We asked for your views after Liverpool were knocked out of the Champions League by Paris St-Germain on Tuesday.
Here are some of your comments:
Ian: Liverpool gave it a go, but you always felt PSG were comfortable. A lot has gone against Liverpool this season, but the thing that worries me is the lack of a clear style of play. The players are trying, but it all feels very 'off the cuff' and reactionary, and that ultimately comes down to coaching.
Frank: Disjointed and ineffective performance with an inexplicable choice of formation, choice of players and tactics. Slot is not capable of managing a football team at this level. He will arguably have to leave at the end of the season, just scraping into next year's Champions League by a whisker.
Karen: Played so much better in this match. Unfortunately we were up against a class act side in PSG. We were once, too, but not any more. Liverpool need a total overhaul to get back to being serious competition.
Michael: Slot needs to leave. The spirit of Champions League nights at Anfield is gone. It's now consistent mediocrity all around. No more fighting spirit left in us. Things can't go on like this.
Mark: Better but still couldn't score. Need a top-five finish now otherwise a very bad season.
Shane: Brave battle but knew the outcome would be a defeat. Yet again Slot messes with the line-up when he should have started with the team that beat Fulham. Can't wait to see the back of him.
Paul: We gave it some in the second half, but the game was lost when Slot named his starting line-up. To think we lost on penalties to PSG last year (admittedly they played better than us over two legs) but this year the gulf was enormous between us. Slot is clueless and needs to go - enough is enough.
Miko: Slot's decision to start an out-of-rhythm Isak was baffling at best and diabolical at worst. Still, the gulf in class between us and PSG was undeniable across both legs. Ekitike's serious injury rubbed salt into our wounds. It's maddening - our expensively assembled squad isn't good enough to challenge for trophies, transition season or not. Slot and Hughes must answer for the transfer business that landed us here. We have regressed while our closest rivals have progressed.
Liverpool's exit was attributed to a combination of tactical issues and performance inconsistencies during the match.
Fans expressed mixed feelings, with some praising the team's improvement while others criticized their disjointed and ineffective play.
The elimination from the Champions League may affect Liverpool's morale and focus as they shift their attention to domestic competitions.
