Hey ed001 and other posters
Would you keep slot next season if we were to somehow win champions league, can only dream but not impossible.
Or would you take alonso next year.
I think I m Alonso all the way.
Cheers.
{Ed001's Note - depends on what happens along the way. If we continue to play the same crap as last night, no point keeping him. If he learns and improves the footie, then I would be thinking a UCL is worth keeping him for.}
07 Mar 2026 15:45:02
He's persevered with the crap football for a year now. He's unlikely to learn or adapt.
07 Mar 2026 16:08:01
I thought we played well in the second half last night. Just my perspective.
07 Mar 2026 16:14:21
Yeah, we did, Hessle. But that's more like an exception than the norm. More than once this season, we have been hopeful that Slot has learnt his lesson and reverted back to what worked last season, but he has persistently kept the dross that we have been seeing.
I am slightly jaded with that, so I can't see him ever learning from his mistakes this season, tbh, and I think it's best that we part ways.
07 Mar 2026 12:55:58
I thought I responded to a post last night about Slot staying or going but can't seem to see it posted?
To summarise, I wouldn't want a manager who wins a league and Champions League in his first two seasons sacked.
But I think the reason so many want him out is because of his inability to drop players out of form or to make early substitutions when things obviously aren't going well (like he did the first game last season with Quansah).
More importantly, the back and forth to Holland when he should be on the training ground getting these players in better nick really does wind me up. I get it's his family, etc., but selfishly I want a Liverpool manager who is "All in" for my club like Klopp was and gives everything to it.
Listening to him (and he seems a nice enough guy), I just can't see the passion in his eyes.
{Ed033's Note - Your previous post that made it through to us was 03 Mar 2026 15:33:54
07 Mar 2026 17:24:27
This talk of keeping Slot, if we win the CL, is all a bit premature, really. Have you seen our side of the draw?
07 Mar 2026 11:51:57
To lighten the mood, over the years, whose away fans have impressed you the most?
My favourites date back to my youth and those glorious European nights.
First up, the fans of Trabzonspor, back in 1976. Turned up in their thousands and created a terrific atmosphere. I think that we were all surprised by the level of support but all good natured, from recollection.
Next up, Real Sociedad, whom I am sure everybody just referred to as San Sebastian, back in 1975. They didn't have the largest support but they must have had some of the friendliest and happiest supporters that I ever met. Despite being trounced 6-0, they were still bouncing and singing and sharing their wine, using the high-pour technique, which was a new one for me. That experience was a driving force for me to make San Sebastian my first stop, when I first visited Spain, in 1981, when it surpassed my already high expectations. Great people.
Finally, the unbelievable fans of Saint Etienne, with their green wigs, at the greatest game that I ever attended. What an atmosphere they created, driving The Kop to the loudest that I have ever heard them sing. Brilliant atmosphere and some new chants for the The Kop to adopt.
Who are everybody else's favourites?
07 Mar 2026 12:44:28
I don't go as far back as you, mate, but I'd have loved to have seen those 1970s nights at Anfield live.
I have, though, been to every European home game for the last 30 something years, which is scary, really.
The best away fans tend to be the smaller clubs, but I seem to always just forget about them very quickly. I've always said that PSG were the best away fans (of the big boys) until Firmino finally shut them up at the death.
07 Mar 2026 12:52:51
The Celtic fans in the second leg. It still makes my hair stand on end when I remember everyone singing You'll Never Walk Alone. Also, the Dortmund fans after the 4-3. Had such a laugh with some after the game in town.
07 Mar 2026 12:56:57
Great shout regarding PSG. I don't know whether there were any sound enhancements made by the broadcaster, but the atmosphere they created at last year's Champions League final was something else. It was like they never stopped.
I thought that their fans had a bit of a bad reputation, but my nephew, who has attended away games at the Parc des Princes, says that their fans were great and no bother at all, which was nice to hear.
07 Mar 2026 14:43:52
That's a great post, Kloppite.
I agree with LFC8 regarding the lesser-known European clubs having the best away support. Augsburg, a few years back, were crazy. I also agree with him about PSG supporters.
Great support, and I don't think I've ever come across a more intimidating set of supporters. I got caught up with them last season. All seemed to be dressed in black and looked like they were about to go into battle!
07 Mar 2026 09:21:24
A lot of negativity on these pages recently, so something more positive for a change.
I thought Nyoni did very well when he came on. I’ve not been overly impressed when watching him before, but positionally he was good and he used the ball well.
Rio was good too, although I’d love to see him make more runs in behind instead of always wanting the ball to feet.
Anyway, a good win and nice to see some of the younger lads contributing too.
07 Mar 2026 09:34:32
Great to have something positive to talk about for a change. Rio had a great game, and I hope he starts to get more minutes from now. It'd be good to see more of Trey; tbh he's a player I've not seen much of.
07 Mar 2026 10:09:56
Midfield is a tough position for youngsters to shine. Nyoni was pretty impressive in the time he had on the pitch, and Slot and co, obviously, think enough of him to keep him in the matchday squads every week. He may not be as exciting as Rio, but his ceiling is just as high.
07 Mar 2026 12:00:33
Nyoni has impressed me more often than not. For a player of his age, with the opportunity in front of him, he has looked really composed on the ball, and gets stuck in when needed. He has a point to prove and, for me, should have been given more chances than he has been given.
I really hope he is not the disgruntled youngster that has been mentioned a few times, because I think he could be an adequate squad option, with the possibility of more.
A bit of the Gini about him. Once he develops physically, and gets game time at a decent level (a loan next season, I suspect), he'll surprise some people.
Then again, with Jones likely leaving, he may get opportunities next season with us, and a manager that isn't afraid to play youngsters more often.
07 Mar 2026 14:32:07
I love how chill Nyoni is when he receives the ball. He has such confidence in taking the ball and moving it to another player.
07 Mar 2026 14:34:46
Raoul if you watched the game game Rio made a number of runs behind their wing back but was not given the ball or the pass over hit.
Also their wing back fastest in the league was subdued because of Rio on Tuesday their wing back gave us problems all game nothing last night mate. In short Rio did his job and a very good job it was.
YNWA
07 Mar 2026 08:56:51
So, just checking in to read on people's thoughts of the game last night.
Unfortunately I didn't get to see it, I fell asleep. Not because of the bore fest we tend to serve, I simply just couldn't keep my eyes open.
We won at least, so on we keep marching.
07 Mar 2026 09:14:03
Jlc, a win is a win, and well done to the lads, but it was pure dross to watch.
07 Mar 2026 09:38:41
First half, not much to comment on apart from Rio looking threatening.
Second half was a good watch, with 3 very good goals.
07 Mar 2026 09:47:08
I know it's not difficult, but it was a vast improvement on Tuesday's performance. First half was poor again, but when we started to move the ball a bit quicker in the second half, the game was easy for us.
07 Mar 2026 09:55:24
Pure dross to watch? I enjoyed 90% of that 2nd half personally. We could have scored 6! But, of course, it was dross. Yawn.
07 Mar 2026 10:13:39
Never once felt nervous that Wolves could get a goal, let alone beat us. The first half was controlled and cautious. Then, we opened them up in the second and should have scored 5 or 6. Great result and a decent performance.
07 Mar 2026 10:19:47
Liverpool were all over them from the get go, albeit not exactly playing incredible football, but there was only going to be one winner.
Just a shame that they didn't play with more urgency on Tuesday.
Rio had a good game and Flo came on for the last 20 mins and came through unscathed.
Cracking goal from Robbo and tidy finish from Curtis.
Decent Friday night by my reckoning.
07 Mar 2026 11:31:02
Only seen the goals. Was at a George Michael tribute act.
07 Mar 2026 12:12:33
I'd like more of that dross every week, please!
07 Mar 2026 12:15:34
And there's me thinking I had a good night, Rome.
07 Mar 2026 14:14:16
Was it Rob Lamberti, Rome? I've seen him, he was brilliant!
07 Mar 2026 14:49:12
Bobby, it was, mate. I agree with you, he was brilliant.
07 Mar 2026 16:10:10
If we'd won 6-1, people like Barry from Louth would find fault. The second half was a good performance. Support the club, or go and follow City with its fair weather fans!
07 Mar 2026 07:47:07.
Robbo’s interview would’ve got him straight into the Boot Room. An all-time Anfield legend.
07 Mar 2026 08:03:41
Agree, mate, absolute legend on and off the pitch.
07 Mar 2026 08:17:54
Agreed, always pays to have a scout in the team..... Legend Robbo.
07 Mar 2026 08:46:41
He gave Kerkez huge credit.
07 Mar 2026 11:37:49
I always think it's good to have a Scot in the team as well, Magico!
07 Mar 2026 12:13:41
The man always speaks well. He's not a robot with token answers like pretty much every footballer out there these days. Will be really sad to see Robbo go this summer. :(
06 Mar 2026 22:39:50
Why do teams we play look hard to beat, yet we don't?
06 Mar 2026 23:58:14
Give it a rest.
07 Mar 2026 06:51:10
Good win last night. Beat Gala, then Spurs, and it'll be another corner nicely turned.
Looking at league fixtures left: Spurs (h), Brighton (a), Fulham (h), Everton (a), Palace (h), Utd (a), Chelsea (h), Villa (a) & Brentford (h), how many points do people realistically think we'll get?
I think we'll get between 12-15, which takes us to around the 60-63 mark.
07 Mar 2026 07:09:51
27 points.
07 Mar 2026 07:43:55
An optimistic 17 points.
07 Mar 2026 07:53:06
18, I reckon. Probably enough to scrape Champions League football.
07 Mar 2026 07:54:40
Honestly, I'll say 13-15. Nothing off Chelsea and United, and possibly Everton and Palace.
07 Mar 2026 09:19:06
Spurs (h) 3pts.
Brighton (a) 1pt.
Fulham (h) 3pts.
Everton (a) 1pt.
Palace (h) 1pt.
United (a) 0pts.
Chelsea (h) 1pt.
Villa (a) 1pt.
Brentford (h) 3pts.
So I'll say 14pts. I think we'll finish 6th, personally. I hope I'm wrong.
07 Mar 2026 10:16:53
Everton and United are the only ones to take points off us.
21-25 points coming up.
07 Mar 2026 10:30:13
I'm not far off that, MK, but I think we'll take a point off UTD away, and I think we'll beat Chelsea at home.
That takes us to 63 points, I think, and scrapes 5th.
I think Villa are on the slide & they miss out.
07 Mar 2026 11:17:47
We won't win another game this season in the league. Teams have, well and truly, figured out Slotball. All they will do is play a flat back 10 for 75 mins, then score twice on the counter in the last 15 mins. I see no better than 5 draws in the remaining fixtures.
Gala will win the CL tie 5-2 on aggregate, and that's being optimistic. In the FA Cup, we stay in till we play City or Arsenal. Maybe a 7th place league finish. Hopefully, Slot then leaves.
07 Mar 2026 11:20:44
We've turned so many corners, JK, that we're going around in circles.
07 Mar 2026 11:46:34
You've spoilt things for me, Kimuraking. I don't think I'll bother going. Seriously, do you honestly think Galatasaray will beat us 5-2? I'll donate money to a charity of your choice if they do.
07 Mar 2026 12:09:35
Pretty close to mine, MK, but I have us beating Palace and drawing against United.
07 Mar 2026 12:18:03
Nothing quite like a bit of petulance, eh, Kim?
07 Mar 2026 12:18:50
Jlc more corners than Arsenal's set-piece.
07 Mar 2026 13:41:54
We'll trash Utd. They are woeful.
06 Mar 2026 21:34:42
Hey ed001 and other posters
Would you keep slot next season if we were to somehow win champions league, can only dream but not impossible.
Or would you take alonso next year.
I think I m Alonso all the way.
Cheers.
06 Mar 2026 22:22:03
I would not keep Slot. I have learnt this season that even if we were to win trophies, being incredibly dull to watch is not worth it to me.
I can't really take joy in winning trophies when I can't stand watching my own team.
06 Mar 2026 22:23:42
Won the Premier League and Champions League. Then sack?
06 Mar 2026 22:23:54
I'm the same, Aimar.
I have lost confidence in Slot during this season and, whilst he is capable of a cup run, I don't have faith that he can string together another 38 game run to compete in the league. His team selections are also a bit baffling.
06 Mar 2026 22:35:22
I would've parted ways with Slot a while ago, but if he wins the Champions League this year, after winning the Premier League the year before, 100% u keep him and extend his contract.
06 Mar 2026 22:44:23
Agreed, Digger.
06 Mar 2026 22:52:09
Been saying it, Digger. Slot wins No. 7? He stays, and we'll handle the rest later.
06 Mar 2026 22:53:32
It was amazing winning the league last season, but the drop-off and the way we have played most of the season have been terrible, and that's down to Slot.
06 Mar 2026 22:55:51
I'm with Oli. Winning a CL is one of those rare treats, so if that means sticking with Slot, I'd take it on that sole condition.
06 Mar 2026 23:37:15
For me, the league form and winning the league will always be the judge and jury. Cup wins and runs can sometimes be down to luck. We play more games in the domestic league, and this season has been a failure. The team doesn't seem like a team. And that's down to the head coach.
06 Mar 2026 23:57:56
A Champions League win and a Premier League win in his first two seasons.
You'd have to give him next year at least if he pulled that off.
07 Mar 2026 00:02:13
If we get to the FA Cup and/or CL final, would any of the constantly whinging, what-if Slot Out Gang want a ticket for the final(s)? Genuine question.
07 Mar 2026 01:47:44
WDW, given they support Liverpool and not Slot, I'm sure they would. Both can be true - wanting Liverpool to win every week and wanting Slot out.
Personally, for me, I like to watch good football, and although not as important as winning, it is a very close second.
Even if we won the champs, which we won't, btw, I would still get rid of Slot, as I can't watch another season of this awful, awful football.
07 Mar 2026 02:37:59
I agree, Davey. And we'd just need to convince Slot that the Prem is just a 38 game cup run.
07 Mar 2026 03:30:04
This is only Slot's second season. He's learning on the job. This isn't war games, where he gets to run scenarios over and over, and hone the results. His team ran out of legs last season, so this season he's trying something new. Ok, it hasn't worked, but he's trying things. Seems the reaction from a lot of folks is to rip it up and start again, but in real life, the only option is to try things.
If he does win the CL (which, by the way, I think is very, very unlikely), then, of course, he's navigated the second season correctly. We'd all be over the moon, and credit where it is due.
07 Mar 2026 05:18:30
Realistically, you couldn't justifiably sack Slot if he won the CL, no matter how poor we've become.
Regardless, I'd still want to see him gone, not because of the success or failure, but because there are too many red flags in how he's managing the team - the lack of fitness of the squad, the stories of him going back to Holland constantly, the poor usage of the young players, the nonsensical excuses for everything, our dour style of play.
The list goes on.
07 Mar 2026 06:52:41
If Slot wins the CL then there's no way he gets sacked.
But that's only my opinion. If he were to win the CL and FSG sack him, then it would be interesting to see how some posters react.
07 Mar 2026 07:13:48
So, if we got to the FA Cup or CL Final, would you go to watch the "awful, awful football"?
07 Mar 2026 07:32:35
Give it a rest, WDW. You are like a kid debater
07 Mar 2026 08:13:14
Be a good send off for him to win the Champions League. Seriously, not going to happen. We'll beat Galatasaray and then probably bow out. The FA Cup to save his job? Not a chance. A competition where so far we've beaten Barnsley, Brighton and Wolves, with 3 games to go to a final? Surely that isn't enough to keep a manager on these days. If we were having a great season and picked up the FA Cup, yeah, but we aren't, are we.
The football is the main issue. If we were playing great attacking football and getting beaten in the odd game, fine. I could accept that, knowing a few changes in players could sort it. However, the football is dire, and quite frankly only Hodgson gets close to this rubbish. I still can't get my head around not going all in for Semenyo. Poor judgement all season, I'm afraid.
07 Mar 2026 09:40:33
He wins number 7, I still want him gone. The football is dire and has been all season. I, for one, and most, don't want another season like this one. Keeping him won't improve how we play. I wouldn't have kept Woy even if he won big ears.
07 Mar 2026 11:07:39
You must be deluded if you think we have a chance of winning anything this season.
In both CL and FA Cup, as soon as we come up against a team with quality, we'll be out. Our football is dire, mentally we are fragile, and our manager has shown he doesn't learn from deploying useless tactics time and again.
It would not surprise me one bit if Galatasaray and our next FA Cup opponents end our season.
07 Mar 2026 11:41:11
@Barnsey87, the question stands - every man and his dog rush on here to slag Slot off when we lose. They even find spurious ways to slag him off when we win and even when we - very rarely this season - play well. The bloke has received very little, if any, credit, even though we are - at this moment in time - in the last 16 in the CL and the last 8 in the FA Cup, and with a possible 27 PL points to play for, we are only 3 points from CL qualification.
The common opinion is that we are boring and rubbish all the time, so I think, in my opinion, that it's a valid question. Given Slot is apparently responsible for everything, would all the critics be arsed going to the final(s)? I imagine if we got to a final, and God forbid won, it would be despite Slot, not because of Slot - even though, as I say, he's accountable for everything, which is a pretty myopic view and/or just plain hypocritical.
07 Mar 2026 13:48:46
It would be known as the Klopp final, WDW.
07 Mar 2026 14:35:09
😁😁😁 Made me laugh, @FM. Personally, I'll never forgive Jurgen for not replacing Gini - we are still struggling in midfield to this very day.
07 Mar 2026 15:49:46
Gini was like a metronome, and I loved his ability to retain the ball under pressure.
