Alonso At Liverpool FC Feels Inevitable

Liverpool fans are losing patience with Arne Slot as performances crumble. With Alonso under pressure at Leverkusen and legends like Zidane and Gerrard available, supporters sense a managerial shake-up coming. A raw, emotional look at Liverpool's current crisis through the eyes of a frustrated fan.



Carra: "Alonso I maintain will be manager at some point, sooner rather than later?"

It really does feel like everything is lining up for a proper managerial merry-go-round to kick off at Liverpool FC. Arne Slot looks like he's losing his grip because we're clearly not training hard enough, at least nowhere near the level required to compete. Meanwhile Alonso is supposedly losing control because the Real Madrid divas think his sessions are "too intense". You couldn't make it up.

Then, on top of that, you've got Zidane and Gerrard both out of work, both very willing to step in as interims for their respective clubs if needed. It feels like the pieces are all there, just waiting for someone to knock them over. And honestly, I hope Carra's prediction about Alonso turns out to be spot on sooner rather than later.

But let's really put this current form into perspective because far too many fans seem determined to ignore what's actually happening. Roy Hodgson's era is still considered the lowest point in the club's modern history. He had 13 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses in 31 games when he was sacked. Slot this season has 10 wins and 8 losses. We are literally one loss behind Hodgson's team, but in 13 fewer games. Yes, we're not drawing as many as we did back then, but come on. That's not a positive spin. That's a warning siren.

And now think about the team Hodgson had to work with. The summer signings were Paul Konchesky, Christian Poulsen, Danny Wilson, Raul Meireles, Joe Cole and Milan Jovanovic. He inherited a squad with a crocked Aurelio, Agger, Gerrard and Torres. That was a patched-up, limping, bargain-bin squad. And yet Hodgson still somehow made that team harder to beat than Slot has made this current one. He did it on a shoestring budget, inheriting a mess. Slot has inherited a strong side filled with world-class players and been backed with more money than any manager in our history. How on earth are we going backwards?

And before anyone starts, I genuinely do not care that Slot won the league last season. That is completely irrelevant to how we are performing right now. You don't get extra points for what happened last year. This isn't nostalgia FC. What we're watching now is close to becoming a full-blown crisis, and yet there are still too many people with their heads buried in the sand, or sitting around the campfire humming "You'll Never Walk Alone" like a comfort blanket. It's denial.

I honestly don't even want to watch us anymore. I have never, ever in my life felt like that about a Liverpool side. But here we are. There's no fight, no passion, no fitness, no plan. Nothing that resembles what Liverpool FC should be. It's like having a best friend who keeps making self-destructive choices and you're just stuck watching, unable to help, as they turn into a shell of who they used to be.

And I'll be honest... I think it's genuinely breaking my heart.
