Liverpool are holding internal talks…” – Romano shares a new update on Slot as the situation grows increasingly difficult.
Fabrizio Romano has offered fresh insight into Arne Slot’s position at Liverpool following another tough weekend for the Reds.
Saturday’s heavy 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest dragged the champions into the bottom half of the table and intensified the scrutiny on Slot. Despite the outside noise, figures like Gary Neville insist the manager’s job shouldn’t be in danger, and it seems the Liverpool board feel the same way.
Liverpool continue to back Arne Slot
Speaking on the Here We Go Podcast, Romano explained that Slot is fully aware of the urgent need for improvement, but the club’s leadership is standing firmly behind him. He noted that Liverpool aren’t making any moves to find a replacement and that senior figures are calmly assessing the situation.
According to Romano, it’s a difficult and “emergency” period, with internal discussions taking place across management, staff, and players about how to turn things around. Slot knows results must improve quickly—especially in the Premier League—and the owners and executives still support him while expecting better performances soon.
Patience remains, but Slot needs quick progress
While Liverpool are known for giving their managers time, Slot understands that the team’s current run—eight defeats in 11 games—can’t continue. Critics like Danny Murphy have urged both the manager and players to take responsibility for the downturn.
We still believe Slot is capable of steering the club back onto a positive path, even if it means adjusting his approach in the short term to secure vital results and rebuild confidence.
Liverpool won’t rush into drastic decisions, and it would take a significant further decline for FSG to seriously consider changing managers. Still, Slot urgently needs a few wins to relieve the pressure and lift the mood around Anfield.
