It's now obvious Liverpool's star player is finished and he will be sold One star player is absolutely finished at Liverpool and he will be sold. When the scythe falls on this appalling season at Anfield, Arne Slot is not going to be the only one feeling its sharp edge. The head-coach is responsible for pretty much most of Liverpool's shortcomings.

It's really hard to envisage a scenario where he will be in charge come next season. But ultimately, some players are also obviously going to be moving on. Liverpool largely have an exciting squad but it's a team that is imbalanced.

There are certain players who are clearly no longer suited to the modern intensity of the Premier League, nor how Liverpool would want to play in an ideal world. Ultimately, Richard Hughes, or potentially someone above him are going to have to make some difficult choices - choices that will see star players depart and others moving on. Unfortunately, no matter how important a player has been to Liverpool, the club's recruitment has shown it can be ruthless.

When Sadio Mane or Roberto Firmino showed even the slightest signs of regressing, the club was quick to press the trigger and let them go. The same was true for Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. There can be no sentiments in football.
