Thank you for your continued support in a disappointing season. It’s way off the standards expected at this football club.

There is now serious consideration being given to changing the head coach at Liverpool. It would require an admission higher up that things are beyond repair, but the question is at least now posed, it would also mean a reshuffle above the head coach at the director level.

✍️ An Open Letter to Richard Hughes Richard, Liverpool supporters are not unreasonable. They understand football. They understand setbacks. What they struggle to accept is a full season of the same problems repeating with no visible solution. That is where we are now. Sunday’s draw with Tottenham felt less like a point gained and more like an indictment of everything that has gone wrong this year. Spurs arrived in disarray. Injuries everywhere. No league wins in 2026. A squad patched together with academy players. Yet Liverpool, at Anfield, produced a performance that was hesitant, shapeless and alarmingly toothless. In truth, Liverpool were fortunate to leave with a draw. This isn't about one afternoon. It's about a pattern. Week after week, Liverpool dominate possession but rarely dominate the game. The attack lacks fluency. The midfield lacks authority. The defence collapses under late pressure. The same questions are asked after every match because the same issues appear every week. At some point, responsibility must rest with the man in charge. Arne Slot inherited world-class players. He inherited a club built on elite standards. Yet over the past year, the football has become slower, more predictable and increasingly ineffective. When almost every player looks worse than they did twelve months ago, the explanation is rarely individual failure. It's coaching. Managers are judged on their ability to solve problems. Liverpool’s problems have been obvious for months, and yet the solutions have never arrived. That is why November matters so much. At that point, the warning signs were already clear. Performances were deteriorating. Confidence was draining from the team. Many supporters, myself included, believed decisive action was needed before the season unravelled completely. Instead, the message that came from the club was calm reassurance. We were told everything was under control. The now infamous roundtable video in February, featuring you alongside Slot, projected unity and confidence that the direction was correct. But unity only works when the direction is right. Looking back now, that moment feels less like leadership and more like hesitation. A chance to confront reality was replaced with a public show of faith that the evidence on the pitch simply did not support. That decision sits with you. You were rightly praised last summer. The recruitment looked ambitious and intelligent. Many fans backed you completely. Yet hindsight now suggests the squad balance has not worked, and the coach entrusted to guide it has struggled badly. Supporters can accept mistakes. What they cannot accept is pretending a mistake has not been made. Liverpool still possess too much talent and too much history to accept a season where the football becomes this stagnant and the standards fall this far. Leadership requires honesty. Arne Slot has had time. He has had patience. He has had backing. But the problems remain exactly the same. Deep down, you may already know the conclusion. No new contract for Slot, suggests you do. And if that is the case, Richard, Liverpool supporters are simply asking for one thing. The courage to act on it. 🙏

They should have sacked him after PSV

Some people don’t like it, I don’t really care Hard work needs celebrating and this kid grafts like no one else I know That strength diving off one leg is incredible

“Should Konaté leave on a free transfer, are two new centre backs needed allowing for the reluctance to give Joe Gomez minutes which is, in part, due to his fitness issues? Are two necessary regardless? Is the current midfield ready to push to reclaim the title next season or does it need strengthening? Will Curtis Jones, who had been attracting interest from Tottenham Hotspur, feel it is time to be more of a guaranteed starter somewhere? Kostas Tsimikas is due to return from a loan spell with Roma and may become back-up to Milos Kerkez if Robertson departs when his contract expires in five months. But that is not a long-term solution. Like Gomez and Virgil Van Dijk, Tsimikas’ contract is up in 2027.”
