Clinton Morrison didn't hold back in a blistering on-air rant aimed at Arne Slot after Liverpool squandered an early lead against Chelsea at Anfield on Saturday. The Reds shot out of the gates with Ryan Gravenberch netting inside six minutes, but instead of building on that momentum, they allowed a struggling Chelsea side—one that had lost six straight league matches—to claw their way back into the game. Enzo Fernandez's equalizer felt inevitable, not against the run of play.

The frustration in the stands was palpable, especially when Slot substituted Rio Ngumoha—one of the few bright spots for Liverpool on the day—midway through the second half. The decision drew audible boos from the Anfield faithful, and for good reason. Speaking on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday shortly after the final whistle, Morrison let loose on the 47-year-old manager, accusing him of avoiding accountability.

"When you take the lead at Anfield against a struggling Chelsea team, you should go on and win," Morrison fumed. "But after scoring, they just sat back. Some of Slot's substitutions were nowhere near good enough. I'm sick and tired of him. He'll make excuses and blame someone else instead of looking in the mirror. He's the manager—he should be solving the problem, but at the moment, he isn't."

Morrison's frustrations echo a growing sentiment among fans who once saw Slot as untouchable just a year ago. The decision to pull Ngumoha for an ineffective Alexander Isak backfired badly, while Cody Gakpo—who struggled to make an impact—remained on the pitch for 12 minutes longer. It's the kind of tactical misstep that leaves supporters questioning whether Slot has the answers to turn things around. For now, the pressure is mounting, and the excuses are wearing thin.
