Liverpool fans call for Slott’s sacking
The FA Cup quarter-final, seen by many as Slott’s last chance to save his debut, ended in humiliation as Erling Haaland scored a clinical hat-trick to propel Josep Guardiola’s side into the semi-finals for a record eighth straight season.
The smoldering ‘Arne Out’ feeling following the 2-1 defeat to Brighton before the international break reached a boiling point before the final whistle in Manchester.
Social media was flooded with calls for the Dutchman to be sacked, with many fans calling for Steven Gerrard to be given an immediate caretaker role.
One person said: “Let’s let Stevie G look at the season. Can it really get worse than what we’re seeing now? And let’s let Xavi take over at the end of the season.”
“Stevie G recently said that he would take on the role of assistant if asked:
“If they ask me and Liverpool Football Club feel I’m the right person to do it, I’ll do it. Of course I’ll be happy to do it.”
Another said:At this point, Gerrard was introduced to boost team morale. Forget about tactics. This team needs a confidence boost and Gerrard will do that. We will be looking for a new manager in the summer. These players don’t believe in slots.”

Others wanted Slott to be fired immediately, regardless of who came in.
One person said:If John Henry thinks Arne Slott should stay as Liverpool manager, he needs cataract surgery.
Another angrily said: “Slotted out…the bald impostor forces us forward…leaving a big gap…the defense is so poor there is no protection…Gravenbirch and Jones need to sit in front of the defenders. The bald impostor has zero tactics…Rio is on the left wing…only the bald impostor would let him play on the right wing…”
