Liverpool kicked off 2026 with a disappointing goalless draw against Leeds United at Anfield — a result that left supporters fuming and questioning manager Arne Slot’s tactics.
Despite dominating possession for long stretches, the Reds struggled to break down Leeds’ well-organised defence, creating few clear chances and ultimately failing to find a way through.
Fans inside Anfield showed their frustration at full-time as boos mixed with chants, reflecting growing concerns about Liverpool’s attacking bluntness and inability to secure wins even when expected to do so.
Leeds, for their part, earned a valuable point by defending deep and making it difficult for Liverpool to carve out openings. Their resolute performance earned praise, especially given their ongoing battle to climb away from the relegation zone.
Supporters on social media and fan forums were quick to criticise Slot’s approach — arguing that the team’s lack of creativity and decisive edge continues to cost them valuable points in the Premier League title race.
With the Reds now struggling to convert dominance into goals, the pressure is building on Slot to reinvigorate Liverpool’s playstyle and deliver the attacking fluency fans expect.
