“There were many rumours on Liverpool making contact with Alonso coming from Germany, but I can guarantee that Liverpool this year never made any direct approach with Alonso or with his agents.”

Hard to see Slot winning back the fans’ trust from here

At this juncture it seems certain that Slot will see out the remainder of this horrendous season, but it now feels as though he’s past the point of no return in the eyes of many supporters.

Liverpool are still on course to salvage Champions League qualification – a win at Aston Villa on Friday night would guarantee it – but it’s been a long, long time since there was such open revolt against a Reds manager/head coach as there had been at Anfield two days ago.

Having scored inside five minutes against a Chelsea side in such woeful form, that should’ve been the platform to drive on and get the win which would’ve all but secured a top-five finish. Instead, we eased off and rolled out the red carpet for the Blues to find a way back into the game, which they did.

Slot was also culpable of doing nothing to remedy the clear problem that his team had on the right flank, with Marc Cucurella having a field day up against Jeremie Frimpong and Curtis Jones, and fans had every right to be disgruntled with such a passive, error-strewn performance.

The Dutchman will forever have our gratitude for delivering the Premier League title last season, and it’d be wrong not to acknowledge the extreme difficulty he’s faced in trying to guide his squad through the trauma of Diogo Jota’s death.

However, there comes a tipping point where it feels as though a relationship is irreparable, and Saturday felt like that. FSG might be willing to keep faith in him, but that ship has sailed for much of the fan base.
