apr 2026 06:24:12
We will not get 5th place. Edwards and Hughes have blown it and will be shown the door in the summer along with Slot. They had plenty of time to react, but obviously did not think anyone else could do a better short term job. I disagree, but this mess we are in is because people who are paid vast amounts of money to take decisions didn't.

They chose the easy route. In my opinion, that is not leadership and not what the club needed. Slot should have been removed months ago, it was the right call. All that has happened is 3 people have had their reputations damaged unnecessarily out of either stubbornness or incompetence. That for me is such a shame, it didn't need to be like this.

09 Apr 2026 06:46:41
"Like it or not, that was a great result and a good performance last night."

That could well be one of the most depressing posts I've ever read on here.

If you honestly believe that, then our standards couldn't really fall much lower.

09 Apr 2026 07:13:02
It's okay mate I got told to lighten up after the City game because I said Slot is clueless. He is either very stupid or purposely sabotaging this club.

09 Apr 2026 07:27:53
Wassa, that PSG side is a phenom - starting to look as effective as Pep's best teams, Zidane's Real and our best Klopp side. Holding that to 2-0 ain't a bad effort. I've not had much good to say about our performances this season but that was solid.

{Ed025's Note - how was that solid?, you were very lucky not to 5 or 6 down and had 30% of the ball and not a shot on target mate..

09 Apr 2026 07:33:13
"Like it or not, that was a great result"?

Eds; any chance of getting a thumbs down button added to this site?

{Ed025's Note - some posts you just have to ignore and skip past so as not to give it any credence Red7, ...this is one of them mate..

09 Apr 2026 07:48:31
kjh2477 you're talking utter BS

09 Apr 2026 07:55:36
"Like it or not, that was a great result and a good performance last night."

Absolutely delusional. There was nothing great about the performance. No shots on target and less than 30% possession. They carved us open at will, and we looked devoid of any answers.

If you think next Tuesday is going to be any different, you're sorely mistaken. Slot has no answers to this, the team is disorganised and unfit. Last night was every bit as awful as Bodgers' attempt at damage limitation against Madrid.

09 Apr 2026 08:23:47
I must have watched a different game last night.

In fairness to kjh, the game he watched, Rushie, Barnes and King Kenny were our stand out performers.

09 Apr 2026 10:15:54
My glasses are tinted as red as it gets and even I can't say that was a good performance. In fact, I can't find any positives in going to Paris and rolling over to have our tummies tickled.

09 Apr 2026 09:41:02
@kjh2477, what that football are you on about? A great performance? You saw fight? Really, you saw that? With what eyes? Slot's?

Mate, you must be on Slot's payroll because that was the most insane take of the game I have heard. Jeez Louise, just stop.

08 Apr 2026 23:29:04.
Well that was a massive disappointment, the players are all over the shop! I have to say that the tactics were terrible.
We set up to press in a group when on the wings but had no one in the middle to break play up! I rate Grav but he is not a holder and should be playing with a defensive mid. Macca has dropped a huge level since last season and I believe our midfield is a huge problem!
Wirtz and Gomes are the only 2 players that can hold their head up a little, no support for Wirtz up top and you can see he is a world class player.


Last rant has to be Frimpong, he was awful and should be no where near this team! We need a RB and a holder next year if we want to improve.

09 Apr 2026 09:43:52
@Kiwi, why is it a massive disappointment? Once the back 5 (something Slot has never played), along with the players he put out (Wirtz on the right, Ekitike on the left and Szobo in the false 9), should have told you what was coming. Cos that is what all the above nonsense showed me from the off.



We played the way we always play as in, no press, no intensity, no bite, no thrust. I can keep going, hence why I don't get why this is disappointing. We've been seeing this rubbish all season, have we not?

08 Apr 2026 23:16:57
Arne sent that team not to get hammered, and on another day PSG could have scored 5. I remember Brenda doing something similar vs Real Madrid not long before he got the axe.
From losing on pens to them a year ago to surrendering this time around says it all about how far backwards Slot has taken us. 400 million pounds later.

I think this has to be the time to get some sort of bounce for the 2nd leg to perhaps save our season.


Give it to Stevie for the remaining games and bring in Xabi in the summer.
If Stevie can't turn it around with results then at least he could bring some energy and passion so we can enjoy the last games of the season.
It's massively clear that Slot has run out of ideas, has lost the dressing room and 90% of fans want him out.
Someone sack him please.

09 Apr 2026 00:09:35
What's the point now? Season is over. Should have been weeks back, and we could have ridden some of that momentum.

09 Apr 2026 00:15:35
There's still a chance to qualify for the Champions League if Slot is sacked.

09 Apr 2026 02:17:52
5-7 points if he stays. Won't be enough. Not sure what manager we could bring in, but I'd settle for Ron at this point.

09 Apr 2026 04:50:38
Ron Atkinson? Controversial.

09 Apr 2026 05:40:22
Lol. I had to look up if he's still singing along to Simple Minds.

09 Apr 2026 09:46:04
"Arne sent that team not to get hammered, and on another day PSG could have scored 5. I remember Brenda doing something similar vs Real Madrid not long before he got the axe."


This is exactly what I posted in a thread today.

For me, Slot sabotaged that game and put that team out to get slaughtered cos imo, he wanted them punished for showing him up to be a clueless knob for the world to see at the Etihad.

09 Apr 2026 10:10:28
I agree with all of that Redman apart the £400m bit. I do wish people would stop saying Slot spent £400m+ and made us worse.

That completely ignores the £300m+ of talent we lost in the summer which has to be taken into account if you're using money spent as a stick to beat him with.

You can spend £1bn on players but if you lose £900m it's not going to make you much better and will probably make you worse.

Bottom line, we lost some very good players in the summer but replaced them with some very good players. It was inevitable there would be a period of adjustment especially given the tragedy the team went through just before preseason started.

This now though is way beyond a period of adjustment. This is bordering on a capitulation. This squad is good enough to compete against the best in Europe but instead we go to PSG with no intention to compete and just try to keep the score down.

That is completely unacceptable in my eyes and not what Liverpool Football Club is, has been or will ever be about.

Slot has lost the fans and probably the players too so he has to go.

08 Apr 2026 23:06:28
No matter how good the opposition is.

UCL quarter final and that's the way we set up. Not remotely good enough, rubbish.

Cheers for the league title Arne but see you later.

08 Apr 2026 23:04:45.
Our midfield double pivot must be the most fragile, weak and slowest in the league!
Again, they can't breakup play, can't tackle, can't win second balls and can't pass particularly well either.
This is the area of the team that desperately needs changing and upgrading more than any other.
Absolutely dire.

09 Apr 2026 07:29:36
Every great team we've had had an amazing front two or three. Unless Wirtz and Isak produce the goods over the remainder of the season we're in bigger trouble than just a failing midfield.

09 Apr 2026 09:47:22
Overkill, Wirtz and Isak will do nothing under this manager cos Isak is coming back from a leg break, while Wirtz is being played as a wide forward in a 5-3-2 formation. That is the reality.

08 Apr 2026 23:00:09
Hi Ed001, can you sum up tonight's performance in a few words? The catch is that no expletives are allowed ;-)

{Ed001's Note - without expletives? Spineless, pathetic performance by a bunch of individuals who couldn't care less. I am growing to seriously dislike Slot at the moment.}

09 Apr 2026 00:29:09
I think we could sum it up in a few others, Tris.

Complete and total surrender. Embarrassing.

09 Apr 2026 06:05:21
Uninspiring. Even Wrexham would beat this team and performance.

09 Apr 2026 09:48:28
Ed01, I thought Slot sent the boys out to get absolutely trounced on purpose with a system Slot himself had never played and was new to the players.

{Ed001's Note - he played it against Palace.}

08 Apr 2026 22:44:44
Reminds me of the Real Madrid
game under Rodgers. I went. Got caught up in the atmosphere and put £10 on a Balotelli hat trick. He was subbed at half time.
Memories.

08 Apr 2026 23:44:43
Exactly how I felt about tonight, same energy. Slot should be sacked in the morning.

09 Apr 2026 09:49:23
Spot on, @flidby. I called it sabotage and Slot putting out that team in that formation to get slaughtered on purpose.

08 Apr 2026 22:20:38
Well, tomorrow I'll be looking for a post from Carra. 🤞

08 Apr 2026 22:36:31
Didn't he say he's here until the season ends regardless.

08 Apr 2026 22:37:21
Allow me.

"Sorry lads, they're still not sacking him because they're more spineless than David Moores.

Ta."

Carra can't report a sacking that's not going to happen.

08 Apr 2026 22:43:26
I'll be fuming if we sacked him now. What's the point?

No interim manager could sort this out now, it's far, far too late. Alonso couldn't turn this around. He wouldn't get top 5 or beat PSG, and be starting just to finish off a failure of a Slot season.

There was a time where this season could've been saved, but the people in charge rested on their laurels or simply bottled it.



Fingers must be pointed beyond Arne Slot now, Edwards and Hughes should be removed. Failure to do so, then fingers should be pointed towards FSG and they need to be forced out also.

08 Apr 2026 22:51:48
LFC8, I think you know that's not going to happen. Just a simple matter of finding a buyer, and a seller willing to sell.

08 Apr 2026 22:55:39
Edwards was brought in to run the multi club model. FSG have abandoned that plan, so Edwards is costing us £10m in wages per season.

08 Apr 2026 22:56:29
I'm with you, LFC8. May as well stay on now, the season is done.

08 Apr 2026 23:21:38
LFC8, the point is that if we don't sack him we will not only lose our CL position and may not qualify for Europe at all. We're only 6 points ahead of Sunderland in 11th, and I don't see where the next win is coming from based on the football we've been serving up. With a couple of exceptions, we've steadily gotten worse over the course of the season.

Not sacking him before was a mistake, but there's no logic to *compounding* that mistake by continuing to leave him in charge.

It'd be like if you gambled away a half the money you had, you'd just set fire to the rest cos why not?

At least, with someone else, we have some chance of them lighting a fire up the backsides of the players and getting some bit of fight out of them until the end of season and getting a couple of results.
With Slot, I don't back us to beat any team right now.

08 Apr 2026 23:35:59
I think the man available, Steven Gerrard, wants the job fulltime and that's not a good idea for the long term. I cannot think of another short term caretaker. Who do you suggest?

08 Apr 2026 23:36:55
The only thing I can think of at this point is that we want Alonso but he can't take a job with another Champions League team whilst Real Madrid are still a possible opponent.

The powers that be can't be watching that tonight and thinking Slot is a good idea.

I've not been vocal at all against Slot although I do believe he should've gone after the PSV game. That being said he did win the league last season so had credit in the bank and had a very difficult summer.



That credit ran out a long time ago and now his position has become untenable. We need to see some improvement, a plan. Unfortunately, with each game that passes it becomes more and more apparent that he's not capable of turning this around and whatever plan he has isn't going to work.

08 Apr 2026 23:38:05
Agree with you, Something, he has to go, keeping him on is compounding failure, we can't afford to lose many more league games and I cannot see us winning any more games under Slot.

08 Apr 2026 23:57:47
Honestly, starseeker, almost anyone with half a clue available right now could do better than Slot in an interim.

I say that because it's become very toxic from the looks of it. The players don't want to play for Slot anymore. They probably haven't for a loooong time. Slot doesn't want to be there. The fans don't want him. The heads already have a plan (allegedly) to replace Slot at the end of the season.



So, I'd go as far as to say any of Stevie G, Maresca, Postecoglou, Rob Page (under 21s coach), or even bloody Sam Allardyce could do a job. Our players are good enough for top 5. We just need a change in management for the next few games. Someone with PL experience who can put a bit of fire back into this team, do a proper formation, play players in their right position, do proper substitutions.

Is that too much to ask?

09 Apr 2026 00:20:20
Sorry, I never thought it, but Rob Page is a good shout, but I am sure Edwards is not keen otherwise it would have been done months ago.

09 Apr 2026 03:21:33
LFC8, u nailed it. It's deeper than the unsackable one now. It's also well beyond incompetent; it's negligent at a minimum.

09 Apr 2026 06:06:22
I'm with you Greg. Any of those, or indeed any change would suggest those in charge give a damn. The fact nothing is happening to stop the fall suggests those above Slot know they are going and don't give a damn either.

Ed001- lots of talk about Edwards and Hughes, but it terms of the LFC management structure alone (separate to FSG) isn't Billy Hogan the top man? Surely he cannot be blind to what's happening? Is he too far removed or part of the problem do you think?

{Ed001's Note - the problem is that he is not really a football man and that means he defers to supposed football people, unfortunately Edwards and Hughes are as clueless as him in real terms. So when they are telling him it is just a blip, like Klopp's final season at Dortmund, he thinks they know better than him.}

08 Apr 2026 22:15:11
Honest question. Does anyone else think Slot is actually hoping to get sacked at this point?

08 Apr 2026 22:37:16
Reminds me of Ten Haag at Utd. Players have stopped playing for him. Just waiting for the club to sack him.

08 Apr 2026 23:59:28
I believe so.

I didn't think that before, but the comment of "we were lucky to only concede 2" and few other comments scream of "you should sack me".

09 Apr 2026 03:22:29
666, I've thought that for a while. The pig-headedness of turning out the same crap week after week.
