I don't think most Liverpool fans will be screaming for Steven Gerrard – everyone is desperate for it to work for Arne Slot. Carragher's view was echoed by former team-mate Emile Heskey, who recently argued that Gerrard requires further managerial experience before taking charge of a club of Liverpool's stature.

He'll get linked to jobs, he'll get asked to come in and interview for jobs, it's up to him what he actually wants to do." Despite Carragher and Heskey's assessments, Rio Ferdinand told Gerrard himself to stand ready for a potential approach from Liverpool should their dismal form persist. The Manchester United legend, who enjoyed numerous battles against Gerrard and the Merseyside club, suggested that supporter pressure could lead to the former Reds captain being installed as Slot's successor.
