"For Liverpool, is it the right time now? And for Arne Slot, what does it do for him? He's the guy at the moment that is under pressure."
"I understand why he's under pressure, obviously because there's been a massive drop-off, but he won the league seven months ago, and I would have thought that Liverpool... would be more thinking that the players have let him down than he's the instigator."
"For the first time, it feels like Liverpool are turning on the manager over the players, which is something that is surprising to watch from the outside."
