The atmosphere around Liverpool has grown increasingly tense ahead of their high-stakes clash with Manchester United, as internal frustration reportedly brews over Arne Slot’s team selection.
A source close to the squad revealed that some within the Liverpool camp are unhappy with Slot’s continued faith in one particular player, despite a dip in form. The insider claimed, “I don’t see Liverpool winning against this so-called fallen Manchester United if he starts tomorrow — not a chance. United knows exactly how to get under Liverpool’s skin, and this favoritism from Arne Slot needs to stop.”
The criticism didn’t end there. The source accused Slot of “gambling” with crucial games, adding that another player — one who has consistently delivered in key moments — has been unfairly benched. “If Arne Slot wants to win, he needs to start the right man. Bench him — and it’ll be four losses in a row, mark my words.”
The comments have reignited debates among Liverpool supporters and pundits alike, with many questioning whether Slot’s tactical decisions have hindered the team’s momentum during a crucial stage of the season.
Fans on social media have also drawn comparisons between Slot and his predecessor Jürgen Klopp, with some suggesting that the former Liverpool manager “would never make such mistakes.”
As Liverpool prepare to face their fiercest rivals at Old Trafford, all eyes will be on Slot’s starting lineup — and whether he heeds the growing calls for change.
This fixture could prove decisive not just for the club’s league position, but for Arne Slot’s credibility as Liverpool’s head coach.
