Very late good evening gents, but I've been told Slot is unlikely to last until the summer.
Gerrard in talks.
Cheers.

Gerrard needs help, even on an interim basis.

I'd take Paul Gerrard at this point.

The only person who needs help in a Slot.

If Slot is in the dugout on Weds night, Galatasaray will be licking their lips. The team is adrift, and has been for months.

Not sure Gerrard is the answer, but something has to change!!
It's all way too late though.

I've been one of the ones who has stood up for Slot, but even I can't do it anymore. It's not improving.
I would prefer Alonso or Enrique in as permanent now rather than an interim though.

Gerrard wouldn't be the choice for me long term, but till the end of the season I'm more than happy. Think he will do the basics right, pick players in their right positions and hopefully give the crowd a lift. People who leave it are going to Anfield bored s***less and can't wait to leave at the moment.

For sure, Gerrard would ruffle feathers and get the team fighting. Not a long-term solution, but right now we are watching a death by a thousand cuts.

I just hope Gerrard's ego doesn't overshadow what needs to be done. Hopefully, he can instil a die for the shirt mentality that Klopp created and Slot has destroyed within 12 months.
Can't see us winning Wednesday with Slot in the dugout. But if he loses, that has to be it for him.
{Ed001's Note - at least Gerrard's ego was all about winning and wanting to be the best even in training, which is something we could do with right now.... yes I am looking at you Virgil.}

In this day and age, everyone seems to need a carrot and a stick to motivate them. The what's in it for me brigade.
Not sure what that is for a manager coming in with potentially only 10 games to go.
You'd think the bonus money of qualifying for the CL would spur them on, but again, is a bonus to multi-millionaires really that much of an incentive?

Told you all about Gerrard, as it's been lingering for several weeks. Cheers for confirming it, bud.

Ed001 what is the problem with Gerrard Ed am not talking about his tactics am talking about the man himself that so may people don't like.
{Ed001's Note - he is not known for being a nice person mate. He spent his entire life being told how great he was, so he has developed a bit of understandable arrogance. On the pitch, it made him a great player - but did stop him developing the defensive aspects that would have made him the greatest player we ever had without question and led to him refusing to continue playing on the right for Rafa. To then have him talk constantly about how he would play anywhere for England and happily play on the left for them put people's backs up as well.
Then there were a few incidents, falling out with teammates that meant they left Liverpool as he and Carragher were in control of the dressing room. Some of it was silly, like falling out with Torres as Nando didn't want to go on a lad's night out midweek because he had a newborn baby.}

JL23, I think Stevie would relish the opportunity to manage his beloved club; he was part of it through highs and lows as a player.
Also, his short managerial career hasn't been the best, so imagine he comes in, lights a fire in these players, wins most of his games till the end of the season...
that would definitely raise his status as a manager for a job next season in the Championship or lower teams in the EPL.

Right now I'd welcome Gerrard. I think that managerial ability is less important right now compared to getting some pride and hunger into the players.

Gerrard with Buvac as his assistant, bring Big Sami back to show the team how to defend, and Fowler to show the forwards how to score. ?

If anything was going to happen, it would have happened by now. Slot should have been relieved of his duties after the Forest game earlier in the season, when there was some chance of salvaging a title challenge.
We'll get to Wednesday, we'll more than likely fail to beat Galatasaray, and then limp on to the next opportunity to drop points in the league.
At this point, giving Slot more time is beyond negligence and is straight up self-sabotage, as he clearly has no plan on how to fix things and it's evident that he's lost the players.

Ed1, how good do you think he can be if he continues playing on the right? He doesn't strike me as someone who can consistently beat defenders one-on-one, but he can certainly whip a good ball into the box.
I remember when you said that his arrogance stopped him from developing the defensive aspects of his game. At that time, people were always raving about him making hard, crunching tackles and so-called last-ditch tackles. But as you said before, great defenders never need to make last-ditch tackles.
{Ed001's Note - I think he would have been even better than he was because he would have developed the defensive aspects helping to cover his full back and become the best in the world at the time, when he eventually moved central.}

Stevie and Heitinga interim would be ok.
