Are you ready to pull the lever?

Should Slot get sacked?

  • Yes, immediately if possible.

  • No, but he has until the end of the year to turn it around.

  • No, winning the league bought him enough time to see out the season.

  • No way.

  • Other, elaborate...

As a leader, I’d rather be Klopp than Slot. When things go wrong I take the blame. When it’s good it’s my team below me.
I think that's part of my concern, its been growing. My wife follows LFC as well and likes Arne's more toned down pressers and found Klopp to be a bit too dramatic at times. "Focus isn't on me"... and all the self effacing comments Klopp came out with had a reverse effect and it did become about him especially when he announced he was leaving with six months left. Why not do that 2 weeks before the end of the season? We might have won the league had we not distracted the team six months early. Klopp was a massive breath of fresh air and hardly mentioned "character" once, which was great. And his style of play was fab. It was fast and furious, fluid and exciting. I really miss that brand of football and stylistically we just feel like a car engine without oil.

Ha. I love klopp.

Slot... I don't get the hate, but I haven't liked his attitude at times, years especially slobbering over PSG last year, or his more recent comments. That said, is that his attitude, or his style of football and even more so, his not winning the games? People always will find a reason to hate a losing manager.

He's smart not to try to do a Klopp tribute act, and just be a boring coach mostly, but I just kind of don't have any sense of him at all, other than that I don't respect how basic his vacationing is.

Arne for me seems so flat in his approach. What appeared to be fairly savvy responses haven't lined up with his game plan on field and him saying teams are deploying the low block and that's why we're losing isn't helping. Its kind of like Pep Lijnders publishing Klopp's playbook.

I think Klopp had that attention on me so it wasn’t on those on the pitch.

I also think he would never have mentioned it unless someone had wind of it and was going to release it to the press. The club took the lead.
 
Here’s where i see us.

We are going into an 18 month stint of “transition”, caused by leaving gaps in the squad in the last window.

Next summer we are going to likely lose/sell Mo, Ali. Virg will be in his last year and needs a succession plan. Ibu is going. Gomez will probably finally retire.

So next season will already be a transitional season for our defence, this season is one for our attack.

Does Arne look like he’s the one to build a started and identity to take us through the next 18 months, scrape top 4 to keep us bringing in the cash whilst coming out stronger on the other side?

I don’t see it. For me it’s clear as day. Remain open to anyone who wants to give him time to give me rationale based on the way he has the team playing to share why they want to make that investment. What am i missing,?

Nothing, and there is no rationale based either on the way we're playing or the stuff hes been saying in press conferences. I don't currently see evidence of a plan to get us out of this or evidence from what he's been saying that he has identified the issue.

What's giving me pause is that there's mitigation - a lot of signings needed in the summer, a significant drop in form for a lot of the mainstays of the team, the impact of Jota's death and the necessary phasing out of three of the best players in our history. I haven't warmed to Slot, and I don't have full confidence or anything, but I feel like there are too many issues for anyone to deal with.
