Liverpool’s title defence has been plunged into fresh controversy after a dramatic late collapse at Anfield against Manchester City, with furious fans turning their anger toward head coach Arne Slot following another painful setback.
What should have been a statement night for the Reds ended in frustration, disbelief, and outrage, as City snatched a late comeback and exposed what many supporters are calling serious tactical flaws in Slot’s approach.
One enraged supporter summed up the mood after the final whistle:
> “While watching the Liverpool game vs Manchester City, I can boldly say he’s clueless in a lot of angles. Manchester United changed Amorim and now they’re getting results — four straight wins under Carrick, beautiful football back! It’s high time Liverpool relieve him of his duties before it’s too late. We just threw away the lead at Anfield in the dying minutes… this is NOT the title defence we deserve.”
Tactical Questions Mount at Anfield
Liverpool’s inability to see out games has become an alarming trend, and Sunday’s late collapse only intensified concerns. Fans questioned Slot’s substitutions, game management, and defensive structure in the closing stages, arguing that City were allowed to grow into the game far too easily.
Social media quickly exploded with the now-familiar chant: “Slot out NOW.” Many supporters believe Liverpool are wasting a strong squad with indecision on the touchline and a lack of adaptability during high-pressure moments.
Comparisons Stir the Debate
Fuel was added to the fire as fans pointed to Manchester United’s recent resurgence following a managerial change, claiming decisive leadership has brought instant results elsewhere — something they feel Liverpool are currently missing.
A Club at a Crossroads
With the title race tightening and margins getting thinner, pressure is rapidly building behind the scenes at Anfield. While the club hierarchy remains publicly calm, the noise from the stands and online is becoming impossible to ignore.
Is this just raw emotion after a brutal result — or the beginning of a serious reckoning for Liverpool’s new era?
One thing is clear: patience is wearing thin, and the next few games could define not just Liverpool’s season, but Arne Slot’s future at the club. 🔴⚽🔥
