Liverpool slipped to their ninth defeat in 12 matches across all competitions as PSV dismantled them 4-1 at Anfield in a catastrophic Champions League collapse on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
A fixture that was meant to offer redemption instead spiralled into another humiliation, with Ivan Peri\u0161i\u0107, Guus Til and a Couhaib Driouech double exposing a Liverpool side that appears shattered and devoid of ideas.<\/p>\n
The reigning Premier League champions look nothing like the team that lifted the trophy just half a year ago, and patience among supporters is rapidly wearing thin.<\/p>\n
Liverpool fans are united in one view \u2013 Arne Slot has to go.
\nFrustration quickly transformed into outright calls for the manager\u2019s departure. Across social media, many supporters suggested Slot is out of solutions.<\/p>\n
One fan, while acknowledging Slot\u2019s past achievements, admitted that this defeat could be the one he doesn\u2019t recover from.<\/p>\n
Another wrote: \u201cI\u2019ve backed Slot, but it might be time for everyone to move on.\u201d<\/p>\n
A third added: \u201cSlot picked almost the same starting XI again and expected a different outcome? No fight, no identity, no plan. Dreadful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Others criticised him for persisting with out-of-form players, particularly continuing to start Cody Gakpo ahead of Chiesa and promising teenager Rio Ngumoha.<\/p>\n
One supporter said:
\n\u201cEkitike, Chiesa and Szoboszlai are the only ones who\u2019ve given everything this season. The irony?
\n\u2013 Slot tried to replace Szoboszlai in the summer.
\n\u2013 Won\u2019t start Chiesa even though he\u2019s arguably our second-best forward.
\n\u2013 Benched Ekitike while he was playing brilliantly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some fans argued that while Slot should be held accountable, the players have also let him down.<\/p>\n
One posted: \u201cI wanted him to survive this, but he\u2019s done after tonight. Every player is a disgrace. They\u2019ve downed tools. Embarrassing.\u201d<\/p>\n
From champions to chaos in half a year
\nIt\u2019s hard to believe that this is the same squad that dominated the Premier League just six months ago. This isn\u2019t a simple \u201cpost-title dip\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s a total collapse of identity.<\/p>\n
Supporters are baffled. How has a defence led by Virgil van Dijk and Alisson suddenly become one of the weakest in Europe?<\/p>\n
Why do \u00a3250m worth of attacking talent in Isak and Florian Wirtz look like complete strangers?<\/p>\n
The meltdown is shocking not just because of the speed, but the scale.<\/p>\n
There is no clear game plan, no pressing structure, and absolutely no confidence.<\/p>\n
The team looks mentally exhausted, crumbling under pressure and seemingly clueless about how to respond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
