“I SHOULDN’T HAVE STARTED HIM!” – ARNE SLOT HITS BREAKING POINT WITH STAR AFTER GALATASARAY DISASTER
BREAKING NEWS: Liverpool’s shock 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in Istanbul has sparked explosive fallout, as manager Arne Slot publicly admitted he regretted starting one of his senior players.
Clearly irritated after a night of mistakes and controversy, the Dutchman hinted the player’s Liverpool career is all but over—urging him to find a new club before the season ends.
Liverpool had hoped to rebound from domestic struggles, but a first-half Victor Osimhen penalty sealed their fate. Yet the real drama came after the final whistle, when Slot’s blunt post-match comments shook fans across Europe.
Slot’s Damning Verdict
In a fiery press conference, Slot said:
> “I regret starting him tonight. This could very well be his final appearance for me. If this is the standard, he won’t be here beyond this season. Performances like this have no place at Liverpool.”
It was a rare and brutal assessment from a Liverpool boss—proof of Slot’s frustration after watching his player crumble under pressure.
The midfielder in question, though unnamed, was quickly identified by fans online after a woeful display: losing duels, misplacing over 20% of his passes, showing no fight, and being dribbled past with ease.
In Istanbul’s fierce RAMS Park atmosphere, such errors proved costly. Galatasaray took control, and despite a late Liverpool push—including a VAR twist overturning a penalty shout—the Reds never found their rhythm again.
Is This the End?
Slot’s words appear to spell the end for the player at Anfield. Although he didn’t name names, speculation among fans has already singled out underperformers who’ve long been criticized.
For Liverpool, the message is ruthless and clear: Slot is building for the future, and reputations won’t protect anyone. Those who fail to deliver will be cast aside.
Fan Reactions
Supporters erupted on social media after Slot’s remarks. Some praised his no-nonsense stance, saying too many players have been shielded despite poor form. Others worried such public criticism could harm squad morale. A few, however, welcomed it as the jolt Liverpool desperately needed after back-to-back disappointments.
What Lies Ahead
With Alisson sidelined and defensive lapses piling up, Slot’s challenge is huge. His stark comments suggest a major squad shake-up is on the horizon, with underperformers pushed out and fresh blood brought in.
Liverpool’s turbulent season—plagued by injuries, VAR drama, and inconsistency—has taken yet another twist. One thing is certain: Arne Slot isn’t afraid to make ruthless calls in his bid to restore the Reds’ edge.
