: Paul Scholes Calls Out ‘Disrespectful’ and ‘Classless’ Arne Slotarne Liverpool are in a crisis at the moment, and Paul Scholes believes he knows when their troubles started.The reigning Premier League champions waltzed to their 20th title last season, but their championship defence so far this season has been awful, with Arne Slot’s side sitting in the bottom half of the table after 13 games.A 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield this past weekend means the Reds have now lost six of their last seven games in the top-flight, while losing nine of their last 11 in all competitions, which has seen the manager come under major scrutiny for his job.But after their form tailed off after the title was clinched last season, Manchester United legend Scholes has shared when he feels the issues started.Scholes: Slot Issues at Liverpool Started Last SeasonPaul ScholesWhile appearing on his podcast, ‘The Good, The Bad and The Football’, Scholes revealed that he feels Liverpool’s problems began last season rather than this year, and blamed manager Slot for partying with the players in Ibiza.“I think this started towards the end of last season, do you remember when they won the league? The bad form started, they went away, went to Ibiza or something. Honestly, Arne Slot was DJing.“DJing in Ibiza. But that’s, that’s before the season’s done, that’s what I mean, I think that’s disrespectful that, before the season’s done, I think it’s classless that.”Liverpool spent a record-breaking amount during the summer transfer window, breaking the British transfer record twice to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and then Alexander Isak from Newcastle United, but so far neither player has been able to make a positive impact.That has coincided with the likes of Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konate and Alexis Mac Allister all severely struggling for form too, and the team now face an impossible task to successfully defend their crown.Some Liverpool fans responded to the comments from Scholes, and many of them were in agreement, despite the team winning their opening five games of the campaign.Popular X account AnfieldRd96 commented, saying they “didn’t mind it at the time, but now I think of it, it was a bit odd to be honest, especially with 4 games remaining in the season.”Another account said, “he has a point”, while X user EmreCanderson said, “I sort of agree with him.” One fan even went as far as to say that Scholes was ‘spot on’ and that Slot should be sacked.Slot Must Make Big Changes for Liverpoolliverpool mohamed salahA lot of the club’s success last season came from the incredible form of Mohamed Salah, but the Egyptian has been poor this time around and the rest of the team haven’t been able to supplement him as a result.New signing Jeremie Frimpong has suffered with injury issues, and Milos Kerkez has struggled to adapt to playing in a more attacking team since his arrival from Bournemouth.But Slot must now look to make major changes to his side in order to halt their slump and return to winning ways as quickly as possible, even if that means dropping some big-name stars to establish some balance to his lineup.
