'Anfield has turned against Slot - that's when you know things aren't right'

Abigail Rudkin from The Anfield Wrap and Redmen TV told BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club that Liverpool "need to start looking at other options because it's not working" with Arne Slot. The Reds are in fifth in the Premier League with 49 points, but the chasing pack for a European spot are less than a handful of points behind and that includes David Moyes' Everton . "All of it just feels like a mess," Rudkin said.

"I don't want to even think about the fixtures we have left to play. "We've still got Everton away and it's making me sick because they are three points behind us. That's when you know the manager's job should be on the line and the Liverpool fans will start panicking.

"Liverpool need to start looking at other options in terms of a manager because it's not working. I said in the summer that this needed to be a transitional period with a bit of leeway, but from what we are seeing on the pitch and hearing in his press conferences, there's no fight or belief from Arne Slot or the fans. "The only certainty, in terms of consistency, is that we are going to be having a poor performance with everyone looking confused by what we're trying to do.

The Anfield crowd has turned against Slot and that's when you know things aren't right - it's not just those on social media who feel that way. "None of these players look like they have any fight at all and Slot has had odd decision-making. I can't see how we go on from here.

"Slot doesn't buy into the fans or the club, or even Liverpool because he doesn't live here. There are all these conversations going on among the fans. " Watch the full episode of Monday Night Club on BBC iPlayer or listen on BBC Sounds [BBC] [BBC]
