That ball was going out the whole time.

Ugh....I'm done with Slot.

Its like he gives them chamomile tea and melatonin after we take a lead.

Once we fall into this BS shell, we just never get out of it.

Well we've got our work cut out for us. Might just need to win basically every game from here on out.

That's not Slots problem in any way shape or form. That's stupidity from your keeper. City was always going to go balls to the wall after we went up 1-0 and press hard. We got unlucky on a deflection that landed on Halaands head, and then a dumb keeper decision. It is what it is. We're an unbelievably incomplete team.

Hahahahahahahahahahh

This league is a clown show

What a joke, Craig Pawson

And now Szo is banned for at least 2 games?

What a disaster

Now Szbo and our only RB is going to miss multiple games. This league is brilliant.

This league is so trash

Disagree. This is a common theme for Liverpool this year. When we score, we basically lay off the opponent and pack our own box. At the same time, our wings don't put any pressure on the ball and the opposition gets a relatively easy cross into the box.

We don't go for the jugular...ever.

Szobo should miss one game.

Manchester City bench has Reijnders, Ake, Foden, Cherki, Dias, Rico Lewis, Nico…
Liverpool's has two goalkeepers, 3 youth players, CuJo, Robertson, Endo & Chiesa.

Next game we'll likely have to play Jones at RB. Or Slot might even deploy Endo

We need serious help at so many places. We scored on an worldie free kick and that was it. And we need CL to help fund and attract the players we need. We are 4-6 points out of 5th and 6th to teams that are better than us. This loss was killer as we have/had no room for error. But it may not make a difference in the end. We are what we are, a team fighting to be in top 10 more than top 5 almost.

Need to decide on the coach as well. Nothing easy here.

I don't disagree that it's been an issue under slot this season. I just disagree that that's what happened today in the context of that game and the opponent. We score a worldy to go up with 20 minutes left and for city the title is literally on the line. They were always going to come after us and put pressure on us. We were dealing with it well until a deflection put it in a dangerous spot and they scored. Against the bottom half teams we drew against I don't disagree that we have been a fragile mess, but I don't think that's what happened today.

We also continue to be plagued but complete head loss errors by our best players that have lead directly to losses. It is what it is this season at this point. We are playing a lot better overall and I think we'll win quite a few games down the stretch, but I'm not sure it'll matter. FSG and the front office can't get gun shy now. This team is half baked and needs another 3/4 players over the summer whether we are in the CL or not.

I just don't know how much I blame Slot anymore. Yeah, he's the manager and the buck stops with him in a lot of instances, and there's been times where I have thought he was the issue, but we're just SO dang depleted as a roster. Either from injuries or poor planning from the front office, we are just so far off it from a talent and depth perspective I am not even sure what Klopp could get out of this group (and I genuinely mean that).

Liverpool's remaining schedule:

@Sunderland
@Nottingham Forest
West Ham
@Wolverhampton
Tottenham
@Brighton
Fulham
@Everton
Crystal Palace
@Man United
Chelsea
@Aston Villa
Brentford

The stretch to end the season at least gives us a change to nick points off the teams ahead of us. Not all is lost, especially if they can continue to play like they did against Newcastle and the second half against City, but they have their work cut out for them.

It is imperative then that we take 12 points from 12 heading into the Tottenham game and then take another 12 heading into the Man U game. 25 points from the next 9 games should put us in pole position. Now will the team that played Newcastle or the team that played Leeds show up?

Anything less than full points will surely cost Slot his job. Three of the next four occupy spots 17-20 on the table. We HAVE to take advantage. Chelsea don't look all that strong so I think they are very gettable. Man U look different under Carrick but hopefully the new manager shine wears off soon (or maybe stays just long enough to get him the job a la Ole Gunnar Solskjaer). We should continue to do well in the CL (as all English teams except maybe Newcastle) which should make top 5 the CL spots.

Agreed. I see it like yes we put ourselves in decent sized hole, but it's not untenable and I think we still control a lot of our own destiny to an extent.

If we don't make CL football then I think Slot will probably get sacked.
