Arne Slot does not listen to fan grumbles or pundit recommendations and, if he did, Liverpool may have suffered the shock of the season on Saturday.

'Get Darwin Nunez off now,' was the gist of the half-time suggestions as Liverpool put in a languid, disjointed display against rock-bottom Southampton. Luis Diaz, too, was in the firing line of the keyboard warriors on social media.
