[Getty Images] Former Premier League striker Clinton Morrison believes there will be "some big question marks" around Arne Slot after fans booed his decision-making in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea . The Dutch head coach took Liverpool's bright spark Rio Ngumoha during the second half at Anfield, a decision which was widely booed by the crowd. Morrison said: "Liverpool started off brilliantly and got a goal through Ryan Gravenberch but they just sat back after that, let Chelsea back into the game and made mistakes.

"I've watched Liverpool so much this season and they are so passive. They don't go and press the ball like they did under Jurgen Klopp, they just let teams back into games. "Then Arne Slot went and took off the one player who was taking the ball on and giving his side a spark in Rio Ngumoha this weekend, all because he wanted to keep the likes of Cody Gakpo on.

"I've never heard a crowd get onto a manager and a group of players as much as I'm currently seeing at Liverpool. It is a club known for having some of the best fans, who always stick with the team and the management. "So there are going to be some big question marks over Arne Slot.

" The Telegraph's Luke Edwards added: "I've got a lot of Liverpool supporting friends and they have turned, they have gone. "They feel the team and the players have regressed. They aren't sure that the players look like they want to play for the manager anymore.

They feel there is no passion or determination. They feel there isn't really an identity there. "Now that is pretty harsh for any manager, isn't it?
