The Premier League\u2013winning manager is now under immense pressure.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have already been told what decision they must make regarding Arne Slot\u2019s future following the disastrous defeat to Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
The Premier League returned on Saturday after a break for the final round of 2026 World Cup qualifiers.<\/p>\n
Following Chelsea\u2019s contentious 2-0 victory over Burnley in the early kickoff, champions Liverpool had the chance to ease the pressure of their dreadful recent form with a home match against Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\n
Instead, the situation spiralled further, as the Reds fell to a shocking 3-0 defeat to Sean Dyche\u2019s side, intensifying the scrutiny on Slot\u2019s position.<\/p>\n
The loss leaves Liverpool 11th in the table, closer to the relegation zone than to last season\u2019s title rivals Arsenal, who currently sit top.<\/p>\n
Across all competitions, Liverpool have now lost eight of their last 11 matches, including five of their last six league games, prompting many supporters to call for Slot\u2019s dismissal.<\/p>\n
Despite the growing pressure, Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp insists Slot\u2019s title-winning achievement last season should buy him time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey need to be patient \u2014 Arne Slot deserves that after last year,\u201d Redknapp said.<\/p>\n
He also suggested that the emotional impact of Diogo Jota\u2019s tragic death and the challenge of bedding in new summer signings may be contributing to Liverpool\u2019s struggles.<\/p>\n
Even so, Slot didn\u2019t shy away from responsibility after the match, taking the blame off his players.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf things go well or things go bad, it\u2019s always my responsibility,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe weren\u2019t able to create enough. I tried to adjust a few things that didn\u2019t work. We couldn\u2019t score. We\u2019re in a very bad spell \u2014 it\u2019s that simple. But we play Champions League in a few days.\u201d<\/p>\n
Slot added: \u201cWe have to keep our heads up, work extremely hard, and try to turn this around. It\u2019s been difficult so far. We have quality players, and it\u2019s my job to get the best out of them. I\u2019m not doing that at the moment \u2014 that\u2019s why I say it\u2019s my responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
