If last weekend was bad – and it was very bad – just imagine what reaction there will be given that this match is on TV and being shown across the world.
A repeat of the sort of display we saw last weekend in front of the cameras would genuinely represent a crisis of epic proportions for the manager.
Until now, correctly, the lid has been kept on all talk of a major managerial crisis but that would be impossible to maintain should things go completely and utterly wrong at Anfield.
Burnley and Hull would give Slaven and the team a breathing space but the world is watching tomorrow and judgement will be hard to escape.
I am expecting us to nick something. I am expecting a vastly improved performance but I am ready to accept that this 90 minutes is as important as any we will have witnessed in a very long time.
