"I completely disagree with the suggestion that nobody could have got more out of them. Nine defeats in 12 is an absolute disgrace at any level. The subsequent 13-game unbeaten run was incredibly unimpressive given the quality of opposition."
"Liverpool find themselves down in sixth place, a distant 16 points behind league leaders Arsenal. Given the wave of expectation that followed them into the season - fuelled by an enormous £440m influx of new signings - the 2025/26 campaign does not look like one that will live long in the memory."
"The club's overlords, FSG, have drawn up a contingency plan should a sudden change need to be made, with Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso both forming part of the short and long-term strategy."
Liverpool's title defense has faltered significantly, leaving them sixth place, 16 points behind Arsenal with 11 games remaining. Manager Arne Slot faces mounting pressure following a disastrous autumn that saw nine losses in 12 games. While FSG is unlikely to make a mid-season managerial change, contingency plans exist with Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso identified as potential replacements. Journalist David Lynch criticized Slot's management, arguing the nine defeats in 12 games represent an absolute disgrace and that the subsequent 13-game unbeaten run was unimpressive given the quality of opposition faced. The club's €505m investment in new signings has failed to deliver expected results.
