We were doing ok 2-0 up the subs come! He leaves Gakpo on the pitch our worst player then hag happens he looses the ball they attack konate being konate absurd tackle after that it’s dust! Coasting at 2nil and he goes to change it up with subs at least go 3-5-2 and stretch them instead it’s invite them on! Squads a mess teams a mess it’s all a mess! I can’t back him anymore! He looks clueless! I’ll leave it there.

06 Dec 2025 20:43:15
In reality we weren't great before Ekitike scored but once on the upper step we just imploded. Again. Anyway I'm fed up talking about it and all it's permutations, for me, it's really a Bodgers deja vu on loop. That last sentence may be grammatically incorrect upon revision, so excuse me if so.

Salah gave an interview to a Norweigan journo and said he's very angry that Slot seems to have thrown him under the bus the club has broken its promices to him he also said he had done a lot for Liverpool and suggested Brighton might be his last game.

06 Dec 2025 21:31:29
It’s really sad to see this. If Mo’s time with us ends badly I’m not sure what to think of the way the club is being run.

He may be a self centred character, but he should be treated as a hero when he leaves and shouldn’t need to play anything negative out publicly.

This could be it for Arne folks, if it’s true.

06 Dec 2025 22:21:23
My take on it there's been times when Mos been best player in the world, as has Vvd, last season Salahs goals along with VVD and Ali that spine (Kopps players) won us the prem, Slot gets to dine out on that and to some degree he deserved it. This season its tinker man time, he's revealed himself as the reason for the success by sticking with Konate, Kerkez and Gakpo, i just knew it when he gets the chance to drop Robbo boom he's out for Kerkez and as for Konate and Gakpo? Well you don't become crap over night but the denominator is Slot, his treatment of Chiesa and now Mo for me is sorry mr Slot the real hero is Salah not you tada back to mediocrity in Holland.

Hugo - reading your post earlier mate about our transfer business being a shambles .

Our transfer strategy has been questionable for years imo - too many false dawns of wining major trophies BUT NOT building or freshening the squad from a position of strength - we had it with Klopps great side that won the champions league and Title but because of the nature of our high octane football never freshened up positions that needed more strength in depth!

You can go back a few seasons now and pick out Ali - one of our great keepers but his injury record has been awful - what do we do? Go and buy Mama on the back of a couple of good games in the World Cup - question marks over Trent’s commitment for a season before he left - what do we do? Hope an injury prone Bradley steps up!
Konate’s never been great imo - but we keep the faith season after season knowing that another big injury to Virgyl could be catastrophic!
Robbo’s legs have been iffy for more than a couple of seasons then we buy a young kid who we crucify after a run of bad games in an otherwise shocking defence!
We’ve let our midfield meander through games without energy since Jordan and Fab went over the hill and still think Curtis Jones is the next stevie G ( he doesn’t get in any half decent prem team midfields imo )
We’ve waited season after season to replace Bobby and when we do get a marvellous talent to play that role we play him anywhere but his best position!
We’ve had Darwin who couldn’t hit a cows arse and replaced him with “the best 9 in the prem” and brought in Hugo because we needed strikers at the club because of Diogo’s tragic passing and we persevere with Cody because according to Arne we’ve no body better to play on the left!

So coupled with bringing in quality players that the manager has no clue whatsoever in how to utilise them to not strengthening major positions that have been neglected for a good few seasons it is indeed a shambles!

When we dominated English football in the 70s and 80s every close season the club brought in a couple of fresh faces - some great players but also some good honest pros - it kept the players honest - fergie Done it season after season and so did pep! Are we that arrogant that we think we can keep neglecting this issue and still compete.

06 Dec 2025 23:48:45
You’ve summed it up perfectly Bristol.

We seemed to have things in sync for a few years with Klopp and the directors, and we were as successful as we could be given the competition at the time and our approach off the pitch.

Although Jurgen got more control after Edwards left the depth of squad was always a challenge. It was often his personality and man management that pulled us through tough times before, who knows where we go during this storm.

07 Dec 2025 00:41:08
Hugo - I watched the 71 cup final
As a 7 year old kid and balled my eyes out when Charlie George scored the winner - I’ve watched the great wins the great games and the great players the saddest of times and saddest defeats and even when we were utterly Sh*t under Souness and Hodgson I felt we would always find a way back!
I’m not being overly dramatic but there seems to be things inside the club that we don’t even know about seem utterly broken and this could be such a pivotal time for us - get this next step wrong be it manager change, transfer strategy and we could be set back years.

07 Dec 2025 05:49:33
It seems the struggles Klopp had was from Edwards and i believe when it was announced he was coming back Klopp decided he's had enough, when Edwards brought in Hughes the club felt a coach vs manager was the way to go as Klopp had too much say and they felt they wanted over lord powers over financial decisions about players in or out, they want the coach to coach, so i believe the reasons Slot is treating Chiesa the way he does is because he did not want him. Hughes and Edwards have between them decided Salah has a price tag and have to force him out to raise funds, it was late last season when it became obvious that god rest him Jotta, Elliot, Kelleher etc could be sold and it seems any player at Lfc pre Hughes has a price on their head. I believe the friction is being caused by Edwards and Hughes, imagine Edwards says to Hughes get Chiesa he's cheap and then Slot says ohh ok having had next to no say in it, imagine if Edwards says to Hughes Sell Salah, we need money to buy in January tell Slot to drop Mo and watch him implode knowing Saudi will offer silly money for him.

When Heitinger left by all accounts it hit hard and the players have not responded well to it. The likes of Edwards have too much power over the manager or coach and its Salahs statement which is devastating for me to see a Legend treated this way. The problems are Hughes and Edwards Slot and Salah are justs patsis for them as the clubs top brass could not handle Klopp demands and wanted a structure where they called the shots Slots success is largely off the back of it being Klopps players. My belief is they have power over Slot and his hands are tied. Klopp is by far more of a legend compared to Edwards and Hughes. Think about it losing Klopp and now Salah is down to Hughes and co for me and unforgivable. Slots having to cope with a core of players who were responding Heitinger and are now not responding, to coin a phrase he's lost the dressing room. The pressure from Hughes and co are enough but now from the players. The managers above Slot have their fall guy. Slot, Salah, next will be Vvd then Ali, they all got price tags.

06 Dec 2025 20:01:48
Well some of these players are an embarrassment. Even if they have lost faith in Slot and his useless tactics, they need to realise they are playing for the badge, the supporters, the club and all that have come before them.


They have the privilege to wear the shirt and badge and need to start showing the hard work, commitment and desire it deserves.
Some of them have given up and it is simply not good enough!

06 Dec 2025 20:18:48
That games solely on konate for me molby. I thought we played fairly well and where much the better team. Konate stupidity brought them back from the dead, I don't think they had a shot before that. Don't think we lacked desire r determination ( we have in previous games) it's when we conceded 1 with our brittle confidence we always in danger.

06 Dec 2025 20:37:36
Konate isn't picking himself, a blind man could see he needed to be dropped weeks ago, especially now Gomez is fit. This is all at Slots door and the sooner he is gone the better.

06 Dec 2025 22:37:35
Totally agree digger.

07 Dec 2025 00:59:55
Gomez got turned inside out and Curtis got waltzed past before konate had to make the tackle. Can’t keep blaming ibou he was last man he made the tackle soft pen for me, but c'mon others getting waltzed past.

07 Dec 2025 02:03:15
I agree Digger that was all on Konate. Again.

We’d played pretty much as we did last season, in total control of the game, got the 2 goals and killed any fight they had. We were cruising to a 2-0 win.

Then Konate does that, it gives them hope, gets the crowd up and with our brittle confidence right now we wet the bed.

The 3rd goal can happen it was a set piece which we could’ve defended better but it was going out of play until it deflected off Grav’s hand and fell right to the feet of an attacker. The damage was done as soon as Konate had another brain fart and invited them back into the game.

That being said I do agree that it’s Slot’s fault for picking him. I’m not sure how bad he has to be before he’s dropped. Gomez has proved his fitness over the last few games just play him or Endo. Even Play Grav there and Endo as a 6 if you don’t trust Gomez but please for the love of god don’t put us through watching Konate in a Liverpool shirt anymore.

06 Dec 2025 19:59:29
Pretty much sums up this roller coaster of a season. Konate keeps adding to his own hapless script. If and it's a big IF! we get top 4 we will be extremely fortunate.

06 Dec 2025 19:51:23
Get him gone tonight. Anyone who defends Slot has genuinely lost the plot.
4 wins in 15, 0 GD, Gakpo playing until the 83rd minute.
Just start Isak and Ekitike.

06 Dec 2025 20:00:30
We have become a joke of a team under him this season. He needs to go, end of.

06 Dec 2025 20:04:55
Not sure what to make of it tactically tbh. If you concede three once or twice a season you say it’s an anomaly, this isn’t now unfortunately.

Some very poor individual performances, some decent ones, but more than anything it was just a really demoralising result.

06 Dec 2025 20:08:13
Whoever is responsible for coaching how we defend at set pieces needs to be replaced + Konate. Anyone who has messed up as many times in a job than Konate has would surely have been sacked by now. And I’m beginning to think Slot favours the Dutch, Gakpo should surely not be being selected and I struggle to see what Grav actually adds to the team.

Surely Endo deserves a chance. He might actually win some tackles.

06 Dec 2025 20:34:01
Would the following team actually improve us. If you look at who’s on or off form, injured etc this is arguably our best starting line up.

Ali, Connor, Jo, VVD, Kerkez, Grav, Szob, Jones, Wirtz, Ekitike, Mo.

We could debate the odd position but one things for sure, it’s not a top four team as a few are on the decline.

For whatever reason we’ve gone backwards massively.

If you look at the line up above compared to what we had a few years ago you’d say what has gone on with our transfer business. It’s a shambles.

I won’t get into coaching tonight, it needs some reflection.

06 Dec 2025 21:08:35
Jones is nowhere near good enough to be a starter. Bang average at best, was at fault for their second goal, literally let their Leeds player cut inside and pick his spot, too prone to brain farts at critical moment, he’s got no defensive nous whatsoever.

06 Dec 2025 19:46:53
When Leeds needed a foot in the game, up steps Konate with two, the gift that keeps on giving.

We literally cannot defend when put under any pressure.

06 Dec 2025 20:02:39
Konate needs to be sold in January, to whoever will take him. He is a liability, how we can draw at home after being 2-0 up is beyond me. We have become a joke, no team in Europe and the epl would be bothered about playing us, that’s how bad we are. Slot needs to go, Konate and salah in January.

06 Dec 2025 20:53:33
Would have been embarrassing beyond belief had we been at home!

06 Dec 2025 21:11:00
We weren't at home Chaos.

06 Dec 2025 19:44:50
Sigh . scratch head.

Surely that's it 5 points from possible 9. When it should have been 9

Think someone or everyone has said it . 10 months of this nonsense . this isn't a phase . its how we play under slot.

GET

HIM

OUT

I've said he is the new ten hag. It might be worse . he is the new ange . first 4/ 5 months looks like he invented the game of football. Gets found out. .
Absolutely useless from there on.

06 Dec 2025 19:44:20
Talk about throwing a game away. we in total control until konate gave away pen, Leeds where a beaten docket.

06 Dec 2025 20:14:57
All Slots fault though.

06 Dec 2025 19:42:45
I think something has to happen after that. I still don't see anything improving tbh, the changes when two up are shocking.

Can't take anymore. ? Arnie must go.

06 Dec 2025 20:15:04
Get to da choopppaah.

06 Dec 2025 20:17:10
I would have taken bradley off aswell for what its worth. kid only returned to training after been out and is made of glass. Gomez on to shore things up in a dead game where the crowd was on mute made sense. You just can't allow for a konate.

06 Dec 2025 21:27:57
Equally Florian, why did Jones casually give Stach time and space to pick his spot to equalise. Any midfielder with half an ounce of sense is going to close him down and give him no options.

07 Dec 2025 05:36:07
The first set of changes aren't to blame. It made sense to take out Bradley who is just returning after injury and Wirtz who looked knackered. What I don't get is the sitting back to defend the lead and invite pressure when clearly it doesn't work. We played much better when on the front foot.

Konate's brain fart gave the lift Leeds needed tbh. They were dead and buried before that. And Jones was weak on the second goal too. The substitutions after we scored our third was poor. Trying to sit back defend the lead was the wrong play.

06 Dec 2025 19:40:58
We should have won this game… NO EXCUSES!

We drew against the mighty Sunderland at home, meanwhile Man City thrashed them 3–0 today.

This is the state of things at our club.

06 Dec 2025 19:40:48
Well Slots subs not working this season like last. The Wirtz sub completely changed the game and then Konate slides in and gives VAR a decision to make, which to be honest I'am not sure how much contact there was.

07 Dec 2025 05:37:16
There was contact AlFred no matter how slight. It was a penalty. A needless one since their winger was going absolutely nowhere.

{Ed025's Note - im with you Drac..

06 Dec 2025 19:39:13
Result, not surprised. Konate not surprised.
However with 1 minute to go, Jones had a pitch of players to pass it to quickly. Took 2 extra touches, passed it to noone through the middle. Those kinds of things at this level plus his lack of involvement in stopping the second goal shouldn't be accepted at this level.

06 Dec 2025 19:38:58
End this farce now. Shambolic, cowardice, embarrassing, insulting, toothless, directionless, leadership.
Bring back klopp.
