And, even more fittingly, they belted out ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ - known as the anthem of Liverpool - in emotional scenes, as he had already been announced as Jurgen Klopp’s replacement.Feyenoord also use the song as their anthem, meaning Slot was already well acquainted with the iconic lyrics by the time he oversaw his first Anfield fixture. Some may not have even envisioned the manager surviving until the end of the season, especially after a dismal Autumn run which saw the club suffer six defeats in seven games.Last year, an elated Slot belted out Klopp's song while holding the microphone and was sprayed with champagne during the Anfield title celebrations as supporters sang along.
No one is expecting such scenes this time around - but the mood can still be a positive and optimistic one.Slot was well revered at Feyenoord, and despite enduring a difficult season for Liverpool it's easily possible that for the title winner to press on and earn similar sentiment at Anfield in time. Mohamed Salah has made his feelings clear on Slot ahead of what is expected to be his final game for the club and, as a Liverpool legend, is well entitled to his opinion.There is no reason why the Egyptian King can’t have his deserved send-off on Sunday with Slot also being given a second chance ahead of next season.Sky Sports, HBO Max, Netflix and Disney+ with Ultimate TV packageThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
