Why Slot Likely Gets Next Season Too – Lewis Steele Explains

Why Slot Likely Gets Next Season Too – Lewis Steele Explains

The final cut looks forward rather than sideways. With calls for an interim manager growing louder in some quarters, this discussion shuts that door firmly. Dave Davis and Lewis Steele explain why an interim appointment makes little sense within Liverpool’s model and why Slot is not only expected to finish this season, but is also likely to start the next. The conversation also touches on the wider managerial landscape, perceived alternatives, and why the summer market may not be as attractive as fans assume. Barring a catastrophic collapse, the consensus is clear: Liverpool are committed to the process. The question is no longer whether Slot survives, but whether he evolves.

Has Slot Lost Key Players? Lewis Steele Breaks Down the Concerns

Has Slot Lost Key Players? Lewis Steele Breaks Down the Concerns

This cut zeroes in on the most uncomfortable part of the Slot debate: man management. From Mohamed Salah’s explosive comments to the continued exile of Federico Chiesa and the handling of young talents, Dave Davis and Lewis Steele examine whether Slot’s blunt, uncompromising style is creating avoidable friction. The discussion weighs honesty against empathy, development against trust, and structure against flexibility. Is this simply the reality of a Dutch coaching philosophy, or are there genuine warning signs emerging inside the squad? With examples from press conferences, player pathways and recent flashpoints, this segment asks whether Slot’s biggest challenge is not tactical, but human. Learn more about your ad choices.

No Panic at Anfield: Lewis Steele Reveals Why Slot Won’t Be Sacked

In the opening chapter of Slot on Trial, Dave Davis and Lewis Steele lift the lid on Liverpool’s internal thinking around Arne Slot and his job security. Despite growing fan frustration, the message from above is clear: the hierarchy, including Fenway Sports Group, are not in panic mode. This segment explores why Slot is viewed as safe for the remainder of the season, how recruitment context and summer expenditure factor into that patience, and why the club’s structure makes a mid-season dismissal highly unlikely. It sets the tone for the series by separating supporter emotion from boardroom reality. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

LFC U18’s Vs Crewe Report

With their third of the week the young Reds made it eight wins on the spin, showing their grit to come from a goal down away at Crewe. After conceding a penalty and falling behind 1-0 within the first 5 minutes, the team rallied and drew level courtesy of a Toni Silva header. The Portuguese winger bundled home after a Krisztian Adorjan corner, grabbing the goal that certainly his performance earlier in the week against Huddersfield deserved.

LFC U18’s Vs Huddersfield Report

The midweek game saw Huddersfield visit Kirkby and another confident performance from the young Reds, who took the lead in the 1st half after Adorjan & Sterling linked up once again. A long through-ball from the Hungarian sent Raheem through on goal, and the N0. 7 produced a neat finish to flick the ball passed the onrushing keeper.

LFC U18’s Vs Stoke City Report

After the FA Youth Cup drubbing of Southend & Raheem Sterling’s 5 star performance it was back to league action for the Under-18’s with 3 games in the space of 8 days. However, with the likes of Jack Robinson, John Flanagan & Suso now training increasingly at Melwood with the reserve squad and only playing for the U18’s in the FA Youth Cup, Academy League games offer an opportunity for some of our other up and coming players to make a name for themselves.

Liverpool FC Need Wingers…

It’s always hard to calculate transfer costs. Transfer fees can be undisclosed, and additional costs such as agents fees and wages etc are even harder to guess. But despite these obstacles, guesstimates can be made. Looking at the stats we do have, the last four Liverpool FC managers, Gerard Houllier, Rafa Benitez, Roy Hodgson and now Kenny Dalglish, have between them laid out nearly £440 million in transfers, on 172 players. By my count, in total the four of them have laid out £10 million or more on a single player 13 times:

Sotirios Kyrgiakos: Season so far

Whenever I see Kyrgiakos, I always think he should be in the film ‘300’ screaming at the top of his voice ‘This is Sparta!!’ rather than being a footballer. So probably playing Centre Half is very suited to him. His strength and aerial ability has been a useful asset in recent years.

Andy Carroll – The season so far

Right, so recently Liverpool have signed Andy Carroll to replace the outgoing Fernando Torres. But what do we really know about the big number nine? Well be looking at his performances for Newcastle this season we can gain a real insight into his game and where he affects play the most on the pitch. Now you might be tempted to jump straight in and say that he is most effective in and around the opposition penalty area, but that is not necessarily the case.

Meireles is more…

Whether Roy Hodgson came to Liverpool with Raul Meireles in his little black book of decent midfielders or whether he was merely the grateful recipient of some good scouting from the Anfield backroom staff is a moot point. What is clear is that he has certainly been the most successful of the departed’s recruits.
