Liverpool will decide to sack Arne Slot as their head coach at the end of this season, according to a big claim from former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley. For Slot, it has eased some of the pressure on him, with the Dutchman in a positive mood after Saturday’s 3-1 victory at home to Crystal Palace: “We kept on fighting until the end and even scored for 3-1.
“If you just look at the performance of both teams, I think Palace deserved to come back into the game because they were playing a good game, they were close to scoring goals, the margins were really small, but another injury [to Mohamed Salah] of course after a win, that sums up again our season.” While recent reports have suggested that Slot will be backed by Liverpool this summer, ESPN pundit Burley has claimed otherwise, in quotes provided by Caught Offside: “I don’t think they’ll run with him next year, I don’t. I think there’s too many questions from up above about spending money again and letting him [spend it].” Has Arne Slot done enough to win over the doubters at Liverpool?
If the 47-year-old does now stay, Liverpool fans must stay behind him, despite their frustration, and finishing the season with four more wins would win over the doubters further. There is still a feeling that a change would be best, though, rather than the Reds sticking with Slot and finding themselves struggling early next season.
