Liverpool held Arsenal to a goalless draw in their recent Premier League match.
Some fans called for Arne Slot’s dismissal during the first half against the leaders.
The Reds improved in the second half, managing to control possession and secure a point away from home.
While they are out of the title race, a top-four finish remains possible.
A more positive atmosphere has emerged since the match, yet there are still concerns about internal issues.

Reports indicate that Liverpool may not be very active in the upcoming January transfer window.
The limited squad depth became evident against Arsenal when Slot chose not to make any substitutions.
On The Rest Is Football, Gary Lineker discussed rumors of a rift between Richard Hughes, Liverpool’s sporting director, and Slot.
“The higher-ups want to make key decisions. We’ve seen that happen before,” he stated.
“There are strong rumors about a fallout between Arne Slot and Richard Hughes,” he added.
“People are interested in influencing team-related decisions,” Lineker explained.
Need for More Activity in the Transfer Market
The validity of the rumors about Slot and Hughes not agreeing is still uncertain.
However, it is clear that Liverpool needs to act more urgently in the transfer market.
There are no expectations for Marc Guehi to join this window, as Manchester City appears interested in a quick deal while Liverpool sees him as a summer target.
Meanwhile, Antoine Semenyo is heading to City, and Liverpool has yet to make any moves for first-team players.
The squad’s thin nature has become even more apparent due to injuries. On Thursday, the lack of depth compared to Arsenal was obvious, but FSG does not seem eager to make changes this month.
