What Crystal Palace fans were chanting at Arne Slot after they beat Liverpool 3-0
Crystal Palace humiliate Liverpool again with emphatic 3-0 Carabao Cup win
Crystal Palace got the better of Liverpool yet again, cruising to a 3-0 victory in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.
Remarkably, it’s the third time this season that the Eagles have defeated Arne Slot’s side, with the Reds’ form showing no signs of improvement.
While much of the criticism has been aimed at the Dutch manager’s team selections, Liverpool’s overall performances have simply not been good enough.
After another dominant display from Palace, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to argue that the London club aren’t the superior side right now — and their fans certainly made their feelings clear inside Selhurst Park.
Palace fans taunt Arne Slot with “sacked in the morning” chants
Liverpool’s latest defeat means they’ve now lost six of their last seven matches across all competitions.
A brief spark against Eintracht Frankfurt recently offered a glimmer of hope, but any optimism quickly vanished following another lacklustre showing here.
Slot’s position isn’t under immediate threat, but the pressure is beginning to mount. Unless he can quickly reverse Liverpool’s alarming slide, questions about his future will only grow louder.
According to Sky Sports journalist Peter Smith, Palace supporters taunted the under-fire Liverpool boss during the game, chanting that he would be “sacked in the morning.”
“The Palace fans are singing ‘sacked in the morning’ at Arne Slot,” Smith reported.
“It’s not quite that bad yet, but a sixth loss in seven games tells its own story — and critics of Slot’s line-up will be feeling vindicated right now.”
Salah and Van Dijk must lead the response
No matter what tactical tweaks Slot attempts, nothing seems to be clicking for Liverpool. The team’s confidence looks shattered, and performances continue to fall well below the standards expected at Anfield.
At times like these, senior players must take responsibility. Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk — Liverpool’s most experienced leaders — need to rally the dressing room and restore belief.
Both stars returning to top form would certainly help, but the rest of the squad must also step up. If Liverpool continue down this path, Slot’s tenure could be cut short sooner rather than later.
