'I honestly don't know if Slot should stay in charge'

Liverpool seem to keep finding ways to hit new lows under Arne Slot, and of course, that is leading to questions around the manager's future.

He will accept that as part of the pressure that comes with such a reputable job, but now the biggest question has now become, is he the right man to actually rescue a team from such a slump?

My honest opinion is that I do not know, but I do not mind giving him the chance to have a go at the trough of this - as much as I wanted him when we were at the peak.

Some people will find that maddening, and I completely understand those sentiments too. To be clear, I think people are right to question everybody involved with the playing staff at the moment. Again, that comes with the territory of playing for Liverpool.

I just think, given what he achieved in such a short space of time and how that had this team so far ahead of their timeline, his bosses should keep the faith that he can get back on that road, back to where we belong.

If they were to sack him, I would be gutted that the man who brought me such brilliant days watching my team lift the league title last season could not work it out, but I would equally understand and try to trust the decision that had been taken.

I would hold reservations about the people sacking him being the same ones involved in the decision-making that led to such an imbalanced squad as it is at present. But if I did not trust the process, there would be no point in any of this, really, would there?

I would also have to trust the players who ultimately are not getting it done at the moment. Even that is a strange part of one man being held responsible for such a litany of issues.

We are very fortunate as Liverpool fans, and I would never give up on my team even if we were much lower down the footballing pyramid.

Yet we are not, and we therefore expect a lot, so we will expect whatever happens next to be the thing that turns us around quickly.

If players or board members had the same lack of job security that managers do, we would probably be having a totally different conversation.
