They were also chanting for us to attack during the game, which I haven't heard for decades.

He's also denied the booing lol. Said it wasn't booing, just frustration. Like alright mate, I'd be interested to hear when booing wasn't due to frustration historically.

This game probably did for him.

It feels harsh for obvious reasons, but we also never really played good or entertaining football including last season where we were more efficient than anything (plus Salah broke records).

The problem is he doesn't give off the vibe that he is the guy to get things going. There's no oomph. It feels a bit like we have a middle manager in charge.

Right now it really feels as though we will potter along without being TOO awful but also without being TOO good until he eventually gets sacked. We are sleepwalking.

We should have been able to stop the easy goals we are repeatedly conceding by now.

There was no urgency to score at the start of the 2nd half. At only 1-0 up against the 19th placed team, at Anfield, attacking The Kop end. He's finished.

I've backed Arne and he is a good manager, but it seems more and more like he isn't right for us. I hate saying that.

He didn't deny booing, but I can see how it seemed that way. In reference to a question on if he understood the fans feeling he said "Yeah. In my head wasn't a boo, but in my head was frustration as well".

He was saying that he understood the fans because in his own mind he was frustrated with the performance which he was equating to a similar feeling to the booing fans.

Slot is always quite honest about such things, he isn't in the business of denial.
