Hi Liverpool family, I own up, I hold my hand up, it's me. I am the one at fault for all this.

Let's not absolved ourselves of this blame. We were the same supporters who cheered Slot when he won league title. We were urging FSG to give him budget and sign him 10 yr Contract.

FSG merely doing what we want. In end we have no one to blame but ourselves. We are the real ones who let the club down.

Now who else join me to hold your hands up and take a good look at ourselves? Hands up.

Good sense of humour. Now put the bottle down and go sleep it off.

05 Apr 2026 10:11:37
Nope. I said it was a poor league last season and one of the lowest league winning points tallies, plus said we were looking worse and worse as time went on, and got admonished for it.
The most I ever supported Slot was his first 6 months, and it diminished from there onwards. So, in some crazy world where what we write here did have some impact, no, I would take absolutely no responsibility whatsoever.

I'm used to having to make tough decisions, sacking people, and in my world Slot would have been replaced months ago. Unlike our management, I'd also have taken the hit on the chin from my line management for hiring a dud.

Not sure of that. When Arne took over, it took away some of the risk with Klopp's style of play, and made us solid, but also a fluid attacking edge with different approaches through the games.


Trouble is, the more we moved away from Klopp's style to Arne's, the worse we looked, so after February last year, I think many were getting a little concerned at how we were faring.

Teams were scared of playing us when we had Jurgen in charge. Now teams can't wait to play us under Slott.

05 Apr 2026 20:35:03
HappyPeter is clearly Arne Slot.

At the game yesterday, it was a shocking capitulation after a decent start.
I said to my boy whilst it was still 0-0 that Gravenberch was lazy, leaves us wide open on the centre of the pitch, and when he does clear the ball he persistently gives it back to the opposition.
For me, not a Liverpool midfielder.

Jones is poor, lacks vision, loves one turn too many and he reminds me a bit of Adam Lallana, not a Liverpool midfielder for me.

VVD is done. He is not still world class, his reading of the game has become poor, his once quick thinking is now ragged at best. I’m sorry but I think his time is up; I would sell to the Saudi or American Leagues now whilst we can.
Jacquet has been bought to start by the way, not to learn and steadily grow into the team. We desperately need a solid pairing at the back.

Konate is horrific, erratic at best, poor timing, poor decision making, and nothing to do with Slot and his coaching. He has always had a brain fart in him. Not good enough for LFC.



Right back is our real weakness. Teams target our left side and I’m sorry but Bradley is not the answer, injuries to one side, he is also erratic, error prone, lacks guile. Frimpong is not a defender but I like him in the squad as back up width and speed that’s all though.
We are desperately for a Kayode or Gertruida type to bring consistency at RB.

I was home from the Middle East for 2 weeks, spent decent money for the ticket and to travel there yesterday. It’s 6 hours of my life I will never get back. I won’t watch Liverpool again until Slot is gone. Also, don’t expect this to quickly improve when a new manager commences. There are big problems in the squad, glaring deficiencies that requires significant change, and the old guard needs to be gone. I think the new manager must have a personality, have the aura of a leader, rule with an iron fist whilst quietly encouraging the individuals in the squad. We don’t need another coach or part-timer at the helm.

05 Apr 2026 09:02:18
Linked with Palestra again today, so at least that obvious rb deficiency has been picked up by our transfer panel. I also hope for more of a manager than head coach in the future, as this structure of no accountability has been a huge failure. You can still have a director who works alongside the manager and does the commercials.



I also agree a new coach won't necessarily turn us straight into league winners as City, Utd, and Arsenal will also improve over the summer, but I'm hopeful we'll at least see some better football.

05 Apr 2026 09:03:05
Hard to argue with any of that. But, these players are not playing for this manager. They are better than this, and they should be more professional, and remember who they are playing for. I can't think of a manager in the PL who has managed to keep his job this long, serving up shower after shower.

05 Apr 2026 09:14:25
The directors know they've messed up as well, I think, Flyer. It's the only rational explanation why they haven't fired Arne by now. They don't want to admit their collective failings. The character of quite a few players is lacking, no doubt about it, but they tend to stick together and throw their hands up in the air rather than getting stuck in.

05 Apr 2026 21:44:46
Grav should be moved on in the summer. Not an 8, and doesn't want to play 6. Giving him 300k a week was a ludicrous decision. We don't learn from our mistakes.

05 Apr 2026 00:54:13
Ekitike is exactly the type of personality we need to be completely removing from this team, you can already see he’s going to be the type who throws out his toys to get a move when the ‘big boys’ come calling.

His attitude and general decision making is absolutely atrocious and it’s largely being masked because he’s seen to be doing well in this abysmal team. He’s scored a few goals and thinks that’s enough and now he has free rein to meander around, complain and moan, jog back, because he’s scored a goal or two.

He’s done ok, but he’s the exact type of personality that will absolutely rot the squad from the inside without any leaders in the team. I know that may sound over dramatic, but I can already see the seeds being planted which will grow into the exact opposite of what Klopp created here.


Yeah Salah needs to be moved on, but I think even more so than his goals and assists, his example/workrate is going to have a significant impact on the squad. Yes he’s thrown his toys out a few times, but largely he’s a consummate professional. If we lose Robertson too, who actually is our professional, level headed leader? I don’t think it’s Virgil.

We have cut out that workmanlike balance to the squad, we don’t have anyone everyone looks to for some strength and steel, hence the absolute collapse every time we lose a goal.


Slot needs to go and I’ve always expected him to go at the end of the season, these cups and the CL I believe have been thought of as ‘bonuses’ with the main and only realistic goal of achieving CL next season. Hence the lack of movement with his role. Even when he goes though, we still have a serious issue with the squad in general.


I’m not overly excited or convinced by Alonso, in fact I think his soft nature is exactly what we don’t need. However, I think his ability to build unknown players and work with the squad/ youth in general is the type of manager we need, rather than someone who’s asking for another £200 million. I think Simeone has largely lost the passion we once had, but Simeone of old is exactly what we need. Barring Enrique I don’t see any outstanding or exciting candidates.

05 Apr 2026 12:40:19
Hugo can take Frimpong with him.

05 Apr 2026 15:57:46
Bob, this is what happens when players go to national sides and are around certain players who play for a big Spanish team !!!!

05 Apr 2026 16:20:59
Fans on here can go overboard with some things. Ekitike has that French ego, but he's also very young. He is a great linker, but out of form, and the whole team is horrendous under this coaching set up. We do need better personalities though to help the younger ones mature.



In terms of Alonso, he has actually won things and his teams look good. I don't think he's soft in nature at all - you don't become an elite player and manager by being soft.

04 Apr 2026 22:05:50
We are going to get battered by at least 5 goals against PSG in the first leg.

04 Apr 2026 22:43:20
You're being generous, StEtienne...

05 Apr 2026 09:45:24
I think our defence will be even more generous...

05 Apr 2026 16:00:20
There will only be one person happy we are playing PSG. Can you guess who it is?
Here is a clue: A.S.

04 Apr 2026 20:53:53
A little bit of info for you, and this one actually joins a few dots. A mate of mine works in event services, but it's only a part-time gig so he moonlights down Ladbrokes on Priory Road. He said John Henry has £100 mil on Liverpool to finish outside top 5. Apparently he placed the bet back in August at 7/1.

05 Apr 2026 06:19:33
It's April 4th. You're 3 days too late.

05 Apr 2026 08:09:53
Lol - That bet would seriously dent a bookies profitability. Ladbrokes owner Entain reported strong 2025 results, with underlying core profit (EBITDA) reaching £1.16 billion. I am sure, if it did happen, and LFC did finish outside the top 5, then there would be some investigation, and, if found guilty, god knows what further implications could be dropped on LFC.

I doubt JH is that stupid to hurt one of his prized assets to make 700m personally whilst losing the club over a billion.

05 Apr 2026 09:04:25
Would also be highly illegal, KC, and no way would Ladbrokes take a 100m wager.

04 Apr 2026 19:55:10
My dad tells me Alonso won’t be joining without Champions League football. He’s not ITK, just his opinion. What’s people’s thoughts?

04 Apr 2026 20:40:45
Could be a massive factor, all depends on what other offers come his way imo, only time will tell.

05 Apr 2026 00:50:09
Roy Hodgson it is then.

05 Apr 2026 06:20:39
I think it's past your bedtime Crabby.

04 Apr 2026 19:40:45
I'm sorry but the absolute cheek of Szoboszlai having a go at the fans at full time. The fans have paid their hard earned money to watch that embarrassment today and he's surprised they're leaving after an hour when we're 4-0 down?!

{Ed025's Note - i have warned you about Sobigheadedsly JK..

04 Apr 2026 20:32:53
Well, between that and Ekiteke swapping shirts, it's a level of disrespect that is unforgivable. Horrendous behavior.

05 Apr 2026 02:55:42
Szoboszlai is a show-off and far from the high-caliber player he is given credit for being by fans. All this talk of new contracts to be given to the likes of him, Gravenberch, Konate etc., - they're all happy-go-lucky, entitled toads who lack the sheer skill to paper over their lack of competitiveness. More than happy with the lifestyle, but unable to battle for Liverpool FC.

05 Apr 2026 06:22:21
I agree w u, Lowe. He's becoming a bit of a show-pony for me who isn't as good as he thinks he is. We have a team of prima-donnas this season.

04 Apr 2026 18:45:00
Is anyone else coming on here every 10 minutes to see if there is a fresh update from Carra, Robbo, The Fields, Ned or VGD? It trully is time to move Slot on in my opinion. It won't come soon enough.

04 Apr 2026 19:09:43
Not gonna happen, unfortunately. If they wouldn't sack him in November when we still had time to save the entire season, why would they sack him now with only a handful of games left? But yeah, I'm still on here every 20 minutes in the hope that something changes, and have been for months.

04 Apr 2026 19:09:59
Mate, we all want it, but it's not gonna happen.

04 Apr 2026 19:28:33
Mate, the fact Slot is still here proves our club management is so atrocious that I doubt they would accept Slot's resignation if he wanted to go. It seems we really are that bloody desperate to finish outside the CL places. We'll keep Slot no matter what.

04 Apr 2026 19:50:31
You're right, it ain't happening, at least not yet. Should have happened after PSV, honestly.

04 Apr 2026 17:34:41
Liverpool boss Arne Slot speaking to BBC Sport: "Disappointment about the result, disappointment about going out and very disappointed about the 20 minutes where we conceded four goals." On what he thought when the game was goalless on 38 minutes: "I liked a lot I saw today.

We did a lot very well on and off the ball, generated some good chances. We kept them away from any danger. Until that penalty moment there was a lot to like."
