I paused last night and didn’t post because I was half in shock at that performance but to also give it time to process this sh** show.
Given the pressure the manager is under and all the scrutiny the squad is getting I fully expected us to go out for the late kick off under the lights at Anfield and put them under some serious pressure. What we got was a tepid, sideways, backwards low tempo masterclass on how to kill momentum. Make no mistake we were fully controlled and dominated by a promoted side at home. Only for a last ditch stop from Chiesa we would and should have been beaten! This result should not be allowed to paper over any cracks. Our manager is starting to sound like ETH where he rewrites the narrative of the game when we all have eyes and can see the problems! The manager needs to go, honestly the press in the 1st half is enough to get any manager the sack, absolutely embarrassing, personally I don’t think there is a fitness issue or mobility issue there is a space issue, the gap from front to back is way to much, defence is dropping off, attackers pushing up and our midfield in no mans land isolated so we are never close enough to make an effective tackle. Compound all this with crazy subs, square pegs in round holes and a team that are clearly after downing tools and all u can say is the writing is on the walls, only question is when do the exec team shoot the bullet?

How long can Slot stay in the job, we are getting worse and worse.
We ain’t getting top 4 at this rate.

Really poor again last night. Been to every home game bar Madrid so far this season and I would say that’s one of the worst I’ve watched. Results might have been worse in others but at least you felt we may score a few and give ourselves a chance in some of them, last night we created literally nothing.
The substitutions are so so poor at the moment, and the system is just blowing me mind. First half Wirtz was picking up good pockets and the solution to this was to stick him wide left and put szobo who’s movement had been decent as well into the ten. It completely backfired and until we were desperate with ten to go it was so hard to watch.
The system of having fairly one footed full backs who can put a decent ball in but are not great passers and ball players generally like Robbo, Gomez and kerkhez inverting while we have players like salah and Wirtz trying to cut in our side just makes no sense whatsoever. There was a passage of play where we had the ball for 5 mins in the second half and it was constantly wirtz wide left knocking the ball the robbo on the edge and I just couldn’t believe what I was watching it’s so basic and obvious that those two should be swapped.
04 Dec 2025 07:22:39
It’s got to the point where we are Worse at home.
It’s so slow. It’s boring. Formation and Style don’t suit the current squad.
The plan: Just Crawl to January and throw more money at it.
04 Dec 2025 09:11:04
Am fuming with what’s happening to our club. How long is Hughes going to leave it before slot gets sacked. I’d I’ve let under 21 manager have a go because Nothing is changing, absolutely nothing. It’s got to the point where am thinking Hughes isn’t the right person either if he’s just going to keep letting this happen.
We are literally a laughing stock from tactics to fitness to subs It’s beyond embarrassing.

Shout to Chiesa. Thing he deserves his own thread for that effort alone
Was heartening to see the fight from the player, especially given the lack of trust and game time he gets while others who play ahead of him stink out the joint again and again and again.
04 Dec 2025 07:52:05
He embodies the spirit the team requires and deserves a chance. Thought it was a very poor performance all round but Gakpo was really not good. Maybe Chiesa in for Gakpo against Leeds?
04 Dec 2025 07:59:27
It’s a complete joke slot never plays him from the start Sunderland should of won that game we are so slow and boring too watch I even turned off the TV SLOT OUT.
04 Dec 2025 08:26:32
As above turned off at half time, the play is so dour it’s unbelievable with the players we have, slot oot.
04 Dec 2025 08:54:17
Chiesa is not the second coming of jesus. What has he done of note other than score a couple of goals and run around making lots of effort. He tries hard and it is great to see but that’s the bare minimum we should expect off players earning hundred of thousands a week.
A lot of people looking to Chiesa’s absence as a factor to why we are playing poorly yet forget the sitters he missed. I love the guy’s enthusiasm but he’s not much different to Harvey Elliot who also looked top notch when he was brought on in the 81st minute.
04 Dec 2025 06:54:27
The only game I’ve enjoyed watching this calendar year was the Madrid game. I’ve now fallen into the acceptance that we’re likely to lose whenever we play at the moment. We need a bit of spark and identity back as currently we’re losing all of that which took a long time to be rebuilt by Klopp.
04 Dec 2025 09:12:03
Didn't enjoy beating Spurs 5-1 to clinch the league title earlier this year then?
04 Dec 2025 07:21:09
What are the board seeing that we are not. Its the same thing over and over and over. Same tactics ( what ever they are ) same dull tempo, no drive no energy. The training these players are doing but consist of yoga and meditation as there won't be any hard running. I thought they all look throughly fed up last night. They have had enough of this tripe now as well. They need to ignore what Slot is saying and go out there and play. Passing slowly side ways for 90 mins does nothing .
Shout out to Fede who yet again was fantastic when he came on. That defending at the end was exactly what we needed. Slot needs to go, not at the end of the season, now. Leeds will bully Liverpool at the weekend . All they will do is be agressive, be in Liverpools face and push on and that will be enough. Liverpool are powder puff right now and can't handle that. Leeds are 3/ 1 to win, get on that as they are huge odds for any team playing against this awful Liverpool side right now.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Matchday 13 - Quick Round Up
04 Dec 2025 06:13:10
Hello Eds when do players look at the critism aimed at them individually/ team and the manager and go . boys we are better then this and start playing at a better version of themselves
If People from outside can see surely players with 10 20 years of exp feel eveeyday that current tactics are not working.
Are they not allowed to critize and discuss the tactics with coaching team?
{Ed001's Note - that is what is known as the manager losing the dressing room.}
04 Dec 2025 07:42:03
There was effort last night, but clearly a lack of quality and confidence and disjointed effort if that makes sense. The press was really uncoordinated . Ed do you know whether he’s lost the dressing room in the sense that they’re deliberately not playing their best or is it a loss of individual and team confidence type thing?
{Ed001's Note - I believe it is the latter.}
04 Dec 2025 05:07:00
With The Jan market coming up which players or positions do you feel we need new players in.
Even before the season started my concern for the lack of CB, s has yet again came back to haunt us like it has for the last few years. So for me we need to bring in at least 2 new CB's and ideally another CB/ CDM or CD/ RB.
Finally we are struggling a bit down the Left channel since Diaz Left. We are certainly fine up front but we need to find that younger replacement for Salah and someone who can also defend a bit. YNWA.
04 Dec 2025 06:42:21
For me CB and CDM are absolute musts. Slots days are numbered and those are the areas of current relative weakness regardless of tactical set up in this league. If we strengthen at CB, perhaps replace Macca (RM bound? ) with an energetic all action destroyer like Ederson or someone like that and set the team up to play to their strengths, I fully believe this is a team capable of challenging on all fronts.
Punching well below our weight right now.
04 Dec 2025 07:28:56
We are Westwood, no doubt. Of the teams above us I’d say Arsenal are better coached and have bought better. City are better coached, they’ve bought ok but not brilliantly, but are probably second best all round set up right now. Villa are the slight surprise, Emery should get a lot of credit for that as I don’t think their squad is so great. Chelsea possibly slightly better squad in some areas than ours, but not sure about their coach.
Apart from those four I’m not convinced there’s anyone we couldn’t be above in the table even though we are majorly in transition. The others like Palace and Sunderland are good hardworking teams with solid defence but nothing like our attacking depth.
Why isn’t Emery getting more plaudits? Is it an age and profile thing. Because he’s not a trendy young coach with a lot to say he’s not on the list for any other top jobs.
{Ed025's Note - because he looks like Count Dracula?.. :)
04 Dec 2025 08:13:28
Love it Ed025 😂.
04 Dec 2025 05:00:11
What we see is proof that Slots been rumbled and we are easy to play against, no team should walk into Anfield as favourites let alone a promoted team but that's what Slots produced a fool that thinks his tactics and his coaching won us the prem, if not for the passion and desire of an un fancied un liked Chiesa we lose that game but passion and desire on the pitch is the 1% of a missing ingredient that's needed to win games and to inspire a performance from others, Slots installed an entitled attitude in the players a turn up.
play well play his way and we are going to be too strong. Never seen a team like Forest or Sunderland walk off at Anfield having no fear against us. Poor form the buck stops with Slot for his treatment of Chiesa, Endo, Elliot. Clearly he don't rate em but he's saying taking credit for Chiesa, what a tool he is.
04 Dec 2025 09:14:39
You come on here at 5 am for that? Did you go to sleep last night?
04 Dec 2025 02:19:35
If we lose at Leeds Slot will be pumped!
04 Dec 2025 02:35:02
I'm hoping in the morning he's sacked. It should've been done weeks ago.
04 Dec 2025 03:32:35
Has to go. Basically gives up half a game every week by letting the players stroll around. May as well just forward to the 2nd half when we start playing with any amount of intensity. So poor.
04 Dec 2025 05:46:47
I’m not one to judge lads. What happens at Elland Road stays at Elland Road.
04 Dec 2025 05:48:25
And what we if we don't lose?
Then we continue to kick the can down the road.
Slot is not getting the best out of these players, and there are no signs of him actually changing anything.
Players playing out of position is not going to get the right results.
04 Dec 2025 06:06:23
He won't though. He'll be here on January the 1st plodding along by getting 3 points here and there.
04 Dec 2025 07:57:09
Endo3, I think you're right, mate. People don't like it on here, but he's still got the backing of the majority of supporters.
04 Dec 2025 08:03:53
Exactly, Plod ball pays dividends 1/ 5 games, otherwise it is totally inappropriate for this league.
Will we have to endure a whole season of this?
04 Dec 2025 02:01:14
Carra, got to believe Slot’s time is almost up. I hate it as I had hoped he could turn it around. Not looking good for him.
