“‘Thanks and goodbye’ – Liverpool supporters are all echoing the same sentiment about Arne Slot being dismissed.”
Arne Slot’s future at Liverpool looks increasingly uncertain after another frustrating result against Leeds United.
Despite Liverpool racing to a two-goal lead at Elland Road on Saturday, 6 December—thanks to Hugo Ekitike—Leeds, who are fighting relegation, produced a spirited response. Fresh off their win over Chelsea, the home side showed real belief as Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach, and Ao Tanaka all found the net to secure a dramatic 3-3 draw.
The collapse began when Ibrahima Konate gave away a penalty, and Liverpool looked shaky throughout, with Leeds pushing hard to continue their small unbeaten run.
Growing calls for Slot’s dismissal
Pressure on Slot is intensifying, with many fans now openly calling for the club to sack him. Some supporters are even discussing a possible return for Jürgen Klopp, despite Slot having delivered a Premier League title last season.
With fans describing the current slump as “the biggest drop-off in Premier League history,” patience is wearing thin. While Konate has been heavily criticised for his role in the meltdown, many believe Slot is equally at fault for continuing to select him.
> @brian_mccaul: “The team mentally collapsed again. Another Konate mistake and poor set-piece defending. Shameful.”
@WilcoFtbl: “That’s it. Sack Arne Slot. Our form is dreadful with no sign of improvement. It can’t get worse—time for change.”
Slot’s reaction after the disappointing draw
Slot accepted responsibility after the match, saying “we are the only ones to blame,” a comment that may only anger fans further.
His team selections, substitutions, and overall tactics are now under intense scrutiny. Although the players executed poorly on the pitch, many supporters feel Slot must take ownership for the repeated failures.
At Elland Road, the cracks were obvious. Rather than taking charge from the sidelines, Slot remained passive as Liverpool fell apart in chaotic fashion. Leeds, meanwhile, fully earned their point by adapting well, whereas Slot once again failed to react—something that could ultimately cost him his job this season.
