How these roles work
Blamed (Causer)
Fans named this player as the direct cause of a negative outcome. Examples: "Maguire gave away the penalty", "Ten Hag's formation cost us". Scores are amplified when the causer is blamed clearly.
Sympathy (Victim)
This player was on the receiving end of something — a foul, a bad decision, being dropped, or let down by teammates. Fans feel for them rather than against them.
Credit (Beneficiary)
Fans gave this player clear credit for a positive outcome — a goal, an assist, a key moment. Includes players who enabled something good to happen. This is the co-winner of a match moment.

One of the worst games under Slot tactically - if not the worst - and that's saying a lot.
Mac Allister should never play for us again. Losing, 20 minutes to go in a do or die game and he's flopping about like a cunt, …
And also dives everytime he gets disposed Macca is the embodiment of everything that’s wrong rn

That's just disingenuous. He's played 2,679 minutes this season as a starter. Last season he played 1,938 minutes, most of the time as a sub. That's roughly a 12 match difference, or 1/3 of the season. In the 23/24 season he played 1,646 minutes. That's half a season. So his output is actually worse per 90 if you think about it.

I mean, how many total minutes have Isak, Wirtz, and Hugo been on the pitch together? I'm all for being critical, but it's pretty disingenuous to say Slot has fully had all of these signings together at his disposal.

What a fucking diabolical season. Salah clearly was right in what he spoke about in December. I’ll be interested to see what he says once he leaves.
We can still finish SEVENTH, fucking seventh if we lose and Brighton …

Everyone whinging about Gakpo but he seems to be the only one actually trying to score
@LFC Am not sure Richard Hughes and others are watching this team if not tell me why they can't notice that it not just that something is off but the coach himself is actually off.The player re frustrated on the pitch his tactics are useless against the opponents & they still keep him
yes saying “this isn’t ea sports” after i answered your question as if i just said put curtis jones at striker vs what i actually said which was options that he’s literally used at strikers in matches.
i accept your apology :)
Gakpo should be side footing that. Seeing the replay how the hell did he get that wrong?
Misleading headline. Villa certainly never ripped Liverpool apart. They took the lead against the run of play and benefitted from a mistake in the second half. Liverpool should have been ahead with Gakpo missing a rebound. Villa had a decent 10 minute spell after they went ahead and McGinn scored a worldie but in no way did they rip Liverpool apart…
Not a fan of Villa but Ollie Watkins should not have been booked. I know the whistle had gone but we have seen it in the past where the referee or linesman has got it wrong. Ollie should 100% play on and score just incase. Shelvey is a prime example. I would appeal against that yellow 100%. This rule needs to be changed next year due to VAR
We actually had to rely on CHIESA to stop a lethal cross. I'm fucking sick of this. I wish I could skip the next match but it's a farewell for Salah, Robbo and probably half of our squad. Arne Slot has gutred this football club.
That's just disingenuous. He's played 2,679 minutes this season as a starter. Last season he played 1,938 minutes, most of the time as a sub. That's roughly a 12 match difference, or 1/3 of the season. In the 23/24 season he played 1,646 minutes. That's half a season. So his output is actually worse per 90 if you think about it.

Stoke game under Rodgers vibes we all know it should be the end but will they actually do the correct thing.
Calling a team still capable of winning the title “shit” says a lot about our current fan base
Lmao he actually said he won't be surprised if we overtake Bournemouth at set-piece goals conceded 😭... He's just a pure ragebait fuck
I hope Alonso hasn’t signed anything with Chelsea yet… I hope FSG, Hughes and Edwards are actually watching this game. It’s been this all season, get him out and make the change we need before it’s too late and we’re fucked for years to come!

The one who started it was Lampard. Trend-setter in the modern era of PL.
Slot, Ange, Poch (with us), ETH and Rosenior are all followers.
WHILE XABI IS IGNORED! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH OUR CLUB!
Some good points, but Villa was not on the beach at all, you’re wrong about that. They had to win that secure CL, plus they’re riding the high of this being a send off for the final.
Hughes is fucking off to Saudi at the end of the summer, he doesn’t care that Slot’s the wrong choice, he just can’t be arsed with the firing and hiring process on his way out the door
I'm depressed thinking about having to watch the Slot nightmare for at least one more season.
I desperately hope reporters are just wrong
◆ Broke Through — Quality That Beat the Algorithm
And also dives everytime he gets disposed Macca is the embodiment of everything that’s wrong rn
Van Dyke getting away with another push. We aren't allowed to play and they can do whatever they want. I actually don't complain about the refs often, but this performance is fucking bad.
Cannot wait until Uncle Fester departs the club.
You can cry about injuries to the forwards all you want (and Slot was billed as having methods that reduced injury) but nothing excuses this man’s inability to coach a defense or midfield shape.
All year we’ve seen Konate, Macca,…
Salah was never the problem, Salah saw the problem and spoke up maybe the wrong way, but he spoke up
i love how if you criticize Gakpo in a non-match thread everyone gets pissed at you and says that you’re wrong but then in the actual match threads where people watch him play it’s full of criticism of him. Almost like people need to be reminded of how shit he’s been this season

It’s genuinely baffling how easy it is to play us, we’re so open. And then you listen to Slot who’s got the gall to say he knows how to correct that next season. Unless he’s changing his whole XI it isn’t happening. Wharton and a couple of …

If Xabi is available, I cannot understand why the hell we wouldn't be doing everything possible to have him replace Slot. Aside from his legacy with the club and talents demonstrated as a manager, he would have an immediate ability to get Wirtz and Frimpong firing on all cylinders.
I still think Slot deserves to hold his head up high and should be recognized for delivering us #20, but a split is necessary before the Summer so we can have a full pre-season to regroup under new leadership."

"It gets worse
Bournemouth have got 2 games to play... So we could well have no CL next season "
"It gets worse
Bournemouth have got 2 games to play... So we could well have no CL next season "
I think Slot(h) might have a champions league clause in his contract and if we don’t qualify he’s gone……..silver lining of hope haha
could be a blessing if it gets the coach replaced.
We win our final game, it doesn’t matter what Bournemouth do.
And now i'm scared about next season.
The board seriously think after summer transfers he can fix the team omg... He is not the right man, he cannot manage good players.
That's taking into account the top 5. Isn't the 6th place finisher qualifier for Europa league? I know that's little to no consolation but this squad depleted further would not last long in a healthy UCL next season anyway.
Its Brighton. Brighton is the biggest worry. Brighton just has to win two VERY winnable games, and we lose to Brentford. That's it.
They have one came in hand.

>They have one came in hand.
Eww.
We don’t deserve it.

"No one is convincing me this guy isn't getting sacked, like there isn't a single reedeming quality in how this team plays."
So why not sack him now, and play with a random interim
Mitigating circumstances lads don’t forget it
↳
I know the players have been grieving this season, but I'd of thought something like that would have brought everyone together and it seems like it hasn't.
>there isn't a single reedeming quality in how this team plays
How can you say that?!?! There's..... there's.....
Alright I got nothing. You were right
I hope they are saying that to give him ‘motivation’ to get CL
Remember how we all thought Rodgers would go in 2015? Can see that happening again
Having thought the same after the 6-1 defeat against Stoke under Rodgers and witnessed what happened I can’t say I believe it’ll happen
↳
Rodgers would’ve gone sooner if Klopp was ready much sooner tbf
When we limp over the line at home final day will get the “in a tough season on and off the pitch slot was able to secure champions league football”. It’s an absolute joke keeping him at the helm and the two that are deciding are fucking off within the next 12 months. Fsg need to step in and clean house.
Most goals conceded ever in the PL. 3 points in 18 games Vs top 9 sides. We are literally in relegation form.
"You know what genuinely boggles my mind the most? That there are Liverpool fans watching us week in week out, who still believe Slot is the right man going forward. They'll obviously stay quiet tonigh"
"You know what genuinely boggles my mind the most? That there are Liverpool fans watching us week in week out, who still believe Slot is the right man going forward. They'll obviously stay quiet tonigh"
There is one of those in my local supporter group and I've been arguing with him since November. Every excuse he's got to save Slot from any responsibility
98% of the fanbase want him gone that's enough to not entertain delusional support.
Must be daddy issues, middle aged men that see Slot’s bald head and beer belly as the father that abandoned them as a child and can’t let him go again now. The only excuse I can come up with how people genuinely can defend a season long of complete shite from him.
↳
This comment sent me man 😭😭😭
I think it just shows a lot about how strong the psychological pull to stay with the status quo is. When you start with the assumption that things should stay the way they are, you can find a way to work backward and justify it. I don't think a single person would argue we should hire Slot if he were performing like this at Arsenal. It's simply because he is already managing Liverpool.
↳
Yep, sunk cost fallacy and people hate being proven wrong.
I've seen more people moan about fans being pro-Slot than pro-Slot fans.
↳
The fact that after a loss a lot of people's literal first instinct is to personally attack fans who arent as angry as them is pretty telling.
Im sure he's gone, but i desperately hope that IF he stays, he turns it around and wins the league again. That makes me the minority here. Most here would rather the club lose just to win the argument.
You're blatantly ignoring all the mitigating circumstances like him being woefully out of his depth.
↳
You had me until stoppage time on this one mate
"Szoboszlai took the Gerrard comparisons to heart😭"

What a silly Szlob
Da'c ini5--- fi
@Liverpool-Fan2010 oh shut it.

He really is a fantastic coach
Yeah. What did we spend in the Summer? 28m on Guessand? Then we sent him off to Palace.
We've been juggling loans around like Luiz, Bailey, Male, trying to make ends meet. Our best player out for the season halfway through the season.
Performing miracles really.
↳
How has the Iceman been for you? I love the bloke and hope he gets some minutes in the CL next season.
I agree. What he’s done with Villa is taken for granted. And I genuinely think one of the reasons the English media, in particular, don’t talk him up much more is because he exposed Gerrard for being a terrible manager. And the English media mates rates and all don’t want to highlight that.
↳
100%
100% last year was so tight on margins too. We almost were a CL team 3 years in a row.
Don’t really see a single way their season is better then Bournemouth’s, considering budget and expectations
Edit: incidentally, the comment you got downvoted on was not suggesting Emery gets nominated, it was saying he was the obvious manager of the season. Weird thing to lie about.
\>> I know these awards of arbitrary but at this point they aren’t even serious.
\>>Emery is manager of the season. No other manager could have done what he’s done this season.
↳
Villa are 4th and Bournemouth are 6th…
How much more did Bournemouth spend than Villa?
↳
Net spend. Bournemouth sold a ridiculous amount of starters, of course they had to replace them. Meanwhile Villa have huge wages compared to Bournemouth. And Bournemouth sold their best player in January too.
And expectations at beginning of the season were top 6 for Villa, nowhere near that for Bournemouth.
Edit: this season, Bournemouth made 130 mil total, Villa spent 13 mil. Bournemouth sold Hujsen, Zanarnyi, Kerkez, Semenyo, Oattara, Billing and Anthony.
↳
Not one person expected Villa to be in the top 6. There were relegation discussions with Villa.
Absolutely no pundit thought Villa would be top 6.
Villas net spend is far lower than Bournemouth. You’re showing why Emery has done so much better than Iraola

I just don’t see how anyone can still have any faith in this manager, we’re fucking dreadful and have been for quite a while under him.
Huge gamble from the board to go into next season with him

One of the worst games under Slot tactically - if not the worst - and that's saying a lot.
Mac Allister should never play for us again. Losing, 20 minutes to go in a do or die game and he's flopping about like a cunt, losing his head and delaying the game endlessly only to imme…

You know what genuinely boggles my mind the most? That there are Liverpool fans watching us week in week out, who still believe Slot is the right man going forward. They'll obviously stay quiet tonight but I'm sure they're lurking.
Moments like these, I somewhat question the un…

This club is an embarrassment if it sticks with this manager. In fact, they are already an embarrassment because Slot should have been gone last November.
We are really going to stick with him, give him more money for transfers, start next season and sleepwalk into more of this…

It’s genuinely baffling how easy it is to play us, we’re so open. And then you listen to Slot who’s got the gall to say he knows how to correct that next season. Unless he’s changing his whole XI it isn’t happening. Wharton and a couple of wingers aren’t fixing our shape or defen…

It was a defence of Virgil, Ibou, Gomez and Kerkez. There are not many better backlines than that. Slot says he knows how to fix it then why doesn’t he do it. Relying on signings to fix things is a sign of a manager with weak mentality who blames others for his shortcomings.

If the result stays as it is, we'd have averaged 1.3 points per game for the last **32** league games.
If the entire season played out by that standard, we would finish on 52 points.
We had a massive outlier run of form to start the season, but we've played like a team that s…

Emery deserves insane level of respect man. 4th consecutive Premier league season he has secured European football for Villa. 2nd time in 3 years UCL football secured with 1 game away from winning a European trophy. Ridiculously underrated.

For me it's not the defeats or the results.
It's the style. We've been outrun by every team in the league home and away. Only comparable team in that stat is Chelsea and they outrun us.
We talk about DNA, our club is one that runs, presses, fights. It's unrecognisable.
