@ringmagazine Can Zuffa bid for this?

Wow!! How amazing was Micah yesterday on broadcast. Having got the message so soon before going live on air that must have been incredibly to manage.

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Micah Richards learned that his father, Lincoln, had unexpectedly passed away shortly before going live on the BBC for England vs Argentina.

Richards still completed the broadcast, saying his father would have wanted “the show to go on”.

“He was my greatest fan. He barely missed a game my entire life.

He would take me wherever I needed to go as a kid, and he was the proudest parent possible during my professional career.

Dad would’ve wanted the show to go on this evening. And so it did.

My father Lincoln, my hero and inspiration.”

The UK media affects the way you believe in yourself, you have to block out the thought of rage-bait headlines and focus on the goal.

@LFCTransferRoom We just had a £450m transfer window last summer and thought it was the beginning of a dynasty.

Did he drop 3 albums to get out the deal!?!

He finished the race like he did a light jog. Wasn't even tired.

@AnfieldSector They won't have 6 months to find the next replacement.

[Dazza D @matureconvo]

You can spend £450m on Liverpool transfers but you can't replace the Klopp factor. #LFC

[Dazza D @matureconvo]

If Liverpool sack Slot at the end of the season they just need to go out and get the best manager in the world. Whether there at PSG, Bayern, Barca or at a national team. Sometimes common sense has to overrule the data. #LFC

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Liverpool’s failure to move earlier and more decisively for Marc Guehi last summer, giving Palace more time to find a replacement, has cost them dear. Fans warned that as the season began. Guehi would have brought more composure and security, and competition for Ibrahima Konate in particular, and also for Virgil van Dijk (and Guehi better on the left).

Liverpool’s loss of authority at the back is clearly a huge problem. Conceded 41 goals last season. 39 already this season with nine games to go. Have just conceded four goals to teams in relegation positions, Wolves (2-1 loss) and West Ham (5-2 win). Look at the calm Guehi has brought to Manchester City's defence.

Giovanni Leoni’s injury was particularly badly-timed for him and LFC but he’s inexperienced, only 19 (only 14 Serie A appearances with Parma). Jeremy Jacquet, 20, currently awaiting shoulder surgery, arrives in summer. Liverpool have succession planning at centre-back, but Guehi was a bad miss.

Other issues behind Liverpool’s travails: lack of pace out wide, right-back churn, Frimpong’s injuries, Isak injuries, Salah uncertainty, players settling in, opposition improvements, poor concentration leading to conceding late goals (and questions of stamina and Slot’s changes?). Slot’s persistence with certain players. Inexperienced but exciting and swift Rio Ngumoha versus experienced but slightly predictable Cody Gakpo? Ngumoha still only 17 but surely worth his first PL start at some point. A statement of intent.

Liverpool are too open, too prone to individual errors, too many good players off the pace. They have to finish in the Champions League positions otherwise Slot’s own position deserves to come under scrutiny. Money talks and the Champions League talks loudest for FSG especially after last summer’s investments.

Slot surely still has some credit in the bank following last season’s unexpected Premier League triumph. He deserves some patience and understanding – and Liverpool’s match-going support will doubtless give him that. Slot deserves backing until the end of the season and then any decision can be made. #LFC
