Carragher: Slot faces 'really difficult' task to win back Liverpool fans

A late equaliser from Tottenham forced a 1-1 draw and left Liverpool fifth, with the defending champions 21 points adrift of Premier League leaders Arsenal and two behind fourth-place Aston Villa in the race for Champions League qualification. Significant numbers of fans were seen heading for the exits before the final whistle, while those who remained greeted the end of the match with boos aimed at both players and the manager.

Jamie Carragher warned on Sky Sports that the reaction at Anfield represented a watershed moment. He said there was a big shift in how the crowd felt about the team and the manager, noting it is not easy for a Liverpool support to turn on a manager who won a title less than a year before and that it will be "really difficult" for Arne Slot to win them back.

Dominik Szoboszlai appealed for patience after his free kick had put Liverpool ahead before Richarlison's late equaliser, while concerns over inconsistency and a perceived loss of the fear factor have left supporters disillusioned.
