Liverpool’s Worst Start in Years Puts Arne Slot Under Scrutiny, But Job Remains Safe
Liverpool’s shocking 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest has left the club in one of its lowest points in recent memory. The loss marked the Reds’ sixth defeat in seven Premier League matches, leaving them 11th in the table and highlighting a dramatic collapse in form.
The defending champions looked disjointed, flat, and defensively fragile, conceding easy goals and showing little of the intensity that carried them to last season’s title under Arne Slot. Statistically, it’s Liverpool’s worst defensive start in Premier League history, with 20 goals conceded in 12 games and a negative goal difference.
Despite the crisis, Slot’s position is secure for now. Fabrizio Romano confirmed on YouTube that Liverpool’s owners are not considering sacking the Dutch manager at this stage. “Liverpool are NOT thinking of changing the manager right now,” Romano said. “Of course, the club expects better results from both the manager and the players. Arne Slot knows the situation is dangerous, but he also feels the club’s trust and support.”
