Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has been celebrating his birthday today while attending the Champions League final in Budapest.
TNT Sports were quick to get his view on the big news of the day – Liverpool sacking Arne Slot.
“Not surprised,” he said. “Gutted for Arne Slot because in his first year, he had done an incredible job.
“Taking the reins from Jurgen Klopp, that was a tough task and big shoes to fill, and he had done it seamlessly.
“It’s very difficult to win the Premier League, and I know that more than most.
“For him to deliver that in year one cannot be forgotten, so I think he will go down in the history books and be remembered forever.
“Having said that, in the last 10 games of last season and the majority of this season, we have not looked like Liverpool.
“The style – it has been difficult to watch at times. It looks disjointed, broken.
“When I got the news, of course, your initial reaction is surprise and shock, but when you analyse it properly, it’s probably the right time in my opinion.”
