@sir_cdore @Watch_LFC Lol we’ve had a completely different team this year. We can’t play a high press successfully without proper wingers or Trent feeding it. Plus an aging defence that can’t cover the way they used to. We’re transitioning the list has a lot of holes and it’ll take time to rebuild.

@cekbarnes @Watch_LFC Bro, you're spewing a lot of no thought now! Why didn't he keeping doing or using whatever that made him successful last season? Who changes a successful tactic? Seeing comments like these make me understand, we so much deserve whatever we are getting as fans this season!

We’re Liverpool Football Club. We’re not Chelsea. We’re not Man United. We’re not Spurs. We’re a club where faith courses through our veins. A club of resilience. It’s there in our song - “At the end of the storm, there’s a golden sky”. This season has been difficult. No one can deny it and no one does deny it. But if you zoom out of the minutiae and look at the bigger picture, it was always going to be difficult. Not many people talk about this but Arne Slot is NOT an experienced manager by any stretch of imagination. This season will be his 5th complete season as a manager. He’s still very much at the beginning of his coaching career but in that time he’s only ever known success, whether it was taking AZ Alkmaar to the cusp of a title during COVID, winning the Eredivisie with Feyenoord or winning the Premier League. This season is the first time he’s truly had a “bad” season as a manager. Think about that. Truly deep it and you’ll understand why the Liverpool hierarchy are not willing to throw him out of the back of his first truly bad season as a coach. Success and failure are two sides of the same coin. You cannot feel success without putting yourself in a position to feel failure. All of the best managers, whether it’s Pep Guardiola, Sir Alex, Mourinho, Wenger, Ancelotti…they all had periods of failure which they had to learn from in order to grow and become even bigger successes. Luis Enrique, the darling manager of European football…he failed spectacularly at Roma. He fell out with key players in his squad and had to leave to go on a sabbatical. He came back to Celta Vigo a few years later and again didn’t have roaring success. Another sabbatical before he was given a chance at Barcelona where he finally had his first big success with Messi, Neymar and Suarez delivering him a quadruple. But again, he leaves Barcelona due to pressure and after a few years ends up as Spain National Team coach…Spain exit every tournament he competes in at a knockout stage. More failure. Now he’s at PSG and he’s seen as an ultra successful manager but his success right now is the end of a 15 year period punctuated by many moments of failure. Arne Slot is still in year 5 as a coach. This is his first big test in his managerial career. After the way he’s handled the custodianship of the club after one of the darkest moments since Hillsborough, he deserves another chance at a fresh season where he can show whether he’s learnt from the failures of this season. Because if he has, then all the PhD guys who crunched the numbers which said he’s the most outstanding coaching talent in Europe will be supremely vindicated and Liverpool Football Club will be blessed at the fact that we have people who make decisions, not based on emotions of the fanbase during a highly emotional 12 month period, but based on clear-sighted data and from working with Arne day in day out

@NeilLfc_5 It’s because people keep asking. Saying a title winning manager will set us back ten years is clown show stuff.

The 26th time they've backed him in one season. That's got to be a record? They'll do another one when he loses Friday and then a huge one when we draw against Brentford last game if the season. This man is the downfall of this football club and is going to set us back 10 years

@BallerTalk0 @Tumpa_Lion @Corballyred United and Chelsea sack their managers every 18 months and it’s why they are soulless dumpster fire clubs that don’t win anything anymore.

@Tumpa_Lion @Corballyred Chelsea and Manchester Utd both sacked their managers this season.

Slot is going no where 😢 Clear he is massively out of his depth and has no chance of succeeding next season. Why Hughes and Edwards are a bigger problem than Slot. Silver lining Slot, Hughes and Edwards are all gone in Summer 27👍

@sir_cdore @Watch_LFC This is just nonsense that gets repeated on twitter without any critical thought. He made some critical changes last year that got us to another level for much of the season and won us the league. This year isn’t about tactics it’s personnel, our squad has holes everywhere.

@cekbarnes @Watch_LFC Lol he basically did or continued from where Klopp ended. He failed this season because he decided to use his own style and he'll fail again if he continues same way!

@sir_cdore @Watch_LFC Of course we do because he coached brilliantly last year and everyone in and around the club knows this.

@Watch_LFC I should have stopped reading after the first paragraph! You cannot simply back a coach with no potential! You saw it in Klopp, the reason you backed him, tell me if you see any in Slot?!

@BennyScarf Polls says the opposite. Clearly you weren't old enough for the Scomo days.

Never in my life have I seen a more hated Australian government than the current one lol

@SimonBrundish Oh please. We won the league last year. We took the foot off the gas clearly when it was basically wrapped up. The title race is not something you do in a vacuum, other clubs in contention push you, the way Klopp/Pep did for a number of seasons. Forget 84, it's meaningless.

In 13/14 Brendan won 84 points in 51 goal difference In 24/25 Arne won 84 points on 45 goal difference Both had all time great seasons by the worlds best attacker that year One, had City on 86 the other 71

@KevinKelly3 @DanGodwyn @L4fckop Slot got us a title without spending a penny. I'll take that over a eruopa league final.

@cekbarnes @DanGodwyn @L4fckop The only person people whobe been largely unavailable is isak and Frimpong and he won't play Frimpong at rb anyway. No it didn't it took klopp years to completely rebuild a terrible squad and even then he got us to a europa league final and didn't spend a penny.

This is masssive low for the Liverpool fanbase for a manager who’s won the league and currently has us in *checks notes* FOURTH.

@KevinKelly3 @DanGodwyn @L4fckop And who of that 450 million (250 net) actually played on the weekend? They've been hugely unavailable. New systems take years. Took Klopp 3-4 years. Took Ferguson 5 and he almost lost his job. These things take time.

@cekbarnes @DanGodwyn @L4fckop We spent 450 million and we're stop in transition jesus you really are delduded. Who gives a shit whay he won a year ago we've been putting in shot performances for over a year and he won't implement a new system if he was going to do thay he would have already.

@KevinKelly3 @DanGodwyn @L4fckop No he deserves to stay because he won the league less than 12 months ago and hasn't really had a chance to transition the team and implement new system. If we weren't comparing with Klopp, he'd be given 3-4 years. And that's without the title and top 4 finish in first 2.

@cekbarnes @DanGodwyn @L4fckop He's absolutely spot on we are only in 4th because villa have fallen off a cliff and Chelsea are all over the place. Also no he doesn't he sounds like a supporter who isn't delduded enough to believe that slot deserves to stay becauee he finishes fourth which isn't gaurenteed.

@DanGodwyn @L4fckop As I said above. Most clubs would kill to play this woefully and get where we have this season. We're clearly in transition + have holes all over the list and a very unsettled year with Jota, injuries and severe form declines. We need a lot of work but Slot deserves chance to fix

@cekbarnes @L4fckop Lost to palace 3 times, battered by Forest and PSV at anfield, conceded the most goals from set pieces I'm the league, lost 18 games, lost 9/12 games even, city beat us twice, utd beat us twice, even Galatasaray did. We have been woeful.

@DanGodwyn @L4fckop And yet we're still 4th and got further in CL than we have in some time. So do that by playing poorly 'all the time' is pretty unprecedented.

@cekbarnes @L4fckop "Poorly in parts" is very, very generous. Only game I can think of where we actually played well was against Madrid. We didn't beat any newly promoted side at home this season, lost to wolves, dropped points to spurs and Chelsea sides struggling on the back of losing streaks

@DanGodwyn @L4fckop We’ve played poorly in parts, but the league is different these days, and far more even than it was. Teams have learned tactically to frustrate better sides, transitions are sharper, and there are very few easy games anymore. Arsenal and City have not looked exceptionally better

@cekbarnes @L4fckop How? By recognising we have played badly since the end of last season, that our manager seems void of ideas on how to change our fortunes? The league has been of a lower quality this year, everyone can see that! Am I supposed to be blind to the problem or something? Just weird.

@kwasiklsd @LFCLaurie Well there were, but far less. And that's because people liked Klopp, he truly connected with the fans. Those managers are 1 in a million, we're not getting that again. If all these supporters weren't comparing with Klopp, the heat on Slot would be far less.

@cekbarnes @LFCLaurie If you think that’s only because we are finishing 4th why people want him out you are clueless. Mind you Klopp finished 5th without CL football and no one was talking about sacking him

When Alonso takes the Chelsea job, I don’t want any fans calling him a “snake” or a “Judas”. He’d take the Liverpool job in a heartbeat if it was offered to him. Why should he put his entire career on standby because of the incompetence of our decision makers?

@JeanPierre61220 @L4fckop Our team has holes all over it and a rapidly aging older guard. Nowhere close to 80 points regardless who coaches.

@L4fckop We're gonna be on 60 points with a team which should achieve minimum 80. Barely an achievement.

@DanGodwyn @L4fckop FFS, football is a sport and as long as you play better than your opposition, then you deserve to be above them. 4th and highest CL finish in years is a good result given the season. It hasn't been a great year, but you sound like an oppo supporter degrading the team like that.

@L4fckop As embarrassing as the petition is, Im bored of seeing people defend him with the fact we are 4th. It's pure luck the teams around us have been equally as shite this season. We haven't played good football since November, he doesn't seem to know how to turn it around either.

@J1UP_grr @Proudy31589 Many? Like Klopp?

@Proudy31589 Fuck off you stupid sentimental bastard. Many mangers win the title and get sacked for being shite the season after, get a grip you spanner

Gonna say this again. I understand wanting a change of manager. I'm probably there myself, but if you're resorting to abusing the manager or even just insulting a man who was part of number 20, fuck off.

@liverpool2618 @SMXLFC lol just like last year

@SMXLFC So u want us to go trophyless for the next 5 years ok got it

A petition to get the manager sacked is peak e red behaviour. No issue with people thinking we should move on from him…but to actively go out of your way to make a petition or sign it, is an embarrassment 😂

@BelieveInKlopp @footy_road @fan_anfieldrd Lol nonsense. Klopp never even went into town, except on the bus, and for a beer once before he started the job, which he talked about.

@footy_road @fan_anfieldrd The difference is Klopp was all in, moved his family to Liverpool, was often seen walking around the city at night. He understood what Liverpool was all about. Slots family still live in Holland, and any chance Slot gets he goes to see them. He doesn’t know what it means?

This was Klopp apologising to Liverpool fans after the Brighton defeat in 22/23. You could see how much he cared and how deeply defeats hurt him. Meanwhile, Slot often sounds upbeat after losses in press conferences, throwing out funny quotes with little accountability
