End-of-season slump has exposed deficiencies for Anfield's new manager to solve but it is no longer an impossible job
The impossible job no longer looks quite as daunting. Barring a miraculous turn of events, Arne Slot, the man identified by as the perfect successor to Jurgen Klopp, won’t be taking over the champions this summer. Instead, the current Feyenoord manager looks set to inherit a squad who are limping towards the consolation prize of qualification to accompany their Carabao Cup final triumph in February. The issues are glaring and the room for improvement sizeable.
But when the stakes have been raised, he has failed to deliver – failing to score in eight of his last nine appearances. Nunez turns 25 in June, he isn’t a kid, but the rough edges and erratic displays remain there for all to see. So many chances have been snatched at and squandered by him. He was so ineffective last night that Klopp’s reluctance to replace him with 18-year-old in the second half was baffling.
