Arne Slot’s position as Liverpool head coach is not under immediate threat, Don Hutchison has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, even though the continued inconsistency could still derail Liverpool‘s season and leave UCL qualification out of reach, he does not think a loss against Tottenham would be terminal for Slot.
Don added that as soon as Spurs concedes one goal against LFC, he expects the team to crumble.
His words, “That would be horrendous. While they’re off the back of some good form, then I think they need to build on it. We’ve just seen Nottingham Forest turn Spurs over at the weekend.
Tottenham are just a very hard side to get a handle on under Thomas Frank. Their home form is terrible. I never fancied them to go to Forest at the weekend. I knew Forest would have too much about them because they are like a deck of cards at times, the way they play. Once they give up a goal, Spurs, they just crumble.
The way Liverpool played against Brighton, but for an hour, it was easily the best that [Milos] Kerkez has played, easily the best that [Hugo] Ekitike has played, and easily Florian Wirtz’s best game. So I think they’ll take confidence in that. If they lose it’ll be a blow, but I don’t think it’ll put Arne Slot under pressure. If they win it, they’re in good form and they can try and get closer to Villa in third.
No chance. They’ve got too many good players. The Spurs game is the one that leaps out as the only potentially troubling one, which they’re playing next. Then I think they’ve got Leeds, Wolves and Fulham. Those are all games they should be looking at and expecting three points.
I think the current top three are nailed on for the top three and it’s one position now up for grabs for the Champions League. It might be a case of Liverpool finishing in the Europa League spots unless they get a move on.”
WOW.
Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played its home games at Anfield since its formation.
Domestically, the club has won 19 league titles, eight FA Cups, a record nine League Cups and 16 FA Community Shields. In international competitions, the club has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups—all English records—and one FIFA Club World Cup.
The club established itself as a major force in domestic and European football in the 1970s and 1980s, when Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, led the club to a combined 11 League titles and four European Cups. Liverpool won two further European Cups in 2005 and 2019 under the management of Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, respectively; the latter led Liverpool to a 19th league title in 2020, the club’s first during the Premier League era.
Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. Situated 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool city centre, it was originally used by Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding. Left with an empty ground, Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since. The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000, although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool’s first match at Anfield.
