✍️ 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. 🙏

Arsenal and their fans actually believe we don't like them because we fear them.

When Man City won 5 out of 6 Premier League titles, we all respected them. We all feared them. Respect = fear. Not dislike.

When Liverpool won the PL under Klopp and consistently challenged for it, we all largely respected them.

Both of these sides were genuinely good football teams. They were playing free flowing, entertaining football, scoring goals and creating chances while allowing world class individuals to shine.

Man City with players like Agüero, David Silva, KdB, Bernardo, Sterling, Sané, Mahrez, Kompany and then eventually players like Haaland, Rodri, Foden and Alvarez etc.

Liverpool with their unbelievable frontline of Mané, Salah and Firmino with players like TAA, Robertson, Diaz etc. Always playing with 100% intensity, always looking to score one more goal, always looking to entertain the fans.

Again, we all respected these teams and that respect was given because we feared them – and we did so because they were genuinely good teams who played genuinely good football with genuinely good players.

Not a soul respects Arsenal and what they are doing.

They are not playing entertaining football, and in many cases they are literally not playing football at all.

Wasting time, faking injuries, taking forever to restart play – be that from corners, free-kicks, goal kicks whatever. Constantly goes down too easy while looking more like WWE fighters when attacking/defending set-pieces.

They are massively over-reliant on set-piece goals to open up games and all of their set-piece goals happen, not because of beautifully rehearsed variants but because they are allowed to do whatever they want in the box without being penalised for it.

On top of all this, they act in the most unsporting and disgusting manner possible whenever they play. No class at all.

Nobody will look back at this title win (and yes, they will win the title) with admiration in the future. They are literally only winning this title because they are meant to win it.

They will not win it because they deserve to – they will win it because the Premier League has decided they will.

This is why no one actually fears Arsenal. They are objectively not a TOP football team. If they were refereed like any other side in the league, they'd be scrambling for top 5.

Nothing they do is sustainable in the long-run. They have no individual quality to fall back on.

When literally every single person in football is OPENLY practically saying that Arsenal are cheating, boring and getting away with m*rder, it's time to actually look at yourselves and realize that YOU actually are the problem and not everyone else.
