Despite Liverpool’s victory over Arsenal, manager Arne Slot has sparked major controversy by publicly criticizing one of his own players. Slot was left furious with what he described as a “lazy” cameo performance at Anfield, insisting that the player has consistently failed to meet expectations since arriving at the club.
In a brutally honest statement, Slot admitted the signing was a mistake, stressing that the player “can’t do anything right” and labeling his contribution as a “terrible performance.” The Dutch coach even went as far as suggesting that the player must be sold in the upcoming summer window, a move many fans appear to strongly support.
The reaction across the fanbase has been explosive, with frustration boiling over at the player’s repeated underwhelming displays. For many, Slot’s blunt comments only confirm what supporters have been feeling for months—that it’s time for Liverpool to cut ties and move forward.
What was supposed to be a positive night following victory has instead ignited heated debate, and all eyes are now on whether Liverpool’s board will back Slot’s demand and part ways with the underperforming star.
