Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has revealed what he thinks it would take for his former club to sack head coach Arne Slot in the coming weeks\/months.<\/p>\n
Slot <\/a>has suffered a dramatic fall from grace since helping Liverpool <\/a>win their 20th Premier League title at the end of last season.<\/p>\n The Dutchman is the favourite to be the next Premier League manager sacked<\/a> after Bournemouth ended Liverpool\u2019s unconvincing unbeaten run at the weekend.<\/p>\n A poorly handled summer transfer window and the decline of key stars have contributed to Liverpool\u2019s downfall, but Slot has made a string of poor decisions and is also under fire for his tedious tactics.<\/p>\n Slot appears to be losing fan support, with supporters clamouring for the appointment of former Real Madrid boss and club legend Xabi Alonso after he was FSG\u2019s first choice to replace Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n This means Slot is in a real fight to keep his job, with Liverpool likely to be in a fight with Chelsea and Manchester United for two Champions League places.<\/p>\n And according to Carragher, Slot will not have a \u201cleg to stand on\u201d if Liverpool do not qualify for the Champions League.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you don\u2019t qualify for the Champions League, having won the league the season before and spent as much as Liverpool, I don\u2019t think you\u2019ve got a leg to stand on,\u201d Carragher said on Sky Sports\u2019 Monday Night Football.<\/a><\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Alonso \u2018requests\u2019 five Liverpool sales after the Reds make the decision to sack Slot\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe real worry I have for Liverpool in terms of qualifying for the Champions League is the three big things that stand out in the Premier League now are set-pieces, counter-attacking football and coming up against low blocks.<\/p>\n \u201cLiverpool can\u2019t cope with any of them. What we\u2019re seeing is a team in the Premier League that\u2019s not suited to the Premier League.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce you start seeing what Manchester United and Chelsea have done in the last couple of weeks, you start seeing that Liverpool could actually finish outside the Champions League positions. I really fear for them.<\/p>\n \u201cOnce you start fearing Champions League qualification for next season, that\u2019s when I think we\u2019ve got a completely different proposition when we\u2019re talking about the manager\u2019s job. That, for me, is completely different.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we\u2019re talking about not winning the league or challenging for the league, that is a collective responsibility, and Liverpool don\u2019t win the league every year.<\/p>\n \u201cNot making the Champions League from [being] champions, spending \u00a3450m and having the highest wage bill in the Premier League, which is normally the biggest determining factor over where you finish in the league, I think you\u2019ve got serious questions to ask.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Carragher has also explained why he thinks Liverpool need to \u201cbring forward\u201d their plans for a new centre-back to this month\u2019s window after missing out on Manchester CIty newbie Marc Guehi.<\/p>\n \u201cLiverpool have always had a policy of waiting for the guy they want. Not panicking,\u201d Carragher added.<\/p>\n \u201cLiverpool are short at the back. If they had to pay a bit extra for someone they wanted in the summer, I would bring that forward.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not interested in Liverpool buying a player they\u2019re not fully convinced of.<\/p>\n \u201cBesides that summer, Liverpool\u2019s track record in the transfer market over the last seven or eight years has been pretty good. It\u2019s not looking as good this summer.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m still backing them to make the right decisions and the right decision is to buy a defender. If Virgil van Dijk got an injury that would write off the season.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe they\u2019ve got something up their sleeve, but I don\u2019t want them to panic buy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has revealed what he thinks it would take for his former club to sack…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":266767,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[16118,42,1100,16659,1101,43,1102,40,38,41,39,9418],"class_list":{"0":"post-266766","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-arne-slot","9":"tag-headlines","10":"tag-home-page","11":"tag-jamie-carragher","12":"tag-liverpool","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-premier-league","15":"tag-top-news","16":"tag-top-stories","17":"tag-topnews","18":"tag-topstories","19":"tag-uncategorized"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266766"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266766\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266766"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
