We asked for your views on Wednesday's defeat against Paris St-Germain in the Champions League.
Here are some of your comments:
Norman: So sad to see a Liverpool football team walk out onto a pitch knowing they were beaten before the match started. Not one Liverpool player looked confident. The players didn't have a clue what they were doing. There's no spirit in the team, no leader on the pitch and to put five substitutes on and Salah not be one was downright stupidity. Light-weight team, light-weight manager.
Pete: Another abject performance and 6-0 wouldn't have flattered PSG in all honesty - two penalties we managed to somehow avoid along with the red card that would have followed. Slot has lost the dressing room, the fans and seemingly all confidence in himself at this point.
Jason: Parking the bus is the anti-thesis of the Liverpool way. Honestly, I don't know whether to feel angry, frustrated or ashamed. We were extremely fortunate to escape a trouncing. It's only a matter of time before Slot is shown the exit.
Hibbsy: You can't win a football match if you don't lay a glove on the opposition! Just running around, posing without getting stuck in, not committing any full-blooded tackles. At this level, Liverpool's performance is just not acceptable. It's the quarter-final of the Champions League! If you can't compete given what's at stake maybe you are not fit to wear the shirt.
Jimmy: Pragmatic. Intelligent set up from Slot to limit damage in Paris, but could have been undone by hopeless Konate (again). Brief spells such as the beginning of second half where we showed glimpses of attacking prowess. First time I've seen Mamardashvili show that he might have what it takes. I'm saying 3-1 to the Reds on Tuesday and we go through on pens.
Fran: The team looked like they struggled with the new formation and although we only conceded two we were so, so fortunate. I don't think it was worth making such wholesale changes. And let's not kid ourselves; we aren't coming back from this, Anfield or not.
Peter: Absolutely dire, Some players should be totally embarrassed by their performance. Arne Slot - his substitutions are mind-bogglingly wrong most of the time. Forget this season, it's a total loss.
Mark: No shots on target and 26% possession. Need I say more? Slot to go.
