All Aboard the Slot Express

Only Souness and the Owl have been worse but if Slot stays long enough he will surpass them both

Souness was a little before my time in terms of being able to understand or take anything in, so the worst thus far for me has been Hodgson, comfortably - though it was mercifully not a terribly long spell of time.

31 matches in charge, with 13 wins. Of those, 20 of the matches were in the League, with us only winning 7 of them.

13 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses in the 31 games overall, with 41 scored and 33 conceded.

Stats aside, the matches were absolutely unwatchable.

Overall win percentage was 41.9%, but if we isolate the 17 League games that came after the opening 3, that win rate was right down at 35.3%.

What a crap time that was, especially with 08/09 still being relatively fresh in our minds and even 09/10 having contained a respectable run to the Europa League semi-finals.

10/11
11/12
12/13
13/14
14/14
15/16

Large chunks of that 6-year spell were really underwhelming. So few Champion's League games in that timeframe. Let's hope nothing similar is on the Horizon.

Souness was criticised for changing too much too quickly… sound familiar?

It certainly does.

Do feel change was needed though, so I have some degree of sympathy with certain aspects of it - but yeah, rough season.

Nearly over at least

We are so broken,the fight drained so quickly after the penalty.slot is not a hands on manager,hendo was miles better captain than virgil,there is no one pulling the players together.we may have bought better players but slot ripped the soul out of the squad by getting rid of nunez,tisamikas,diaz,elliot and losing arnold and jota.the worry is how many players are happy at liverpool,how many are ready to fight to get liverpool back up there,how many would be happy to pack there bags and go play elsewhere.
A new manager has to fix that before anything else.

A manager doesn’t allow this

Just came on here to say exactly the same, we are rudderless

I think it was Red October who said a few days back that the hardest thing to take is how our hopes have been completely shattered.
Winning that title last season had us believe we were back in the big time ( we always were under Klopp btw) but it lead us to think the transition had been seamless and completed.
Now we look like we were when Klopp took over. Not in terms of our players but how utterly shambolic we are in every area of the pitch.

Difference with Souness is that he brought in a load of shite.

Arne (or the Transfer) team didn't, which makes Arne's effort even worse!

I said it back in august there was more than a hint of the souness era about the mass changes and got ridiculed...won't go with the i told you so. But.....i would nearly have brodge in there now we would be somebit easy on the eye whatever fuckaboutery has gone on is crazy stuff that shouldn't have happened. Explained my reasoning on jota and impact on team before but a team thats unfit is just wild...i dont understand it how players with everything laid on for them are not fit or at peak stamina seems insane it really has to reside with slot. I think klopp is a possibility to return i really do.
