Liverpool banter 9

09 Apr 2026 08:47:59
To the poster asking about Hogan not pulling the trigger. If he seriously believes this is a "blip" as Edward and Hughes may have told him until now, he seriously needs to go too.

This is a full blown crisis.

The PSG game was about 20 games too far. Slot should have gone back in Oct / Nov.

This is no blip and anyone turning a blind eye to it being one should be sacked for gross misconduct.

The players are not fit and have given up. Van Djik said so in his last interview. I don't believe he meant gave up against City, I think gave up in general.

We have nothing to play for and Slot has made it that way.

The players are now focused on not getting injured before the World Cup and that's all their focus is on.

Slot will go and hopefully with Alonso coming in some damn discipline is reinstalled into this team.

We don't lack depth, nor did we change too much. Klopp with this team would at least challenge for the title and the CL. We are doing neither under Slot as he's useless.

09 Apr 2026 09:27:31
Forget club links, Jurgen didn't have any, who is the best coach in world football right now that is attainable?

We should move heaven and earth to get them. Given the investment on the pitch, and in the club facilities, it seems ridiculous to accept second best in the coaching.

09 Apr 2026 09:52:11
Best fits are Hoeness and Iraola if we want pulsating football.

09 Apr 2026 09:55:42
I'm shocked how unfit Ekitike appears to be. I wouldn't say he overexerts himself closing down players, but at around the 60 minute mark he's totally gassed out.

{Ed025's Note - he ran a lot for the first hour Bigh, buts whats with all these flicks and back heels mate?, he was as bad as anybody..

09 Apr 2026 10:21:26
I'm not convinced at all with Ekitike's mentality, and that's reflected partly in his lack of work rate. I think there's a promising player there, but I'd be hoping to see more from him next season. My worry is he'll regress, as Isak will hopefully get an injury free run and he'll be first choice.

09 Apr 2026 09:10:30
Just on that note and one I agree with, ED01, let's take the if's, buts and maybe's out the equation.

I think Alonso will come in the summer, Slot will leave and I have no doubt this will happen.

Given the team we have minus Salah leaving, yes, transfers could very well change the dynamics!

What do you think Alonso will bring first and foremost that we have lacked this season based on your expertise? What will he do differently to our playing style and what areas on the pitch and within the squad do you feel he will target with the club for improvement prior to next season.

I have my own thoughts, but love the site, the insight and just wanted your opinion if possible.

Thanks in advance

{Ed001's Note - he makes the players fitter and they have to work hard for him, pressing high and working as a unit. That is the key difference.}

09 Apr 2026 10:34:20
Ekitike has been fine, he's not the player im worried about. However, when the captain acts like he is, for me, it's a worry.

Our players have zero fitness for being elite athletes, and with the manager excreting no discipline, then no one is really caring anymore. They know the season is over and they have zero chance of winning anything, so all eyes are now on the WC.

We need someone to get the players fit first and foremost and firing on all cylinders. Slot has no idea about how LFC works, he has no connection with the club and is literally treating it just as a job instead of getting invested.



The "oh we need Anfield" is said with no passion, it's like it's being used as a throw away remark to try and get some attention, but he says it so empty there is little point. The only thing Anfield will be is a sess pit if we go behind to PSG next week.

Slot should have been sacked long ago, along with Edwards, Hughes and Hogan to an extent.

09 Apr 2026 11:03:25
Kerkez getting cramp with 20 minutes to go takes the biscuit. How unfit are they?

09 Apr 2026 11:19:37
Sack Hogan? Do we then sack whoever appointed him? Where does it end?

09 Apr 2026 11:24:45
Jojo, I thought it was a mental decision to trial a back 5 with wing backs on such a huge game. Having played RB and RWB in the past, I can tell you now there is a huge difference in the amount of space you have to cover, and how many high intensity runs you have to put in. You have to be so fit to do it, even at a pub league level, never mind up against Dembele and Hakimi!

An absolutely crazy decision to take players who aren't fit enough to play in a back 4 even, and then ask them to play in a back 5 where it is a completely different work load.

Even the CBs in that set up are required to run more as they have to step out into midfield and split wider, aside from the CB in the middle.

Mental decision from Slot. He bottled it, again, and just piled the defence up as high as he could. That wasn't a tactical plan, that was desperation.

09 Apr 2026 11:50:55
Registered just to post the following.
Billy Hogan can't sack Edwards or Hughes. He is the CEO of LFC/FSG but on the commercial side of the business, while also sitting on the board of the LFC Foundation as a Vice Chairman.
Edwards is his equal from a football operations standpoint, as the CEO of Football for FSG.
I use the term equal, as FSG don't own any other clubs, so he only oversees LFC's football operations.

They work together where the two sides crossover, e.g. Budgets. Both report to Werner and Henry.

Though he could probably influence Werner and Henry into pulling the trigger on sacking Edwards
and Hughes, having worked for them for 20+ years.

On a side note, imo Hogan has done a great job since joining the club.

09 Apr 2026 12:35:09
Good post, NWA, and thanks for explaining. Like you say, given our standing, financially, in world football, Hogan is doing a brilliant job.

09 Apr 2026 12:24:19
Neva

I rated Hogan, but if he is in belief Slot is still here due to this being a blip then that is not acceptable. Why are we beating around the bush and accepting abject management?

Rome - Yes sack the lot of them, if a high sitting manager / director is not performing do they get a bye? You get rid of the weak and keep the strong, not being a "football man" is no excuse for believing this is anything but a man in the wrong position that should of been sacked long ago (Slot).

Winning the league does not give him a pass (Slot) his attitude has been shocking, his arrogance and ego is in need of a good kicking into touch.

09 Apr 2026 13:28:30
Kloppofthenortheast, I've just said, we are one of the best performing clubs, financially, in world football. Hogan is in charge of that aspect of the business. Why, therefore, would you want to get rid of him? Your opinion makes no sense at all to me.

09 Apr 2026 13:30:35
Thanks.
I don't disagree that all three need to go (Edwards, Hughes & Slot).
Slot as soon as possible, with a caretaker coming until the end of the season. Stevie being the obvious choice - he has said himself that he would do anything that the club asks of him.
Edwards as FSG's quest to acquire additional football clubs has not gone as planned, so his role becomes redundant.
Hughes for the reasons that have been discussed at length on this site.

The question is how to structure the football ops side going forward.

The Director of Football and Head Coach doesn't seem to be working for LFC.

Like many posters on here, I believe that the club needs a manager (in the more traditional sense of the role). However, there should be a level of oversight, by someone with their boots on the ground in the city not across the Atlantic, that also takes on the administrative parts of the operation (negotiation of contract extension of players the manager wants to keep, sales of players that the manager identifies as surplus to requirements, etc).

09 Apr 2026 13:44:19
Kloppofthenortheast, I haven't seen Hogan making any comments that Slot still has a job due to the current form being a blip, but may not have come across it.

Either way, I wouldn't expect him to come out and say "the man is a buffoon and needs to be relieved of his duties". When things aren't going well in any business, which is what modern football clubs are, there is typically a united front from executives and upper management that the issues are temporary and things will improve.



For all we know, Hogan could be one of the people on here posting "Enough is enough, Slot Out!"

09 Apr 2026 08:25:35
Slot continues to amaze me, every week I say to myself that they can't play any worse only for the next match to prove me wrong.

PSG are a very good team, but Newcastle got a draw, Sporting beat them, even Spurs scored three against them. We didn't cause them any real problems. They looked so much better all over the pitch, and we were lucky to leave with only 2 goals against.

I'm not a sack the manager type of guy. I always hope that they will find a way to get the team back to winning ways, but I've lost all faith in Slot.

Most of the players are playing terrible. We can't press, we can't defend, we can't attack. The midfield is non existent, and when we have the ball there is no creativity.

At this point it's better to say thank you for last season and good luck with the future. With the way the team is playing I'm not sure if a new manager will get us the top 4 or 5, but I'm sure Slot will not.

09 Apr 2026 08:14:13
For those that say sacking slot is pointless now. Of course there is a point; we have to at least try. We are Liverpool and to roll over and submit is not in our DNA.

If you have a leaking tap at home, you don't wait in the hope it fixes itself; you fix it before it bursts completely. That's just normal behaviour, never mind management.

Give the job to Stevie; if he fails at least we tried and I would be happy that we gave it a shot.

I was so embarrassed about last night's performance. It is not the Liverpool way and it will not get any better the closer we are to the end of the season; he will be even more cautious in order to try and qualify for Europe and that spells disaster!

09 Apr 2026 09:23:27
@Igor, it's still pointless, imo. As for the leaking tap, your analogy would make sense if the tap just started leaking. We have been swimming under water all season as the tap has been leaking.

The time for trying is over, sadly.

That window to fix the plumbing for real is far gone. That horse is out the gate and out the county. I can keep going, lol. Slot's handlers will be solely to blame for the immense degradation of this situation. Just my opinion.

09 Apr 2026 09:46:01
I disagree, Oli. We are currently in a Champions League place with our "Destiny" still in our own hands.

I agree that he should have gone months ago, but he still had time to turn it around according to management. However, that time is slipping away with every game now, so we need to act.

The football is poor, the tactics are shocking, and with no sign of changing, something needs to be done before it's too late to salvage something. If we don't do something we will go out with a whimper without doing anything about it or at least having a go.

It's dire times, mate.

09 Apr 2026 10:27:14
"We are currently in a Champions League place with our "Destiny" still in our own hands."


Well, if you say so.

As for the second half of your response, you are saying the same thing I'm saying. You asking Slot to do what he has never done all season, which is to change. The football, the tactics etc. have been dire for months, and his handlers still told us to "Suck it up and deal with it" by not doing what we all complained should have been done.



So suddenly, City and PSG are suddenly the last straws that broke the camel's back? Really, it took this to happen for them to sack him? Nah, this ain't it.

We are in dire times indeed, my friend, and it will only get worse. I've been buckled up for the ordeal for months now. I propose we all do the same. No point howling about it cos those who could have done something months ago knowing allowed the rot to set in. Sad, I agree.

09 Apr 2026 07:43:07.
How is he still in a job after that? £450m spent to try and be more like PSG, only to end up with a worse side than last season, playing a worse 90 minutes against PSG than last season.

Opting to trial a back 5 in a quarter final?

The guy is clueless, the players are not playing for him any more.



We will finish trophyless and 11th with Slot at the helm. How he won the Premiership last season, I will never know because he is evidently clueless and lacking in the basic requirement for management: common sense.

His post-match interviews show a man totally out of his depth. He has to go. Now.

09 Apr 2026 07:53:50
The biggest Lie in football was Arne Slot's football is similar to Jurgan Klopps. ?

09 Apr 2026 08:04:22
His sack is inevitable but they have left it wait too late.

Honestly, need to get back to pressing. Premier League top teams in general do as PSG are the level and we are hundred miles off them.

The best teams in Europe still press high.

Not sure what the Premier League top teams have thought that it's not the way to go. But they are wrong.

High workmanlike team press needed. The players get crucified for effort up top, but you can't press on your own. It must be a team effort and tactic.

{Ed025's Note - you pressed from the front Davey but what were the midfield doing mate?, they were not a unit at all and yes PSG are a very good team but they were afforded far too much space imo..

09 Apr 2026 08:18:40
In theory, I guess I can kind of understand what he was trying to do in terms of keeping the score down and then bringing it back to Anfield. It kind of worked at the beginning, but in the second half you can hardly say that it was worthwhile. PSG still generated a lot of chances, and the score was kept down thanks to bad finishing on their part. It's never the Liverpool way to be passive and let the other team have the ball for 90 minutes, though, so even if it's arguably (marginally) understandable from a logical perspective, it's totally unacceptable from a fan perspective.

Nobody really looked like they knew what they were doing a lot of the time. And how can you blame them when it's such a big shift in system.

We can only hope that Slot and the players have a master plan for the home leg, and keeping the score down to 1 or 2 was the intention in Paris. We were the team that came closest to matching PSG last year, and this year we look light years away from that.

09 Apr 2026 09:59:12
The only thing Arne Slot will be pressing is his trousers. We have bought duds: Frimpong, Hugo, Mama. They are not what we want at LFC.
We also have Gravenberch, Maca, Jones, Konate, VVD, Gomez, league winners and look like relegation haunted players. I know Reds will have a go over Hugo, but he is not what you need when you have a battle on your hands. He could not hold up his hands, never mind the ball last night. He has some lovely skills, but that is not what we want right now.

We want hard work right across the pitch. We are not getting it.
We were on the other side of a football lesson last night whereas it used to be us giving out the lessons. Slot and his coaches are Championship level, and they have got us playing at Championship level. FSG need to worry; they only have to look at Man Utd. They have been going backwards for years because they took their off the ball and I am afraid it could happen to us if we don't address the situation ASAP. YNWA

09 Apr 2026 10:33:06
It was one thing playing 5 at the back, but to have cbs following players all over the pitch was a disaster waiting to happen. Playing 5, with at least 1 cdm and pressing from higher up, might have worked. Slot seems to have tried to show how good he is, but has shown the opposite.

09 Apr 2026 08:43:02
Rarely do I say you are being too nice to us Ed025, but you really are.
To play a system you've never played before away from home brought some issues, perhaps can explain the disjointed nature. However, there was little to no press from the front 3 - Wirtz sort of tried Dom was anonymous and Ekitike was weak. Behind them was the same as before - grav and macca pulled around. The worst However was trying to track players man to man. its was a total mess, and embarrassing to our club.

Only Rafa could do that type of 1 off away performance, but klopp evolved us to having a new identity - Munich, Porto, Roma amongst other away wins seem a distant memory.
Players are definitely not without blame, some careers will inevitably end now but. Slot has to hold accountability. He is responsible for this rubbish show, and once he goes Henry should ensure Edwards and Hughes follow.
We are like the UK, being deliberately mismanaged to decline.

{Ed025's Note - i cant argue wit that Ben..

09 Apr 2026 09:00:56
Ed025 am not sure how good PSG actually are I just think with everyone else being so bad it makes them look better than they are.
A lot like us last season and Arsenal this season apart from I feel the league is even worse this season teams like Bournemouth Palace Brighton seem a lot worse than last year.

{Ed025's Note - they are a good side Grino, their movement is superb for me mate..

09 Apr 2026 09:32:21
Ed025's, are you new to this party or something? Surely, you jest. We don't press as a team. Sometimes, we don't even press at all. For me, that game was pure sabotage for Slot and I'll tell ya why. First, he plays a back 5, something he has never done at LFC. He then plays Szobo in the false 9 (rather than in a CM in place of a woeful Macca with no legs), he plays Ekitike (don't even get me started on him) on the left with Wirtz on the right.

Slot did all of this while leaving actual wide players (whatever it is we may think of them) like Salah, Gakpo, Chiesa and Rio on the bench.

All of the above is why (and this is just me, btw), I say Slot sabotaged the game, completely. He played a system and put in a line up to make sure the whole team drowned. Why? I think he felt embarrassed by what happened to him at the Etihad and how the players gave up (VVD's own words) and made him look like a clueless dolt.

That to me last night, was Slot getting revenge on the players for showing him up vs City. Again, my opinion.

{Ed025's Note - i thought the forwards pressed well Oli but the midfield was so pedestrian and did not press at all, it was all too slow for me mate and having seen PSG, Bayern and Madrid over the last couple of days it just shows you how poor the Premiership really is, on a side note England are still joint favourites for the world cup...will you be having a bet on them Oli?.. :)

09 Apr 2026 09:41:57
Completely agree Ed. That was the point I was trying to make. Pressing in 1s and 2s is ridiculous and it's all we ve been doing all season.

It's like the defence has one strategy, the midfield is playing another, and the forwards another.

It is such a mess on the coaching side it's unbelievable.

Yes, we a short some needed ingredients in the squad.
Yes, the players need to take personal responsibility for the performance.

But the plan is horrendous and the fitness levels are a joke.

We need a change so bad. We are in a champions league spot and we need the change to keep that spot.

Get a coherent plan across the full team and get a rocket into them. There is still so much to play for.

Can't take the importance of that champions league spot for granted. So important that we get that. And I don't think Slot can deliver it.

{Ed025's Note - i have given up on the CL for Liverpool Davey but still think you have a decent chance of top 5 mate but more because of how poor the league is now rather than on merit..

09 Apr 2026 13:34:54
Ed25, you must be trying to take the mick out of me on purpose with the England bit, lol. England ain't going nowhere fast in the WC, IMO but again, you never know.

@Davey, we have always played this way this season under Slot with a press here, a press there, but a full press? Nowhere, man. The plan, fitness etc? What plan, fitness, etc.? because I ain't seen it.

What I can't understand is why many of our fans suddenly have seen the light after City and PSG whereas these insipid perfs. have been on show all season long.

Surely, the City/PSG results cannot be what did it?

{Ed025's Note - i just know you are big England fan Oli, it is telling that you have a union jack flying in your back garden mate.. :)

09 Apr 2026 05:31:39
Slot could become a novelist after this. With blockbusters like How to destroy a football club or How to waste nearly half a billion pounds. He's had life experience. It certainly wouldn't be fiction.

09 Apr 2026 06:25:31
Slot has destroyed the team and Edwards, Hughes and Slot have destroyed the club.

- a back five at PSG is a disgrace.
- play Rio Ekitike Salah with Jones Szboz Macca ... Rio would have had Hakimi on toast, push them back .. PSG ain't great defensively .. b proactive.



- Slot made LFC believe they are inferior.
Made them submissive, mentally weak and defeatist.

- Forget the loss, it's the manner of it all which is pathetic - what player would want to return after the summer when you have this manager at the helm ... every element is awful.

09 Apr 2026 07:01:16
Edwards, Hughes, Slot are pure evil to the Liverpool spirit.

09 Apr 2026 07:37:45
That squad last night consisted of 10 players who have finished the season poorly in the last 3 seasons, including Klopp's last season.
I don't want Slot to stay, but Gomez, Konate, Robbo, Virgil, Jones, Macallister, Gravenberch, Szob, Gakpo and Salah capitulated under pressure every time. Them winning the league last yr makes no difference to my opinion. They are not good defensively when the pressure comes. Klopp's last season going for 4 trophies.

10 prem games to play. Atlanta 0 3 at home out of euros. Piss poor Utd team came from behind in extra time to beat us in the cup, failed to win any of our remaining 5 away games, including an out battled 2 0 Derby defeat by Everton.
Salah and Gakpo have failed to deliver this season compared to last season, but lets not put this down just to Slot. This team of players find it hard to defend when the pressure comes.

09 Apr 2026 07:47:09
Season ended in November.

09 Apr 2026 08:00:36
Get ready for the players to say they can't explain how it's going wrong, and whatever excuse Slot comes up with?

09 Apr 2026 07:59:08
Ed's some of the comments here are way over the top. Evil is what is being doing in a Lebanon currently.

{Ed025's Note - i agree with you Tom..

09 Apr 2026 08:13:33
Does anyone know what time the players intervention meeting is today please.

09 Apr 2026 08:22:34
They had to re-schedule the last one, JK, as MacAllister kept falling over during it and Konate's positional sense meant he went to the wrong room.

09 Apr 2026 09:09:52
I think Slot's time is up but at least he tried something different last night by going to a back 5, it didn't work but at least he tried something different. I thought Marma had a decent game and Gomez, Kerkez is looking promising, but I couldn't believe he went down with cramp after 60 odd mins, which typifies how the team is unfit.

You could see Ekitike also start walking at 65 mins. PSG looked light years ahead and reminded me of us 5 years or so ago, pressing monsters and recovering the ball back very quickly. Ahh well, onto Fulham.

09 Apr 2026 09:35:02
Postklopp, I thought Slot hung all those players out to dry with that back 5 formation. Also, notice that we were spamming free kicks from 60/70 yards from their goal into their bow, something we would have laughed at other teams who spent as much as we did, for doing.

09 Apr 2026 09:35:26
Hp calling Slot evil is very harsh, to say the least.

09 Apr 2026 10:03:24
Worzal69, you think Slot's time is up!!! Really, mate, where have you been all season, mate?
A bit late to the party there, mate lol.

09 Apr 2026 10:29:38
@Albeydered, Been saying it. It took City and PSG to get here? Man's been saying this since Sunderland in Nov.

Well, as LeBron said after he won his first NBA ring, "It's about damn time".

09 Apr 2026 00:14:50
One positive from tonight.

Last time we played back 5 we lost 3-0 to Palace.

We are improving!

09 Apr 2026 05:32:54
Got me thinking, we were 3 - 0 down to Barca after the first leg. We had Bobby and Mo missing, and nobody gave us a chance. But we'd seen what we could do on European Cup / Champions League matches on a Wednesday night at Anfield, so we had a chance.

2 - 0 down to PSG - midweek match at Anfield.....



For the first one, we had Jurgen, heavy metal football and belief. Next week, we have Arne and a bunch of players who would struggle against the top 6 teams in the Championship at the moment.

We might be in the top 6 in the PL and the last 8 of the CL, but we've fallen a long, long way.

09 Apr 2026 07:03:12
Wdw, then we have mentality monster manager in Klopp. This team is mentality strawberry, crumble easily.

09 Apr 2026 07:45:31
Mentality midges, squashed easily.

09 Apr 2026 09:12:39
We were unlucky to lose that Barca game 3-0 in the first leg. A draw would have been a fair result. We went into the 2nd leg at least thinking we had a chance, even without Mo & Bobby.

Yesterday, we were lucky it was only 2-0. We couldn't have complained if it ended 5 or 6.

09 Apr 2026 09:35:46
That back 5 and the positions some of the players held were a disgrace.

09 Apr 2026 10:09:06
Lamborini, mate, I think you are being kind with 5 or 6. I would have said 8 or 9, mate. It was men versus boys. They will score at Anfield. They are the best team in Europe, with Bayern 2nd, Arsenal 3rd.

09 Apr 2026 00:11:01
Hello fellow reds.

Just my opinion on the game tonight. It was demoralising as it looked like we wernt even trying to score. I know PSG are a great team but it's not like we have champiinship players!
It's also a joke how they had their previus game postponed and have no weekend game either, giving them a week off for both legs, as if they needed any more advantages over us, especially with their squad.

Also, just my opinion.

I know it looks likley to be Alonso as I dont see slot staying beyond the summer but the way Alonso plays football in not too disimilar to slots. I know this will cause division for people, but I would like the club to go for Diego Pablo Simeone as next manager, he will definetly light some fires and get the players going again, like Klopp in some ways, hes great at getting players to play beyond their limitations.

Thoughts fellow reds?

09 Apr 2026 00:54:44
Atletico Madrid's manager? No way, man, his football style is simply disgusting.

09 Apr 2026 04:47:34
Pubehead can do one with this anti football

09 Apr 2026 05:49:21
You can probably count on one hand the number of Liverpool fans who would agree with you on that appointment, there's no way in hell the club would even view him as an option, and he doesn't even speak English.

09 Apr 2026 06:35:54
Gujar. I am one of those Chewy mentioned, and I said as much before X-Mas.
I think he gets a lot of stick from fans that don't watch his football a lot, and base their opinions on how they have played against us, where he has set up more defensively. I don't think that's fair. He has taken an also ran team from Spain and had them consistently challenging at the highest levels of national and European football for a long time now. His teams can defend well, can play attacking football, but I think more than anything have grit, fight, determination and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win in absolute spades.

That's where I think the merit comes from for him, given we currently seem to have about as much spine as a cheese string.
I wouldn't be against it at all, but I do also think we should give the likes of Alonso priority.
A lot of talk right now about how even Gerrard would be an improvement. Not quite sure how people could say that in one breath but then say a proven winner wouldn't be suitable. Simeone for me has just as much credibility as an option than any other candidate, not that it will happen anyway, as Chewy says, I don't think he speaks the language and is in his element at Atletico.

09 Apr 2026 08:18:11
PSG played last Friday in the cup and beat Toulouse 3-1, so had 1 more day's rest.

You're correct, they don't have a game this weekend either, but to even things out, none of our players have actually technically tried to play a game of football in months.

09 Apr 2026 09:37:10
SlotSlitS***Shot, that wasn't anti-football. That was sabotage from the manager, imo.

09 Apr 2026 10:12:06
Gujar, are you Simeone's agent? I would not want him near Tranmere Rovers, never mind LFC.

09 Apr 2026 12:09:21
Oli, I was talking about Da Ego Simian, not Slot. I wouldn't call a Liverpool manager or coach names like Pubehead.

For the last time, "style of play" is not the reason Slot should be sacked, nor should it be the determining factor in whether Xabi Alonso is our next manager.
Slot needs to go because he is wholly unsuited to being the Liverpool manager for a dozen reasons more important than style of play.

Our aimlessness directly stems from these reasons.
Simeone's aggressive, hardworking qualities would be a far better character fit than Slot, but there are other reasons he would end up failing, albeit far less disastrously than our current imposter of a manager.

When Fergie left Manutd it's taken 13 years and counting of Transition and they still aren't anywhere near the heights of SAF. I hope to God we sort this mess out and learn from the mess Manutd made post Fergie. Klopp is loved by fans and players alike. He is a genius and is very hard to replace. Slot is not the answer.

09 Apr 2026 01:24:28
Fergie left bad team. Slot inherited good team. Can't compare both.

09 Apr 2026 06:34:49
We also won the title the season after he left, so that has to be the most dumb comparison?!

We've had 1 great year and 1 s*** year, let's not spiral ey?

Like the other poster said, Utd's squad was shot to pieces. We have the making of an exciting one that needs the right leader and few extra good signings.

@Stg, please, compare what is actually comparable.

Said we should have fired Slot a few days before the City game. More than half of the people on here basically said "what's the point now? Just wait till the season ends".

Well, considering we were still in the FA Cup, UCL and fighting for top 4. Now look at the ucking state of us. Smashed by City, PSG embarrassed us and I have no confidence against Fulham. Not getting top 4 will be a disaster.

People on here should have a word with themselves.

09 Apr 2026 05:59:10
Have a word with ya self, making up stories.
Like it or not, that was a great result and a good performance last night.
I still want Slot gone, I still question Virgil's captaincy. But I'm not fuming at the players like I was on Saturday. There was some fight and care in there.

And, top 4 doesn't matter, 5th is what we need.

09 Apr 2026 06:24:12
We will not get 5th place. Edwards and Hughes have blown it and will be shown the door in the summer along with Slot. They had plenty of time to react, but obviously did not think anyone else could do a better short term job. I disagree, but this mess we are in is because people who are paid vast amounts of money to take decisions didn't.

They chose the easy route. In my opinion, that is not leadership and not what the club needed. Slot should have been removed months ago, it was the right call. All that has happened is 3 people have had their reputations damaged unnecessarily out of either stubbornness or incompetence. That for me is such a shame, it didn't need to be like this.

"Like it or not, that was a great result and a good performance last night."

That could well be one of the most depressing posts I've ever read on here.

If you honestly believe that, then our standards couldn't really fall much lower.

09 Apr 2026 07:13:02
It's okay mate I got told to lighten up after the City game because I said Slot is clueless. He is either very stupid or purposely sabotaging this club.

09 Apr 2026 07:27:53
Wassa, that PSG side is a phenom - starting to look as effective as Pep's best teams, Zidane's Real and our best Klopp side. Holding that to 2-0 ain't a bad effort. I've not had much good to say about our performances this season but that was solid.

{Ed025's Note - how was that solid?, you were very lucky not to 5 or 6 down and had 30% of the ball and not a shot on target mate..

09 Apr 2026 07:33:13
"Like it or not, that was a great result"?

Eds; any chance of getting a thumbs down button added to this site?

{Ed025's Note - some posts you just have to ignore and skip past so as not to give it any credence Red7, ...this is one of them mate..

09 Apr 2026 07:48:31
kjh2477 you're talking utter BS

09 Apr 2026 07:55:36
"Like it or not, that was a great result and a good performance last night."

Absolutely delusional. There was nothing great about the performance. No shots on target and less than 30% possession. They carved us open at will, and we looked devoid of any answers.

If you think next Tuesday is going to be any different, you're sorely mistaken. Slot has no answers to this, the team is disorganised and unfit. Last night was every bit as awful as Bodgers' attempt at damage limitation against Madrid.

09 Apr 2026 08:23:47
I must have watched a different game last night.

In fairness to kjh, the game he watched, Rushie, Barnes and King Kenny were our stand out performers.

09 Apr 2026 10:15:54
My glasses are tinted as red as it gets and even I can't say that was a good performance. In fact, I can't find any positives in going to Paris and rolling over to have our tummies tickled.

09 Apr 2026 09:41:02
@kjh2477, what that football are you on about? A great performance? You saw fight? Really, you saw that? With what eyes? Slot's?

Mate, you must be on Slot's payroll because that was the most insane take of the game I have heard. Jeez Louise, just stop.
