@stehoare Pieces like this fail to acknowledge that our bad performances started in March last season which almost neglects any possible reasons and excuses for this seasons failures
Seems incredible that we're going to keep Slot as Head Coach for next season. The stale, turgid, boring style of Football, weak mentality, weak at set-peices, easy to play through & score against, players looking unfit, low work ethic. Yet another season of it to come. Crazy
Qualifying for the Champions League by finishing 5th with our lowest points tally in a decade, and without winning a single game in the last month of the season. Thank fuck that's over.
FSG please READ this….. Against the top 9 teams, home and away is 18 games. Liverpool have won 3……. Yes I said 3…… just do the right thing for the club and these players!!!! Because your eyes see and watch exactly what we ALL see. And it’s horrendous.
I have never hated a Liverpool manager as much as I hate Slot. Yes, hate is a strong word but I genuinely despise him, he’s nothing but lowered standards and embarrassed this club, imagine having the audacity to talk the way he does when you’ve lost 19 games this season.
✍️ An Open Letter to Richard Hughes
Richard,
Liverpool supporters are not unreasonable. They understand football. They understand setbacks. What they struggle to accept is a full season of the same problems repeating with no visible solution.
That is where we are now.
Sunday’s draw with Tottenham felt less like a point gained and more like an indictment of everything that has gone wrong this year. Spurs arrived in disarray. Injuries everywhere. No league wins in 2026. A squad patched together with academy players. Yet Liverpool, at Anfield, produced a performance that was hesitant, shapeless and alarmingly toothless.
In truth, Liverpool were fortunate to leave with a draw.
This isn't about one afternoon. It's about a pattern.
Week after week, Liverpool dominate possession but rarely dominate the game. The attack lacks fluency. The midfield lacks authority. The defence collapses under late pressure. The same questions are asked after every match because the same issues appear every week.
At some point, responsibility must rest with the man in charge.
Arne Slot inherited world-class players. He inherited a club built on elite standards. Yet over the past year, the football has become slower, more predictable and increasingly ineffective. When almost every player looks worse than they did twelve months ago, the explanation is rarely individual failure.
It's coaching.
Managers are judged on their ability to solve problems. Liverpool’s problems have been obvious for months, and yet the solutions have never arrived.
That is why November matters so much.
At that point, the warning signs were already clear. Performances were deteriorating. Confidence was draining from the team. Many supporters, myself included, believed decisive action was needed before the season unravelled completely.
Instead, the message that came from the club was calm reassurance. We were told everything was under control. The now infamous roundtable video in February, featuring you alongside Slot, projected unity and confidence that the direction was correct.
But unity only works when the direction is right.
Looking back now, that moment feels less like leadership and more like hesitation. A chance to confront reality was replaced with a public show of faith that the evidence on the pitch simply did not support.
That decision sits with you.
You were rightly praised last summer. The recruitment looked ambitious and intelligent. Many fans backed you completely. Yet hindsight now suggests the squad balance has not worked, and the coach entrusted to guide it has struggled badly.
Supporters can accept mistakes.
What they cannot accept is pretending a mistake has not been made.
Liverpool still possess too much talent and too much history to accept a season where the football becomes this stagnant and the standards fall this far.
Leadership requires honesty.
Arne Slot has had time. He has had patience. He has had backing.
But the problems remain exactly the same.
Deep down, you may already know the conclusion. No new contract for Slot, suggests you do.
And if that is the case, Richard, Liverpool supporters are simply asking for one thing.
The courage to act on it. 🙏
@BlueChipLFC@asim_lfc Could he do possibly worse than Gakpo? Probably not.. thats why id rather invest in him getting minutes instead keep playing Gakpo every week where you know what you are going to get from. Also, hes the only of his profile in our whole squad (good 1vs1, pace, direct..)
