Liverpool’s exit from the Champions League means they will finish the season trophyless, and the only thing they have left to play for is a fifth-placed finish. Over the course of this season Arne Slot has lost all the credit with the fans he built up by winning last year’s Premier League title. So what should Liverpool do next?

On today’s episode Jack Pitt-Brooke, Rory Smith and John Brewin discuss whether it is fair or not that Slot is facing calls for his dismissal. Especially given all the issues with Liverpool’s recruitment this season. They ask what exactly Liverpool might want in a manager if Slot no longer fits the bill. Andoni Iraola and Xabi Alonso are the two highest-profile names linked with the job, but would they necessarily be an improvement? And might there be another out-of-work manager who could be perfect for Liverpool?
