It’s going to be very difficult.
They’re so inconsistent that I don’t see them winning every game until the end of the season. It’s going to be very difficult for him to stay in charge.“They’re nowhere near where they’d like to be.
It’s not gone to plan at all.”Warnock’s claims come during what has been a difficult midweek of action for Liverpool, who lost to Championship-bound Wolves on Saturday.Liverpool’s Champions League chances after Chelsea overtake Arne Slot’s sideAfter dropping three points to Rob Edwards’ side, Reds fans had to watch on as Chelsea dominated Newcastle United in their latest Premier League clash on March 4.Following that result, the Blues have overtaken Liverpool in the table, and Slot’s men are currently on course to miss out on the Champions League and settle for a Europa League spot.Opta now give the Merseyside outfit a 40.35% chance of qualifying for Europe’s premier competition next term, while Chelsea are given 41.40% chance.Manchester United, despite suffering their first defeat under Michael Carrick this week, remain favourites to take fourth place and are given 55.53% chance of making it into the Champions League.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
