Supply teacher. Likes to come across a football intellectual. I reckon his players have spotted a chancer a fair while ago.

We've been fortunate Chelsea are considerably worse than us. Their coach is a shambles.

I'm pretty much resigned to him staying.

It's pretty apparent Slot gets next season. Fans who want him gone are merely projecting. He gets next season to step it up again. He'll need to hit the ground running.

Arne Slot is expected to continue as Liverpool head coach next season, Sky Sports News understands, as the club close in on Champions League qualification.

Wide open. Ding looked very good against Gilbert. Zhao poor vs Highfield. Interesting all Chinese encounter.

Prefer Wilson to progress. Sets up a cracker against Allen.

Could do with winning this frame and getting a bit of confidence back. Better players than Moody have wilted on this stage.

Carragher: “Arne Slot’s job has been spoken about all season. There’s probably a split in the Liverpool supporters over whether he should stay or go, but the noises I am hearing is Slot will be the #LFC manager next season if they can secure CL qualification, which they look like doing right now."

Some collapse. Can't pot a ball or play a telling safety. Young man will learn from his debut.

I'd be surprised.

NEW: Yan Diomande is Liverpool’s top target to replace Mohamed Salah, with the move approved by all decision-makers.

Concrete talks are ongoing with his new representatives at Roc Nation Sports, although no agreement has been reached yet and the clubs have not entered negotiations.

#MUFC keeping close tabs on Aurelien Tchouameni’s developments at Real Madrid.

One of those on No.6 shortlist alongside Elliot Anderson etc.

Interest in Tonali receding at this stage

Konate renewal is correct. A powerhouse when he's on form. We can't afford to be buying more centre backs. Van Dijk, Konate, Jacquet, and Leoni. Gomez may stay as a good squad option. Midfield and both wide positions are priorities. All resources needs to go there. Possibly a starting right back.

Play off with Scottie Scheffler.

He's duffed it.

An up and down for Matt Fitzpatrick for the RBC Heritage.

I reckon the decision to move on from Slot would be made already. If that's the route they're taking. CL qualification is merely a minimum requirement.

Vital for summer recruitment. Can't legislate for a 70-100m drop in revenue. Could be difference between signing the right calibre of player and amount needed.

Now for major call.....

I'll ask again. How do we best platform Wirtz. Poor again.

That's big. 7 points clear of 6th.

Get in there

Another pretty poor performance. Players hiding. Soft as wet cardboard.

Only one winner now. This team will fold like a cheap tent.

Isak starts.

“[This new cycle has] very good players who are able to hopefully win just as much or even more than the ones that have already left or are going to leave us this summer.”

Slot "I hope and I assume that if I leave, and whenever that might be, people remember me for the fact that we won the league in my time over here, but that I also played a big part in creating a new cycle.

Just keep some balance to it. We had a good 20 minutes over 180. Got picked apart in the end. No need for hyperbole or dishonesty.

I agree. That's me done analysing his comments. 5 weeks left. Let's see how it plays out. I wish him well. He's not a bad guy, Arne. I would like a change.

Nothing wrong with honesty. PSG dominated us for large spells. They were 2-0 up with 45 mins to go. They knew Liverpool had to come out and have a go. We were busted by 70 mins, and they picked us off with ease on the counter. 2nd gear.
