Liverpool\u2019s disastrous run of form worsened with Saturday\u2019s astonishing 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest, piling even more pressure on Arne Slot as questions grow over his future at Anfield.<\/p>\n
The Premier League champions have now been beaten in six of their last seven league games and have slipped to 11th in the table. Slot is bearing the weight of the criticism, and his position is becoming increasingly fragile.<\/p>\n
Arne Slot unlikely to be dismissed immediately despite slump<\/p>\n
According to Football Insider, Mick Brown has indicated that Slot is not expected to be sacked this week, but continued poor results could quickly change that.<\/p>\n
Brown explained: \u201cIt\u2019s a strange situation and they\u2019re searching for answers. Usually when a team struggles, the reasons are obvious \u2014 players making mistakes or clear tactical issues \u2014 but that hasn\u2019t really been the case here. So naturally the blame shifts to the manager. Six defeats in seven is almost unthinkable.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere will be serious questions soon. How long can this continue? I don\u2019t think they\u2019re planning to sack him right now, but what if this becomes eight, nine, ten games without improvement? They may have no choice but to act.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can\u2019t pinpoint a single cause for Liverpool\u2019s slump. The players share responsibility, but the manager always ends up carrying the blame.\u201d<\/p>\n
Should Liverpool part ways with Slot?<\/p>\n
Given last season\u2019s title triumph, Slot has earned some patience. But that goodwill is fading, and unless results turn around quickly, Liverpool may be forced into a major decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
