hit out at the \u201cembarrassing\u201d display<\/a> form his former side and raised questions as to when Liverpool might pull the trigger and send Slot packing.<\/p>\n\u201c4-0 down before 60 mins is embarrassing, doesn\u2019t matter who Liverpool are playing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen is enough, enough. At what point does big decisions need to be had?<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can you watch that, and go next season, yeah, we are going to be better, when at no point this season have we seen it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool are currently fifth in the Premier League, one point above Chelsea, with that spot almost certainly leading to Champions League football next season.<\/p>\n
Last month, Pennant said he believes Slot will be shown the Anfield door if they fail to qualify for UEFA\u2019s showcase competition.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThere\u2019s massive pressure. Liverpool don\u2019t boo after games. Or they do it very, very, very, rarely.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, if you put in a good performance and lose, they will clap you off. But the boos are just getting louder and louder.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it is a miserable defence of the title. As current Premier League champions, it is abysmal.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the players and the manager and the fans can\u2019t deny that.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf Slot doesn\u2019t get Champions League football via the league, I don\u2019t think they\u2019ll win the Champions League.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut if he doesn\u2019t get Champions League football next season, I think Liverpool will probably get rid of him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUltimately, the manager, the buck falls with him. He selects the players. He has to motivate the players. He chooses the tactics. He chooses the style of play.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut on the flip side of that, the players have got to go out there and take accountability as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cArne Slot is not kicking the ball. Arne Slot is not defending. Arne Slot is not running around. So I think they\u2019re both to blame.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe players have got to take responsibility, and the manager as well. Maybe for certain selections or style of play.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen the players have got to run around for the badge. They\u2019ve got to run harder than the opposition. They\u2019ve got to win the duels.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they\u2019re both not doing that, then ultimately that\u2019s a recipe for disaster. And the proof is in the pudding of where Liverpool are right now because of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
