Journalist confirms former Liverpool star is ‘in the running’ to replace Arne Slot Could Xabi Alonso Replace Arne Slot at Liverpool? Liverpool’s season has veered sharply off course, and the scrutiny on Arne Slot is intensifying with each passing week. Speaking on the Anfield Index podcast Media Matters, journalist Lewis Steele did not hold back in his assessment to Dave Davis .
Reflecting on the defeat to Manchester City, Steele described it as “embarrassing,” adding, “there was no fight. ” The criticism is not limited to a single performance. Steele was clear that this decline has been ongoing, saying, “none of the problems that we saw on Saturday were new,” and more damningly, “Slot doesn’t have the answers.
” The Reds’ struggles continued in their 2-0 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain last night, with a major task now on their hands in the return leg at Anfield if they are to make into the final four of the Champions League. Player Performance and Dressing Room Concerns Beyond tactics, the conversation highlighted deeper structural issues within Liverpool. Steele painted a bleak picture of a squad lacking belief and cohesion, noting, “every single player just is a shadow of his former self.
” More alarmingly, he suggested a disconnect between players and manager, stating, “they look like a team that’s given up and they look like a team that’s not playing for the manager. ” He added, “I think Slot has probably lost the dressing room. ” Such claims carry significant weight, particularly when combined with reports of player behaviour and visible frustration.
