Liverpool fans voiced their displeasure during a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa at Anfield on May 9, 2026, with chants calling for manager Arne Slot to be sacked. The match, part of the Premier League season, saw Liverpool struggle to create clear chances, leading to a lifeless performance that frustrated the home crowd.
According to reports from BBC Sport and The Guardian, the draw leaves Liverpool in 5th place in the Premier League table, with 63 points from 36 games, trailing the top four by 5 points. This result extends a run of poor form, with Liverpool winning only 2 of their last 8 matches across all competitions.
Slot, who took over from Jürgen Klopp in the summer of 2025, has faced increasing scrutiny after a series of disappointing results. Fans were heard chanting 'You're getting sacked in the morning' during the second half, reflecting growing discontent with the team's direction under the Dutch manager.
Liverpool's next match is against Southampton on May 15, 2026, a game that could be crucial for Slot's future at the club. The club's board has not publicly commented on the manager's position, but sources close to the team suggest that results in the final two games of the season will be decisive.
