Liverpool have now suffered six defeats in their last seven Premier League games, dropping to 11th place after a dramatic collapse in form. The reigning champions look a shadow of the side that lifted the title under Arne Slot last season, appearing disorganised, lethargic, and vulnerable at the back. The loss to a Nottingham Forest team that had gone eight matches without a win summed up their decline.
Defensively, it’s been their worst-ever start to a Premier League campaign, with 20 goals conceded in 12 matches and a negative goal difference—an astonishing downturn for a team once considered among Europe’s elite.
Arne Slot’s job remains safe—for now
Fabrizio Romano reports that while Liverpool’s hierarchy is concerned, they are not currently planning to dismiss the Dutch coach. Speaking on YouTube, Romano stressed that the owners still back Slot, though they expect far better performances from both the manager and players, echoing Virgil van Dijk’s recent comments about shared responsibility.
Slot is aware of the seriousness of the situation but still feels supported by the club. Liverpool are not in discussions with any alternative candidates, nor are they actively contemplating a managerial change at this stage. However, results must improve quickly, particularly in the Premier League.
