Really poor stuff from Slot.

I think if Liverpool had any sense they'd pull the plug and get Alonso in. After such a great first season this season has been a right mess. Chelsea have a run of easy games and United have key players back and Carrick at the wheel. Liverpool could miss out on the CL unless something gives.

What is it that makes Alonso the golden ticket ? Twice he has brought teams to Liverpool and twice been outclassed and managed

Really poor from the Mackems today, but saw it coming. No Xhaka today was a big miss, but of a rest now before playing Burnley which feels like a big game.

Impressive CV, harsh to be sacked by Real and Liverpool connections plus he won't be out of work for long. The odd one off games against Liverpool mean very little. The only concern would be his preference for a back 3 but given how poor Liverool are defending this season and it looks like you've got 2 potentially good wing backs - it might be worth a risk.

Looks like his legs have gone which he needed to cope with the odd switch off. Could do with a couple of quick centre backs next to him in a back 3

He did well for a season in Germany winning the league and cup

But if Slot does go certainly don’t see Alonso as the one to come in

Would you give him the season? If not who would be your pick?

To be fair, Klopp's record was similar to Alonso before you nabbed him and at a much bigger club in Dortmund.

Klopp won the title a few times as well as reaching a CL final

And yes Slot will get the rest of the season imo

"Leave football before football leaves you" as Carragher would say (to Casemiro anyway)
