Despite that dramatic victory over Everton, there’s a growing feeling that performances haven’t matched results, and that’s now being reflected in external opinion.

Nicol questions whether Slot should remain

Speaking via BBC Sport, former Liverpool defender Steve Nicol admitted he’s no longer certain about the Dutchman’s future at Anfield.

The ex-Red said: “If you’d have asked me this six weeks ago, I would’ve 100% said yes, but as time’s gone on, it’s getting a lot.”

He didn’t hold back in his assessment of what he’s seeing on the pitch either, suggesting that things are beginning to unravel in a way that’s hard to ignore.

Nicol added: “It feels as though it’s getting lost on the field, and you’re getting more anxious every time you’re going to sit down to watch it. I don’t know is the answer.”

That uncertainty reflects a wider concern that, even with moments like the Merseyside derby win, consistency and identity are still missing from our performances.
