As reiterated by David Ornstein in the past 24 hours, FSG âfully intendâ to keep faith in the Dutchman despite the mutinous feeling at Anfield on Saturday, although Carragher has now drawn worrying parallels between Slot and the fortunes of his compatriot Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.

âSlot won the league, thatâs a completely different level, but the second season was really poor, and you keep the manager on the back of what he did in the first season and it carries on poorly. Then you get to October/November and you think youâve got to change the manager.â

Ten Hag made a strong early impression at Man United, finishing third in the Premier League and winning the Carabao Cup in his first season (2022/23), but the Red Devils dropped to eighth in the following campaign, which was partly rescued by a fortuitous FA Cup triumph.
However, the former Ajax boss was gone by the end of October 2024 with the Old Trafford outfit languishing in 14th (theyâd ultimately finish one place lower) and his reputation massively diminished from 18 months previously.
As Carragher says, there are echoes of that reign with Slot at Liverpool. He came in and won the Premier League at the first attempt, but the sophomore season has been a dreary slog which has seen the Reds fighting just to finish inside the top five (and without a trophy as tangible consolation).
The worry for LFC fans is that thereâs little to suggest the Dutchman will revive our fortunes in 2026/27 if heâs left in charge, and that we could end up declining even further next term, like Man United did in the final stages of Ten Hagâs time at the club.
The last time Liverpool changed their manager in October, it went rather well â they hired a fella named Jurgen Klopp â but itâs hard to imagine there being another knight in similarly shining armour this time around if FSGâs seemingly blind faith in Slot evaporates by the autumn.
There are lessons to be learned from what happened at Old Trafford a couple of years ago, but will the Anfield hierarchy heed them?
