Ex-Liverpool forward criticizes Arne Slot after Anfield draw

Liverpool’s 1-1 draw against Brentford at Anfield concluded their underwhelming season. Arne Slot’s future as manager came under scrutiny following the result.

Former Liverpool forward Daniel Sturridge questioned Slot’s leadership in a public statement. Sturridge described the club’s recent performance as ‘horrendous’.

Liverpool finished 8th in the Premier League with 62 points from 38 matches. Slot was appointed manager in June 2024 after Jürgen Klopp’s departure.

Brentford equalized in the 89th minute through Kevin Schade. Liverpool’s equalizer came from Mohamed Salah in stoppage time.

Slot’s side struggled for consistency throughout the season. They won 18, drew 8, and lost 12 matches under his leadership.

Sturridge’s comments add pressure to Slot’s position ahead of the summer transfer window.
