I just don't understand football anymore but what I do know is that our chances of champions league football next season are diminishing week by week the longer Arne Slot is still in charge of this team. The club is in a down ward spiral and I'm afraid things are only going to get worse now that Slobz will be gone for the next few games. The mentality monsters that once were are long gone we are a soft touch nowadays no one is afraid of coming to Anfield anymore and the longer we continue to be as soft as wet paper the further down this league table we are going to finish.

If citees 3rd had stood we would have dropped down to 7th on goal difference there are 2 or 3 players currently robbing a wage from the club we are in free fall and the longer we persist with Slot the worse its going to get. Absolutely abysmal result after getting our noses in front and seemingly in control of the game our inability to close out results is killing us and any possibility of champions league football next season.

Dom misses one game.

08 Feb 2026 19:04:59
Look at Chelsea and united, changed tonrubbish emaahers and already look better, sometimes it's just th change of atmosphere makes the difference. This will cost us.

08 Feb 2026 19:07:37
Actually thought LFC gave as good as they got in this game. Again, individual errors proved the difference, Dom switched off playing Silva onside, and Ali had a brain fart.

Is Slot to blame for two experienced pros making bad decisions? Hardly. It's bad luck that Dom has to play at right back.

08 Feb 2026 19:07:57
What would you have felt if we had held the 1-0? I do think social media petrol fuels us to conflagrate our worst instincts. I reckon we played pretty well in a great game. Damn shame to lose it, but in the old days we would grumble over a pint, and move on.

Now, we don't get what we want and hit the keyboard in anger.

08 Feb 2026 19:34:28
Watching Liverpool for over 50 years mnstersouness mate and if we had won 1 :0 i'd have been delighted like all fans. However to say that I'm some sort of spoilt teenage keyboard warrior couldn't be further from reality.

This team has been playing absolute muck for a long time now and that is down to a stubborn inept manager and his coaching staff we lack the steal and the mentality to close out games when we get our noses in front and that for me is happening nearly every game now so please point out to me what you deem as being an over reaction to another poor performance and result I'm all ear's mate!

08 Feb 2026 19:38:21
I think we would have spent the entire season drunk, grumbling over pints.
It's the slow ineffective style and the fact that a team is level on points with Brentford after spending £400 million.

08 Feb 2026 18:49:05
Struggling to remember a capitulation quite like it.
This team has no fight or endeavour at all.
Slot out NOW!
I don't even want to watch this rubbish any longer 🫩.

08 Feb 2026 18:54:03
Struggling to remember a capitulation like it? We've had at least 5 like it this season mate.

08 Feb 2026 18:59:16
The new "SPICE BOYS".

08 Feb 2026 19:08:02
What makes me laugh is there's still people defending him. After a couple of good results people on here, even today are saying how they'd like to see how the season goes before he get's the sack lol unbelievable. Apparently now, chasing a CL spot is acceptable.

08 Feb 2026 18:47:30
Poor 1st 30mins again but played v well 2nd half I thought. Ekitike+ wirtz have to be putting there chances away, 2 v poor finishes. bad mistake by ali for the pen.

Hard to see us getting champ league football which just can't seem to get any momentum going at all.
On a side note how does neville get away with as biased a commentary as that.

08 Feb 2026 19:26:50
I agree digger we were totally dominant second half. City were dominant first half without really troubling us too much I thought we kept them at arm's length.

We had the game won but soft goals have become a recurring theme. Silva was the only player to anticipated Haaland's header and then Ali presses self destruct.

With the chances we had in the second half we should've been 2 or 3 up but another recurring theme has been missing our chances.

Slot has been lamenting our play in both boxes and today it showed up again. When playing City the margins are so small, you simply can't miss the chances we missed and make the defensive mistakes we made.

On the positive side, what a player Szob is. Another great performance and an incredible goal. Even with the sending off at the end, lesser players would've just allowed the ball to go in, the game had gone by that point but Szob was trying everything to keep the ball out of the net. That can only be applauded.

I still think we'll get top 5 there are plenty of games to go. It's way, way, way too early to admit defeat yet.

08 Feb 2026 18:41:46
Never posted before but feel truly don't understand what is happening to the team, played well against Qarabag, came back and showed great mentality coming back and dominating against Newcastle, to weather the storm today and then boss city in the second half we had the game in our hands at 1-0 by the magic of Dom but what I can't fathom is we seemed to just drop off the pace and intensity when we were 1-0 and let city play their game, it's why I feel we lost once they got 1-1 they went for their second and we again seemed to be continue playing within ourselves and tried not to lose rather than go back again and score against a not very good city defence

I've notice that when we score 75+ we seem to just drop off and play for the 1-0 and are too afraid to go on and win the game comfortably which stems from the managers tactics rather than the players, I really struggle to see what Slot is doing esp since the turn of the year


Dear oh what will we do no Dom is out for 2 games I think as straight red but not dangerous play (could be wrong) but I doubt slot will turn to Ramsey can see him playing Jones against Sunderland which will be just tragic to witness.

08 Feb 2026 19:02:33
U lost me at "played well against Qarabag. ".

08 Feb 2026 18:41:43
Get slot out NOW. he's destroying us just stands there with absolutely zero passion and interest.

08 Feb 2026 18:40:27
Hi Diddly Ho,

Bizarre game, overshadowed by a somewhat controversial ending that I do think was correctly officiated.

Leaves us in a very bad predicament for RB - hopefully Gomez will be fit for the next game.

Don't know how Gary Neville is allowed to co-commentate on games, he's delusional at the best of times.

Hope you all have a great week.

Diddly Out.

08 Feb 2026 19:00:48
I don't think the game was well-officiated. I think it was anything but! That's what I saw. I agree we capitulated, but the refereeing was horrible in my opinion.

08 Feb 2026 19:04:44
Disagree Ned. If that game had finished 2-2 that would have been a travesty. Let the goal stand and send him off. Play Ramsay. I mute commentators I can't listen to. Surely Ned this public support of Slot is purely "good" PR to get us through the end of the season.

08 Feb 2026 19:06:34
I have to agree regarding Neville I get he hates Liverpool but it's totally embarrassing and completely spoils the viewing enjoyment.

08 Feb 2026 19:11:53
Ned!

Yeh i thought that too. one minute we had players going down in the box. no replays so still don't know what happened. but they then go up and score.

He was cheering on city all game. I get tit. a united gang. carra was giving him stick when we were winning games. but if carra isn't co commentating. be professional. he was so biased it was tragic.

Any hoo. that first half was shocking. AGAIN. 2nd half was a little better but only because we showed a little attacking intent.

Not surebwherebi am anymore. wanted slot gone for a whole. that's not hapening to at least the summer if at all. the way things are going. we will be laying once a week next season. CL is over. do we want thursday/ Sunday games? .

If Sunderland beat us we will be 7/ 8th come next weekend.

08 Feb 2026 18:38:59
Sorry if Slot keeps his job after that debacle we are screwed.

08 Feb 2026 19:09:57
Uh we're screwed.

08 Feb 2026 18:37:19
How many more losses and dropped points will it take for Slot to go. Beyond despair at this point.

08 Feb 2026 18:42:52
Shambles.

08 Feb 2026 18:45:51
So nothing to do with Allisson then?

08 Feb 2026 18:47:21
So frustrating. We clearly had what we needed to beat them, but only played from minute 45 till the goal. Then we thought - defend. Man City surrounding our low block without any pressing instead of actually having the belief and confidence to go for the 2nd and press the result home.

It's as if the team suddenly lost their energy / intensity instead of pressing on. I'm gutted.

08 Feb 2026 18:51:00
I don't think there is any way back for Slot now.

Counting down now to the end of the season and he is gone. Writing is on the wall.

Hoping that we can tie up Alonso before Team 115 nab him.

08 Feb 2026 18:37:18
I hope all the Slot apologists are happy. I'll think about you when we are playing Shouldofsackedthefruad FC from the Azerbaijani league in the Europa Cup. Well done guys.

08 Feb 2026 18:46:44
What an absolute tart you are 🤣

There's not a Liverpool fan in the land who is happy when we lose (well apart from those who think it'll be the last straw for Slot of course)

08 Feb 2026 18:52:31
Agree but what did we truly expect after going 1-0 up.
Oh Yesh. Letsh hang on to de 1-0.
But gafffer we've tried that so many times this season and we've constantly been punished for it.
What? Shorry? It might work thish time .

08 Feb 2026 18:58:48
Sorry Changing but you're talking bollox.
Obviously Endo is saying that because like a growing number, we can't put up with this dross.
You say he's not being a fan. Nonsense.
Blind faith in an inept system of management will continue to do more damage if not rectified.

08 Feb 2026 19:11:06
Less if the homophobic comments. I'm surprised the EDs allowed that. The Slit apologists will condone that defeat there is no doubt about that. They're already doing it.

{Ed001's Note - what the hell are you on about? What homophobic comment? Don't make up crap because you are peed off.}

08 Feb 2026 19:25:02
To call someone a tart is a homophobic comment nothing to do with me being peed off. Allow it that's fine because it's your gig.

{Ed001's Note - what is homophobic about it?}

08 Feb 2026 19:32:39
Calling someone a "tart" is primarily a sexist, derogatory term directed at women, but it can be used in a way that is perceived as homophobic when applied to men. As I said it's your gig you can allow what you want. No skin of my nose.

{Ed001's Note - if you say so.}

08 Feb 2026 19:38:32
I don't think you're a tart Endo but your reaction is not helping your case mate.

08 Feb 2026 19:50:15
Sounds like something a tart might say.

08 Feb 2026 20:02:59
Endo 3.

Oh shut up you tart!

says Delboy.

08 Feb 2026 18:35:44
What a farce, City score and then the goal is disallowed because of a foul by Szob, which resulted in a red card for denying a goal scoring opportunity . this is despite City scoring in the same passage of play.
Make this make sense . should have been a goal and no card, VAR is a joke.
Shame we couldn't hold out again!

08 Feb 2026 19:08:15
Szobo fouled Haaland and the ref played advantage but then Haaland fouled Szobo to stop him clearing the ball so they had to disallow the goal. At that point it was pulled back to the original foul and a red card given to Szobo.

100% Correct decision and I'm not sure what peoples problems are with it.

08 Feb 2026 19:22:09
I get you SK, but imagine it was 1-0 to us and the decision happened, would it still be classed as fair?

08 Feb 2026 19:25:57
SK surely the ref has to play the advantage which is what he did? Another example of VAR killing the game. If that was us and a game winning goal denied, we'd be rightfully livid.

08 Feb 2026 18:27:55
And collapse! As per!

08 Feb 2026 18:25:21
If we don't win the CL we won't be in it next season. 6th is going to be the best finish we can muster. Its embarrassing that we win the league one season and the next you are going to miss out on CL to Villa and an average United side.

Slot will hang on till the summer but our season ends when we are knocked out of the CL and FA Cup. Shocking season all round.

08 Feb 2026 18:49:27
We're not winning that. Probability is that we'd need to beat one of City, PSG or Chelsea and we're plainly not capable of that. SLOT OUT.

08 Feb 2026 19:11:35
Patience OP. This was always a transitional season. Virgil said the intensity is a factor. I mean they have to jog or walk for 90% of a match up to 3 times a week.

Look at Brentford; lost their manager and 5-6 starters, brought in a new manager, half a new team and they are level with us. So we can't really complain, can we?
