The Dutchman is facing growing scrutiny after a deeply disappointing campaign which has seen the Reds limp towards the finish line despite still being favourites to secure Champions League football.
Speaking exclusively to Empire of the Kop on behalf of BetWright who provide Premier League Odds, the former Liverpool defender admitted qualification for Europe’s elite competition alone will not satisfy supporters after the standards set in previous years.
Warnock sends clear message about Slot future
Warnock said: “Interestingly, you would have thought if you just said Champions League football is enough, well, it looks like you’ll secure Champions League football this season and that doesn’t seem to be enough for what the Anfield crowd wants and what the fanbase wants.”
The ex-Red then added: “You’ve got to challenge for the league.”
Liverpool’s 1-1 draw against Chelsea only intensified frustrations around Anfield after another passive performance in front of the home crowd.
