Arne Slot\u2019s Liverpool side have now suffered nine defeats in their last 12 matches, and the pressure on the Dutchman is intensifying.<\/p>\n
Slot Warned Over How Long He Has Left<\/p>\n
Slot has been told exactly how much time he has to save his job after Liverpool\u2019s slump continued with a heavy 4-1 loss to PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
The Reds have now been beaten in nine of their previous 12 outings across all competitions, conceding three or more goals in each of their last three matches. The latest setback \u2014 a bruising defeat that also sparked an explicit post-match outburst from Curtis Jones \u2014 has amplified the growing concern around the manager.<\/p>\n
Ivan Peri\u0161i\u0107 put PSV ahead from the penalty spot after Virgil van Dijk conceded his third penalty of the season. Dominik Szoboszlai briefly restored parity, but second-half strikes from Guus Til and a brace from Couhaib Driouech condemned the reigning Premier League champions to a second heavy home defeat in the space of a week.<\/p>\n
Slot, who guided Liverpool to the league title in April during his debut season and spent \u00a3450 million rebuilding the squad, is now enduring the toughest stretch of his tenure.<\/p>\n
With doubts emerging over his ability to steady the ship, club legend Jamie Carragher believes the manager\u2019s future hinges on the next three fixtures. Carragher stated that anything less than seven points from matches against West Ham, Sunderland and Leeds United should result in Slot losing his job.<\/p>\n
Writing in The Telegraph, Carragher said: \u201cArne Slot has a week to save his job,\u201d reiterating his belief the Dutchman \u201cshould be sacked\u201d for repeatedly selecting the struggling Ibrahima Konat\u00e9.<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cIt is hard to believe this is being written, but Liverpool\u2019s next three games \u2014 West Ham United, Sunderland and Leeds United \u2014 must yield at least seven points. Anything less will make an already unacceptable situation untenable. No matter how much goodwill the manager has, the club cannot tolerate the drastic dip in standards over the last three months.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carragher added that while the upcoming opponents offer a favourable chance to rebound, failure to improve would force the club to \u201cfind someone else who can.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool\u2019s Position on Slot After PSV Collapse<\/p>\n
Slot remains under contract until 2027 and has even held talks regarding an extension. Because of the length of his deal, sacking him would cost Liverpool around \u00a310 million.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, according to Mail Sport journalist Lewis Steele, the club\u2019s hierarchy still back Slot, with sources close to both the manager and the board insisting that faith in him remains intact.<\/p>\n
Speaking after the PSV defeat, Slot addressed concerns over his future: \u201cI\u2019m OK. I have a lot of support from above. Of course it would be nice to turn things around and get a win, but if you\u2019re a coach and results aren\u2019t going well, it\u2019s normal for questions to be asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m comfortable with my position. This isn\u2019t the first time I\u2019ve faced a difficult situation, but it\u2019s definitely time for us to turn it around.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now 12th in the Premier League, Liverpool travel to West Ham for a 2:05pm kick-off on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
