Boos at Anfield, from the few fans that stayed. The rest left their team to walk alone

Its not even PSG, it's the cheaper version!

Superb 2nd half performance from Arsenal.

Absolute goal fest in the CL this evening....6 of the 9 matches producing 4 goals or more, the other 3 with 3 each.

Just a mirror of the weekend , play well for a period then crumble under a pressure- confidence is shot , players panicking , then just got predictable

In all seriousness, though, how long will it be before Liverpool fans start to realise Slot is actually under pressure.

Isn’t that something like 7 defeats in 9 in all competitions? That’s just appalling.

I think drop Salah
drop Konate and play Gomez
drop MacAlister and play Jones.
And hope Alison get better quickly

9 defeats in 12 for Liverpool.

I would not be at all surprised if he was sacked in the morning.

Nope. Liverpool don't sack managers that just won you the league, apparently.

Watch Salahs lack of effort in the second goal absolutely abysmal.
Worst player on the pitch again.
Full back just waltzed away from him
We’re playing with 10 men.

What the hell VVD is doing there

If Gomez is on the bench why is he there.?
Putting Gravenberg CB is a joke.

Gakpo got a head like a marble ,his finishing is shocking.
Individual errors are really poor

But PSV were excellent and put us to the sword

Slot looks like a rabbit in the headlights.

Always a first time.
He’s not far away imo.

Was watching this weeks podcast with Nicky Butt and Scholes. Butt was saying he is surprised that no one from Man Utd had even ever approached Roy Keane to be manager. He reckons he'd be a Sir Alex type manager, where he'd make sure he'd bring in a team who were experts at the various roles required. I tend to agree, it would have been a really interesting appointment had it ever happened. Keane is astute, he is charismatic, he is a leader, and he is actually pretty funny as well. To me he has actually come across as a pretty decent, engaging guy when doing his work in the media. It would have been interesting to see how he gets on managing a club that has lots of money to spend.

They were then both saying that if they wanted a ticket for a match, they wouldn't even know who to contact. They have season tickets for their kids, treated like any other season ticket. If they are not used for a certain number of games, they lose them. Butt had to phone a switchboard when that happened to him. It just seems absolutely bizarre to me. I thought most clubs would have a person or a small team, whose role it was to keep in touch with past players (especially players who have played hundreds of games), and who could be contacted by those players if ever a need arose. Rather then ex players having to go through switch boards like the rest of us. Maybe that was one of the positions that was made redundant?

Personally it is good to see
Players having to fanny about trying to get tickets like the rest of us. Let’s them Realise what planks the people
Are Running clubs.

Slot didn’t win them anything, he just happened to be the manager at the time.

 

[SteveW86]

It’s getting to the point where sacking him won’t be a knee jerk reaction.

Would you swop Amorim for Slot

I thought ex players had passes to the matches.
I know Liverpool do .

Is that your echo?

No. I genuinely wouldn’t.

Both as bad as each other imo!

 

[Tashyboy]

Joking aside, if Slot does go, who is available to step in.

 

[Swango1980]

Are we seeing the true Slot now?
