Slot should be embarrassed after what Lijnders did on touchline during Man City vs Liverpool
This result raises serious questions about Liverpool’s direction under Slot. Unlike previous difficult periods under Klopp—such as the injury-hit 2020/21 campaign—this slump cannot simply be attributed to bad luck or temporary setbacks. Instead, it appears to point toward deeper issues within the squad, particularly concerning mentality, cohesion, and commitment to the high standards that once defined the team.
For many observers, this is not a situation that can be resolved with a few tactical adjustments or new signings in the transfer window. The scale of the collapse suggests something more fundamental is wrong. Liverpool no longer resemble the relentless, high-intensity side that once dominated English football, and that transformation is deeply concerning.
As the season progresses, it becomes increasingly difficult to justify blind optimism about a turnaround under Slot. If performances like this continue, calls for significant changes—starting with the managerial position—will only grow loader
