Lewis Steele: Reijnen likely comes and a fresh voice might help Liverpool Slot, Assistant Search and Reijnen Question Dominate Media Matters Debate Slot under scrutiny On Media Matters for Anfield Index, Dave Davis and Lewis Steele picked through a Liverpool picture that sounded heavy with doubt. Davis framed the mood by saying, “They kind of linger, these defeats, don’t they? ” and added that “there’s just not too much happiness to be found right now.
” Steele’s answer to the wider Slot debate was blunt. When discussing criticism of the manager and the tactical direction, he said one argument from a supporter “basically just completely undermines the role of the manager and the tactics”. His point was clear, the coach matters because, as he put it, managers “are the most important people at the football club”.
On Slot, Steele did not soften the concern. “If people want to defend Slot, then that’s completely fine,” he said, before adding that “some of the rationale behind it is just a bit, all over the place. ” Davis then raised the line that there was “zero evidence” to believe next season would improve, and Steele agreed with the substance of that concern.
