This is incredible.

Mohamed Salah: "I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that. Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it. Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games. Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on. As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen."

Andy Robertson reflects on Aston Villa loss: “Sums up our season.” daveockop.com/latest-news/an…

@TheBoiledEgg Not surprised unfortunately

@DaveOCKOP Surprised ?? Been saying for most of season that a team of 90 year olds could out battle & outrun us

Aston Villa are playing a European Final on Wednesday and they're out there out working us, toying with us and embarrassing us. This is shocking.

@brdoyle1998 😭

@DaveOCKOP Oh for fuck sake😂

Arne Slot: "We have conceded far too many goals, but we didn't score enough goals. But two away at Villa Park is not bad." (Sky)

Ollie Watkins on the Liverpool defence: "They play a high line and they don't play offside. They're disjointed at the back. I'm gonna get chances against them." (Sky)

Arne Slot: "I wouldn't be surprised if we are number 1 in goals conceded from set pieces, and that's never a good thing to be number 1 in." (Sky)

Arne Slot: "When we are the better team we struggle to find that goal, mainly because we are not able to create big enough chances..." (Sky)

Arne Slot: "Overall I don't think the players deserve what you're saying, the players were fully in the game and fully able to get a result. But I agree after 3-1, we crumbled." (Sky)

Arne Slot on Villa second goal: "It was in a moment of the game when we were coming back, we hit the post. It was 1-1." (Sky)

@Mobyhaque1 Where are we gonna finish next season if it continues like this?

@DaveOCKOP Spot on mate. There is NOTHING to say it will get better. No improvement. More headless chicken. No plan. No tactrics. We are a punching bag. Spurs beat Villa and Burnley forced them a draw. Both relegation teams and yet Villa pumped 4 goals into our net.

We spent over £400M last summer but it feels like this summer we've more work to do than ever. If Alisson leaves, we really need to consider if we are prepared long term. We've no energy in midfield and lack creativity from full backs that we had before. Most worrying is the side don't seem to be giving it their all, simple as that. We can't even concentrate correctly, allowing opposition players run free, take free shots and go unopposed for goal scoring moments. That performance is giving me Stoke 2015 vibes, as mentioned. We can sign every player in the world but if we won't make that hard run, close that player in time, show enough aggression we can forget about it.

Is there anyone out there who genuinely thinks that all this team needs is some signings and a pre season to turn this around. We are so far behind the level required to challenge it's actually upsetting. We have some leaders leaving in the summer, we've some players who are regressing, at a serious rate. Arne Slot has not put the fire in the belly of this side in a long time. There's no spark and no belief.
