'This is not Liverpool - I'm struggling to see Slot there next season'
[Getty Images] French football journalist Julien Laurens says he is "not sure Arne Slot's message is getting through anymore" and that he is "struggling" to see the Liverpool boss still in the job next season. Liverpool's Champions League hopes are hanging in the balance after a demoralising defeat by reigning European champions Paris St-Germain - their 16th loss of the season. "PSG will look back at the game and think it should have been four or five easily," Laurens told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"The stats make such embarrassing reading if you're Liverpool. It's embarrassing what they didn't produce. "The issue I have with the back five is Liverpool didn't come to play football.
This is not Liverpool. "I don't care if you're in good form or not, you still have good players who can play better than what we saw. Their expected goals was 0.
18, they had no shots on target. "Three shots from the edge of the box all evening, they just did nothing. You can play the back five as long as you come to play football, not just park the bus.
"Somebody was telling me earlier they haven't even worked on that system in training. "I have to say I'm struggling to see Slot on the bench there next season. This season has been so disappointing.
