✅🚨BREAKING: Live at Anfield, the mood is tense despite Liverpool edging past Burnley, as pressure mounts on Arne Slot to rethink his team selection. “Leaving him out was a massive mistake—Slot needs to sort out his starting XI fast!” was one heated post-match reaction. Liverpool scraped through with a narrow win, secured only by a late penalty, but many are questioning why Conor Bradley was left on the bench for such an important clash. Critics argue that this decision could have easily cost the Reds points in the title race. “He has to make better calls or face the fallout,” a source close to Anfield warned. The Dutch coach is already feeling the heat, with pundits drawing comparisons to Manchester United’s Ruben Amorim, who has earned praise for his bold and decisive selections. The message is clear—Slot needs to trust his in-form players in key games.
Joe Cole was quick to add his voice, stressing that Bradley should have started. Cole highlighted Bradley’s energy, defensive cover, and attacking drive down the right, which could have given Liverpool control much earlier. “He had to start 💯🙀😱,” Cole insisted, pointing out that choices like these are the difference between a routine victory and a nail-biting finish. The game itself was far from comfortable, with Burnley frustrating Liverpool for long stretches and nearly pulling off a shock before the late penalty drama.
While fans are glad to leave with three points, the bigger concern is Slot’s team selection. With the title race tightening and rivals dropping points, every choice matters. Supporters will be watching closely to see if Bradley features in the next fixture. Slot may have escaped criticism this time, but continuing to leave out key players risks more than fan backlash—it could undermine Liverpool’s momentum and his own job security. The Kop has made its expectations clear: get the lineup right, or be ready for the consequences.
