Liverpool fans call for Slot to be sacked
The FA Cup quarter-final, which many viewed as Slot’s last chance to save his debut campaign, turned into a humiliation as Erling Haaland scored a clinical hat-trick to send Pep Guardiola’s side into the semi-finals for a record eighth consecutive season.
The “Arne Out” sentiment, which had been simmering following a 2-1 loss to Brighton before the international break, reached a boiling point before the final whistle even blew in Manchester.
Social media was flooded with demands for the Dutchman’s dismissal, with many fans calling for Steven Gerrard to be given the interim role immediately.
One said: “Let Stevie G see the season out. Can it really be worse than what we are seeing now? And let Xabi take over at season end.
“Stevie G recently said he would be open to an assistant role if asked:
“I would do it for Liverpool Football Club if I was asked and they felt that I was the right man to do it, I’d be up for it, of course.”

Another said: “Bring Gerrard in just for the team morale at this point. Forget tactics. This team need a lift in confidence & Gerrard will do that. Look fora new manager in the summer. These players don’t believe in slot”

And others didn’t care who comes in but wanted Slot sacked immediately.
One said: “John Henry needs a cataract surgery if he thinks Arne Slot should remain Liverpool manager.”

Pressure mounts on Arne Slot amid Liverpool crisis
Reports suggest the Liverpool hierarchy had planned to assess Slot’s future at the end of the season, but that stance is now under serious pressure.
With Mohamed Salah already confirmed to be leaving this summer and the club sitting fifth in the Premier League, the margin for error has disappeared.
A huge PSG clash in the Champions League is now looming, and it could prove decisive for Slot’s future.
Meanwhile, links to a “romantic return” for Xabi Alonso continue to intensify as uncertainty grows at Anfield.
