That moment Arne Slot went and sat in the dugout by himself explains it all now.
He knew his time was up but, he knew it was a day for the two legends to say goodbye. It was their moment.
I do hate that he’s suffered the toxicity of an emotional season, so it’s only right we applaud him for his efforts at the club and what he gave us!
He’s still helped provide us a platform for next season, and it’s the right decision for someone else to take us through it.
They wanted to get through the season.
They didn't want to go the interim route.
The "backing" he got has always been Liverpool trying to quieten noise.
They made moves to replace him in November.
They blocked the hiring of Heitinga.
They didn't give him a new deal.
Actions over words.
I thought they should have sacked Slot months ago.
Lots did.
But they couldn't get who they wanted.
And they didn't want to go the interim route. Understandably.
If we end up in the CL next season, it won't have been the wrong decision to keep him until of the season.
Van Dijk is better on the ball than Rio
Van Dijk is better in the air than Terry
Van Dijk is better one on one defender than Vidic
Van Dijk is more powerful than Sol
Van Dijk dominated 4x as long as Stam
Van Dijk is the GREATEST defender @premierleague has ever seen
An historic stadium, a place where we have fought against one another and stood with each other. Highs, lows and so many memories.
The end of an era at Goodison Park and the beginning of a new one.
He's had every single fanbase in the country rattled to death all season, went and pissed the league, and now he's in Ibiza getting off his barnet. My fucking gorgeous baldy gaffer.
