  1. Kudos to David for being one of the only club linked journo’s not afraid to speak his mind

    Lynch has been quite realistic most of the season. Clearly happy when we can find wins and even a sliver of form, but he’s regularly questioned the longevity of any turnaround, and suggested more explicitly that everything we could see or try with Slot’s brand of football has already been exhausted. Will be curious to see what sources closer to the club might say, although I’m also prepared for yet another “LFC back the manager/are sympathetic” from Ornstein to really put the stinker on the international break.

    I’ll pretend that Milner is still a Liverpool player, the bloke is a vampire. What a performance

    G’wan Dave. Keep going.

    Can’t lie it is a bit funny watching some of the local journalists break ranks and risk their connections because they can’t fucking stand watching it now lol

    The football is that shit.

    “It really does feel like they’ve (LFC) got absolutely no chance of getting into the Champions League from here.” pain

    We should ban Joyce, Pearce and all the other journalists who refuse call out the truth.

    How can they call themselves journalists? They are just mouthpieces.

    Joyce, Pearce, etc don’t deserve any credit for being truthful and objective. It’s distasteful and disgusting

    I don’t necessarily agree with a lot of what he has said, but much respect to him for actually saying what he thinks in a logical manner. It is as constructive as it gets.

  8. Glad he’s saying this.

    My first thought was we might as well stick with Slot until the summer since it is so late in the season.

    However now, I’d rather he go immediately and get an interim in until a long-term replacement is found in the summer.

    The performances have been absolutely dire and the club’s chances of finishing in the top 5 is in serious jeopardy.

  9. I just don’t agree with the idea we won’t finish in the top 5. I’m not saying it’s guaranteed or anything, but it’s also not like it’s some sort of remote possibility.

    I still see us finishing 5th with Villa finishing 6th.

    So many opinions on what needs to be done. The simple and easy answer always is to fire the manager.

    Alex Ferguson was appointed manager of Manchester United in November 1986. For the remainder of that first season, he managed to climb from 21st place up the table to finish in 11th place. 

    Prior to his second season, Ferguson made several major signings and the new players contributed to a United team that finished in second place, nine points behind… you guess it: Liverpool.

    United were expected to do even better the season after that, when Mark Hughes returned to the club after leaving for Barcelona, alongside Jim Leightton from Aberdeen; but instead the 1988-89 season was very disappointing with Ferguson finishing 11^(th) in the league and losing 1-0 at home to Forest in the FA Cup.

     For his fourth season, Ferguson further boosted the squad by paying large sums of money for Neil Webb, Mike Phelan, Paul Ince, Gary Pallister and Danny Wallace. The season began well with a 4–1 win over defending champions Arsenal on the opening day, but United’s form quickly turned sour. In September, United suffered a humiliating 5–1 away defeat against rivals Manchester City. Following that defEAT, and an early season run of six losses and two draws in eight games, a banner declaring, “Three years of excuses and it’s still crap … ta-ra Fergie.” was displayed at Old Trafford, and many journalists and supporters called for Ferguson to be sacked. Ferguson later described December 89 as “the darkest period [he had] ever suffered in the game”, as United finished the season and the decade just outside the relegation zone in 13^(th) place.

    During that season, following a run of seven games without a win, Manchester United were drawn away to Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup. Forest were playing really well that season and were in the process of winning the League Cup for the second season in a row, and it was expected that United would lose the match and Ferguson would consequently be sacked, but …United won the game 1–0 and eventually reached the final, which they lost. However, this cup win is often cited as THE match that saved Ferguson’s Old Trafford career, BUT Manchester United under Alex Ferguson– in his first three years– finished in 11^(th) place, in 2^(nd) place, and in 13^(th) place in the English First Division.

    Credit to Manchester United’s owners for sticking with him early on. It took Ferguson almost five years before Manchester United would become the serial winners everyone now knows them to be.

  11. This guy again? He doesn’t know anything. Were was this post after the gala game?

  12. I wonder what Milner thought looking at the shambles across from him and how different it was.

  13. Same_Negotiation6293 on

    Lynch one of the real ones to actually stand his ground regarding this. Whatever he’s said is also right about how even with the depth it doesn’t matter and such. Good video

  14. I genuinely think it’s as simple as dropping Gakpo first of all. Then maybe konate.

  15. What are Hughes and Edwards doing? Are they done as well and don’t care? Hughes with the Saudi rumours and Edwards frustrated with the multi-club collapse. Someone has to take accountability as to why Slot is still here!! Hoping we win the CL is an insane gamble.

  16. Weirdly I’m confident of a good performance against PSG even getting a result possibly but I wouldn’t expect anything now in the Prem.

  17. Playing the 2 striker system once Hugo went off was moronic. Rio should have come right on and switched to a 4-3-3 and rocked on. Instead we got that. How you start the same team bar 1 player (GK doesn’t count) after that game is the definition of insanity.

    Until Anfield starts directing anger at FSG in large numbers, they won’t be pressured into sacking Slot.

    It’s been clear for months Slot is out of his depth. But the fact that he is still in situ is now no longer his fault but the people above him. Time for those people to feel the heat.

    We just want him out already. Get Alonso in to finish the season and see if we can get back to a decent style of play next year because this crap slots telling the team is dire.

  20. This has been obvious since at least December tbh, nothing new.
    Absolutely insane by the club, again, to just forego a whole season.

    Sack him…..look, I see it like this, if we keep him, we fail to qualify for Europe. If we sack him now, maybe we still fail to qualify for Europe, but at least an interim, or even a full appointment (of a certain Spaniard I think probably 90 percent of Liverpool fans want to see in charge), might instil a way of playing with some fight and some fire instead of watching a half hearted team who don’t seem to care if we win or lose.
