Liverpool ended their winless run against Crystal Palace at the weekend, but Arne Slot still has his detractors.Slot is staying at Anfield beyond this season, according to reports which have done the rounds in the last week.It is an interesting decision from FSG, who will surely want to see more from their side in the final month of the 2025/26 campaign.While Liverpool did get two goals before the break on Saturday, it still wasn’t an amazing performance, and fans were very vocal about the lack of pressing despite the manager suggesting his team pressed aggressively.

No structure, no press, can’t build up from the back. Individual brilliance saves Slot again.”Another echoed: “‘Aggressive press’ Slot said.
Once again, individual brilliance giving us the impetus.”A third commented: “Arne Slot actually tried to say we press aggressively… alright.”“We can’t pass their press… just bad coaching because Slot has already lost 3 times to this press this season,” added a fourth.Another wrote: “Just looking for that ‘aggressive press’ from us that Slot talks about.”While a sixth fan asked: “Slot has absolutely killed what Klopp built at Liverpool. How are the FSG ok with this?”Liverpool are now unbeaten in their last three Premier League games, which is a big improvement on previous months.Saturday’s match is a positive, of course, but it is hard to ignore how, up until Isak scored, the home side looked second best and Palace were having the better of the game.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
