"I'll be brutally, brutally honest with you," the 45-year-old continued. "I'd help Liverpool in any department at any minute of every day. I'd help them with anything."

In response to Gerrard's claim, one said: "As much as I love Gerrard for what he did during his playing career, I can 99.9999999% guarantee that the decision makers at the club are smart enough to never put him in charge of the first team in any capacity."

"Wouldn't mind him being an assistant coach for us honestly. Provide some personal touch to the man management I feel Slot lacks," another added before a third fan wrote: "With all due respect to Stevie it’s mental there are real people who believe replacing Slot with Gerrard until the end of the season is a good idea."

Liverpool's victory over Spurs marked their third triumph in the last five matches – and it also lifted them into fifth position, above the likes of rivals Manchester United and high-flying Sunderland. Next up, Slot's men are set to lock horns with Wolverhampton Wanderers on December 27.
