It feels like a lot of Liverpool fans have made their minds up about Arne Slot, and that is that he needs to go.
That still feels harsh to me – after all, Slot won the Premier League last season.
I agree this has been a disappointing campaign, but surely winning a title in your first year buys you some time?

Liverpool are clearly not playing well at the moment, though. I’ve been thinking for a while now that they’re going to get out of this slump because of the players they have, but when you watch them there’s nothing to suggest it will happen and they have been so inconsistent for so long now.
They went to a back five in Wednesday’s defeat at Paris St-Germain and the optics of that were not great for Slot. By playing with an extra centre-half, they just looked like they were trying to hang on in there.
Fulham are a good side and I can see them causing Liverpool problems too, no matter what shape Slot goes with this time.
It finished 2-2 when these two sides met at Craven Cottage in January, and I have a feeling there will be a few goals this time as well.
Sutton’s prediction: 2-2
