This season has been...
completely and utterly unacceptable and Liverpool standards have to be higher so you know people all judge for themselves whether that was that was speaking from the heart or not but I think also it's important to say that Swat said himself at repeated times this isn't the football that he wanted to play you know it wasn't like he was kind of saying well this is no this is
You know, people are going to have to get used to it.
This is how I want Liverpool to play football.
It was, I actually asked him after the game against Chelsea, when there was such a torrent of abuse and boos and jeers in his direction, I said, you know, what, what happened in that first half when you were 1-0 up, you had momentum and your team completely took their foot off the gas.
And at Anfield was, you know, the sense of unrest and anxiety at like the sight of players putting their foot on the ball and slowing the game down when it was like, well, no, Chelsea are so vulnerable, go for the jugular.
And he kind of initially gave quite a sarcastic response in terms of, oh yeah, no, that's exactly what I told them to do.
And then said, well, of course I don't.
He said, you know, that wasn't the game plan.
That wasn't the way he wanted to do things.
And he would argue that, of course, the way he wanted to play football was hampered by injuries, by players losing form, by new signings still adapting to the demands of the Premier League.
But unfortunately, that faith in him just ebbed away.
And there was friction behind the scenes in terms of in the dressing room.
And you only had to see, you know, the negativity at Anfield and the empty seats, which quite often does for a Liverpool manager as well towards the end of his reign when people just give up hope late on in games.
And unfortunately for Arnaud Slot, that's what happened.
Yeah, I think in time, what he did at Liverpool will look a lot better than maybe everyone feels about it now.
Because I think the more that time passes, people will appreciate that this was a guy when lots of people were not prepared to take on that challenge.
Because everyone said, you know, you don't want to be the person after Jurgen Klopp.
You want to be the guy after the person who comes after Jurgen Klopp.
But Slot backed himself.
