Liverpool may have secured all three points against Burnley, but instead of celebrating, the post-match debate turned fiery as supporters took aim at manager Arne Slot. His choice to exclude a key figure from the starting XI has been branded a costly error that could have undone the Reds at Turf Moor.Frustration Boils OverThe champions struggled to find rhythm for large spells, with Burnley threatening to snatch control of the game. Fans felt the absence of one influential player from the lineup was glaring, and when he finally entered the pitch, Liverpool’s tempo instantly lifted—making Slot’s initial decision look questionable.One furious supporter put it bluntly: “We only scraped through! Leaving him out was a mistake. Slot better learn fast—this won’t fly against bigger teams.”Comparisons With AmorimThe anger wasn’t just about the Burnley game. Many drew comparisons with Manchester United’s Ruben Amorim, who, despite enduring tough results, has been praised for bold and decisive selections. Slot, by contrast, is being accused of playing too cautiously and failing to reward the player who could have changed the game from the start.Warning Signs for the BossLiverpool’s fanbase is famously unforgiving when it comes to managers, and Slot has already been put on notice. Supporters want bravery in team selection, not hesitation that risks turning winnable games into uphill battles. The consensus is clear: leave out the wrong man again, and the Dutchman could face even heavier backlash.The Debate Rages OnThough Slot hasn’t addressed the criticism, fans online are unanimous about who should have started. The Burnley clash ended in victory, but for many, it felt like a warning shot. If the same mistake repeats itself against stronger opposition, Slot’s honeymoon period at Anfield might not last long.
