@KayLFC05_ Contract talks cancelled, no RB or other injury replacement in Jan and Ajax approach rumours surface. He probably approached Ajax himself, given his form. He's only here because of PL win. He's gone.

This notion that Slot hasn’t been given a chance is tiring. He was left in charge despite getting destroyed 7-1 by PSV & Forest at Anfield in the space of 3 days. Since then he’s been given SEVEN months to turn things around. Nothing is changing under him, WAKE UP.

@Favwontmiss Lifelong. If I wait it comes but it takes time. Annoying and occasionally problematic.

if you have ADHD and you've been quietly googling "early onset dementia symptoms" because you keep forgetting basic words mid-sentence, it's probably not dementia. it's ADHD. it's called word retrieval issues and it's a verified symptom. you don't have a brain tumor. you have a brain. and the brain is busy.

@theliverbirdfc @NicolaVidal1 @Jayfo_LFC Slot, a proper snake, tried IMO, to organise his exit to Ajax, just like he did at AZAlk, in Dec and got caught. Hence contract talks cancelled and no RB cover in Jan. Only allowed to stay due to PL title. Edw/Hug also compromised as knew of risk.

SLOTBALL: RECETA PARA EL FRACASO. La temporada 25/26 del Liverpool FC terminó mucho antes de lo que cualquier hincha hubiera imaginado; mucho antes de lo que indicaban los pronósticos y muchísimo antes de lo que prometía el mercado de verano. Sí, el club probablemente terminará en puestos de Champions League, pero lo hará jugando un fútbol terrible, con un equipo lleno de dudas y que, a estas alturas, parece no tener idea de a qué juega. La temporada del Liverpool ha sido históricamente tétrica tanto en lo estadístico, como en lo futbolístico. El club no solo perdió su fútbol y regaló prestigio: también renunció a su identidad. La gran pregunta es simple: ¿quién creyó que todo esto era una buena idea? La respuesta merece un artículo entero, pero puede resumirse en tres nombres: Edwards, Hughes y Slot. Cada uno tiene su cuota de responsabilidad, pero los tres compraron la idea de desplazar y destruir una identidad que a una figura como Klopp le tomó casi una década construir. Y no es exagerado decir que el impacto del alemán en la cultura del club —e incluso de la ciudad— eclipsa sin esfuerzo el peso de cualquiera de ellos. Desde hace más de un año, la realidad del equipo se resume en lo mismo: mínimos históricos, rendimientos desastrosos y un plantel sin identidad, sin intensidad y sin respuestas dentro de la cancha. Al principio era “solo un pequeño bache”. Después, la culpa fue de la mala suerte. Más tarde, del calendario, de los árbitros o de unos hinchas que “no entendían la realidad del club”. Incluso se utilizó de forma miserable el fallecimiento de Diogo Jota como escudo narrativo. Pero ahora el discurso cambió: resulta que “esto siempre iba a pasar”, porque supuestamente era una “temporada de transición”. Arne Slot quiso implantar su idea futbolística —sea cual sea— en Liverpool, y fracasó. El equipo luce apático, débil, cobarde y reducido a su mínima expresión. Es un equipo gris, lento y mentalmente frágil. ¿De verdad alguien cree que jugadores nuevos y veteranos simplemente se olvidaron de jugar al fútbol de un día para otro? Hay entrenadores que potencian lo poco que tienen. Otros necesitan futbolistas de élite para funcionar. Y luego están los que empeoran jugadores y destruyen procesos de adaptación. El neerlandés, hoy por hoy, pertenece a ese último grupo. ¿Qué te hace pensar que otro mercado de cientos de millones va a solucionar algo, cuando el verdadero problema es el sistema? Liverpool está comprando jugadores para una idea que no existe, para un proyecto que no arranca y que no muestra señales de funcionar. Y lo más peligroso es que también se irán los pocos líderes que todavía recuerdan la cultura que devolvió a los ‘Reds’ al lugar que les corresponde. Los estándares del Liverpool FC son demasiado altos como para tolerar otra temporada de excusas. Este club fue construido sobre intensidad, dominio, valentía y mentalidad élite. Los hinchas pueden aceptar una transición; lo que no pueden aceptar es ver a su equipo perder el hambre, la identidad y la autoridad competitiva que siempre definieron al club. Lo más preocupante no son solo los resultados. Es la ausencia total de reacción, agresividad táctica y mentalidad; justamente las cosas que hicieron de Anfield un lugar aterrador para cualquier rival. Bajo el mando de Jürgen Klopp, incluso los peores momentos transmitían convicción. Hoy, muchos hinchas se sienten completamente desconectados de lo que ven en la cancha, porque los estándares están muy por debajo de lo que este club representa. FSG debe hacerse una pregunta muy seria: ¿están protegiendo el futuro competitivo del Liverpool o simplemente defendiendo decisiones que son demasiado orgullosos para corregir? Los clubes grandes reaccionan rápido cuando aparecen señales de alarma. Esperar demasiado termina costando títulos, respaldo del vestuario y confianza de la afición. Liverpool nunca debería convertirse en un club que acepta el declive como parte del proceso. #LFC #YNWA #SlotOut

@Andyc1178 Arne the Snake off to Ajax. He approached them behind everyone's backs, IMO, when things got rough in Nov/Dec. He has form. Got found out. Only staying due to PL win and no suitable rt back cover in Jan. He's gone . Possibly Hughes etc too.(Mediocrity comment)

If I’m slot I’m resigning . Fans don’t want him , he knows Edwards and Hughes are fuckin off next summer . Have some fuckin dignity man and fuck off. Typical arrogant Dutch twat

@Corballyred Did Hug/Ed appoint Snake knowing about AZAlk sacking and AS then approached Ajax in Dec? Snake has form. This might explain the contract and confusion. It's also a massive competence issue regarding the appt and risk to LFC.

Why are journalists and pundits ignoring Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards, apart from questions about new contracts for them??? They inherited the foundations of a title-winning side from Klopp and Schmadtke, yet dismantled it in under two years. Last summer’s £440m transfer window was arguably the worst by a club in Premier League history — a massive spend that left the squad noticeably weaker. They are the main reason Arne Slot is likely to stay next season. Edwards built his reputation on the back of Klopp’s genius, while Hughes appears out of his depth and only got the job through his friendship with Edwards. They are paid millions to get these decisions right but have failed miserably and deserve far more scrutiny.

@WilsonCoxLFC If Slot hasn't been renewed then the rumours about Ajax talks in Dec may be true BUT were initiated by Snake, who has form in seeking new pastures. Sacked by AZAlk, this would be a known risk and major issue for Hughes/Edwards if repeated at LFC. Saved by PL win. CL&FO

#LFC 🔴 🚨 My opinion. I understand I haven’t got the biggest platform, so this will hardly reach the hierarchy, but I’m going to say it as it is. The club is run by Hughes and Edwards, who are full of egos. They want to keep Arne Slot not because his data is good despite a poor season — if that were the case, surely we would know which criteria he’s actually performing well in. They want full control and a yes-man head coach, and Arne Slot is one of them. The issue that won’t be seen by the public goes beyond Arne Slot’s Premier League title win. A poor season with 18 losses would be considered sackable for any coach at any club, never mind the biggest club in the country, Liverpool. Hughes and Edwards plan to leave next summer, so why are they still making these decisions? John Henry and Billy Hogan should be stepping in and saying, “No, this isn’t good enough and we aren’t getting enough from this — he’s gone.” Edwards is briefing all his little friends — like James Pearce, Ornstein, etc. — to put out the line that “we will keep him, he’s our man.” He is their man because, with basic common sense, we know they don’t want to admit they got it wrong. Change is needed from top to bottom, and it’s needed fast, or Liverpool could be in serious trouble. The club have definitely held talks with other coaches because we have been told they have by reliable people, Alonso is yet to be one of them. But Klopp wasn’t approached until he was appointed. Anyway the bottom line is I’m really unhappy and us match goers need to be as vocal as possible with our opinion on Matchday.

@liverpool1_love No.

Now it's almost confirmed that we wont appoint Xabi Alonso and the Liverpool head coach next season will still be Arne Slot. So it's time to back our premier league winning gaffer. Believe in him ❤🇳🇱

@CFCJacob90 @indykaila Best sort your own silly club out first. We're fine without you.

@indykaila The desperation from this account to push Alonso to Liverpool. Thinking they actually have influence when in reality most fans look and laugh at this account.

Exclusive 💣 Xabi Alonso is really keen on becoming the next manager of Liverpool Football Club. He’s not the type to just sit around waiting for a call, and honestly, he’s a bit surprised that no official offer has come through yet. You’d think a club legend like him would be at the top of their list, right? He’s still holding out hope that Liverpool will make a move, Chelsea is already in talks with him. It’s a classic case of “make your move before it’s too late.” Alonso’s got the pedigree, having played for Liverpool and now proving himself as a manager. It’ll be interesting to see if Liverpool steps up or if they let him slip away to their rivals. The clock's ticking!

@l4pablo LFC played to draw vs Chelsea. Sat back after equalising. Didn't go for win in stoppage time. Bare minimum for CL.

Hopefully this is just a clever ploy by Alonso’s agent. They’ve seen the massive wave of Liverpool fans pushing for him especially after that Chelsea draw. Slot’s under serious pressure. Perfect timing to leak these Chelsea stories, force Liverpool to take notice.

@KopAce74 Decision made in Dec imo. He's gone.

There’s plenty of journo’s dining out on “Slot stays next season” for clicks for their newspapers. I think there’ll be a review in the summer where they’ll conclude they can’t continue with a dead man walking in Slot. Fan base has completely lost trust in and out of Anfield!

@A_GymGuy Something not right. Arne Snake has Hx of seeking new pastures if the environment sours eg Alkmaar. In Dec rumours re: Ajax surfaced just as calls for his head grew. Then no rt back replacement, CJ, Mo & Robbo, Harvey, Ibou. Safe only due to 'availabilitys'? He's gone.

No chance he deserves a new deal on current season but I don’t blame him for wanting job security and not being happy he’s getting that if true

@lfcjusto LFC had their chances and we blew it. LFC know success is expensive. Slot knows who butters his bread. The fans know Slot looks after Slot. I wish Xavi, a good man, every success.

By the way, Alonso opening up for Chelsea says a lot about him. In some ways, I probably had a clue but was delusional to accept it, one of those jobs that almost everyone knows how it will end!

@AdewoluAre Stop telling me how to support my lifelong football team. Go kiss the arse of the people you serve. And when Slot goes and does his habit of underhand business and again undermines strong, loyal players such as now, you can enjoy the plentiful boos from knowledgeable fans.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that Michael Edwards, Richard Hughes and the rest of the Liverpool hierarchy, backed by Fenway Sports Group, are preparing to continue with Arne Slot next season. Right now, they don’t appear ready to make a managerial change. Instead, the focus seems to be on signing a new winger and, most importantly, a defensive midfielder to patch the cracks in this team. As frustrating as this decision may feel to many fans, Liverpool supporters must continue backing the club through difficult moments. We can disagree with the direction, question the standards, and still stand behind the badge. “You’ll Never Walk Alone” was never built for easy seasons only.

@AlDefinitely Promised left. Delivered right. Backed the wrong horse in Gaza.

I don't follow UK politics all that closely but literally what did Keir Starmer do to be so universally despised? Is it literally just that he's milquetoast and does nothing?

@Jack_Moore7 @LFC Chelsea treat players and managers badly. Alonso won't go there. Slot would be fine kissing upwards.

Alonso to Chelsea, Konate contract not looking good, Alisson to Juve. Great few days, what other zingers you got for us @lfc

@AdewoluAre Good managers, as they tend to be in the top leagues, even at PSG, quickly detect tactical systems. Slot developed ideas in Holland but has been found out in the PL. He's unlikely to develop new or better ones. Sometimes our talent will out, but the better teams will kill us.

Yes, Arne Slot won the Premier League, but let’s stop pretending this is the same Liverpool anymore. The fear factor is DEAD. Teams used to walk into Anfield terrified, now struggling sides come here believing they can dominate us. That says everything. This Liverpool side looks soft, passive, predictable and completely disconnected from the identity built over years. No intensity. No aggression. No aura. No mentality monsters. It’s not only the football that fans don’t recognise anymore, it’s the entire soul of the club disappearing in front of our eyes. Liverpool were once hunters. Now they play like a team begging opponents for respect. Big questions need asking, because standards at this club are collapsing fast.

@SadioIogist As soon as Slot negotiates his next club it will leak and he'll be off. He's a snake.

He’ll be sacked in November and we’ll get Nagelsmann

@danlfcynwa_ Send them Slots CV.

Felipe Luis is the one that Romano also keeps peddling (he is good for Chelsea) I think if Alonso's the person we want, we'll get him. I am more worried about us not changing Slot than the thought of Alonso choosing them over us.

@danlfcynwa_ Don't give him the oxygen. He's a total moron.

Imagine saying that we're better without Salah only for us to have a 27.27% win rate in the PL when he doesn't play? (Sam won't reply to this btw) You'd be a great servant for a dictatorship given you don't have the decency to question the manager for anything.

@NotSlotaClue Slot will go when he has negotiated his next deal whilst still managing Liverpool. The man's a snake.

Alonso will likely go to Chelsea and it'll be a huge error. I don't think the higher ups at Liverpool are that interested tbh. I'm confident when Slot goes not if, when, it'll be either Hoeneß or Nagelsmann.
