Liverpool seemed to have hit rock bottom after a 0-3 defeat to Man City, but that was not the end of the disappointment. The two consecutive goals conceded at home, against Nottingham and PSV, left The Kop fans unable to endure any longer.
This is the first time since September 1992 that Liverpool have lost 3 consecutive matches in all competitions. More specifically, this is the first time since December that The Kop have lost 3 consecutive matches with the number of goals conceded must be 3 or more.
After 9 losses in the last 12 appearances in 2 months, all the beliefs of Liverpool fans in Arne Slot, even the smallest, are gone. Even when the final whistle of the match against PSV rang, many "Red Brigade" fans cried and whistled in the stands. They cannot accept such a weak team.
In the post-match press conference, Arne Slot tried to stay calm but he could not remain completely silent about the questions about his future at Anfield.
"If any coach in this world loses as much as I do now, the question of the future is something to face, it's very normal. When the team loses too much, people start to speculate about the future of the coach, which is not uncommon.
I still feel safe because I have received support from the club's leadership. If I really don't do my job well, the questions will become more frightening. I feel fine with my current position because this is not the first time I have fallen into such a difficult state.
I need to come back, win and regain confidence" - Arne Slot shared.
Despite trying to reassure himself, Arne Slot could not deny a sad reality, only Dominik Szoboszlai was the one who played at his best and tried hard in every match. The defense that was once the most solid support has now become fragile. Since the beginning of 2025, Liverpool have only kept a clean sheet in 13/49 matches. The unlucky defensive situations of Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk have most clearly described the current instability.
The most vague thing when looking at Liverpool at the moment is where will the chance to find a victory come from? Liverpool could not even equalize against PSV when they were 2-1 behind. In the Champions League, except for the weak Frankfurt team, Liverpool lost all their matches to Galatasaray and PSV, opponents who were considered much weaker than Real Madrid.
Liverpool is a famous team with a tradition of rarely firing a coach. However, it is very rare, not impossible. In the past decade, there were times when Brendan Rodgers did very well but were not fired, but at this time, Arne Slot left a bigger disappointment.
Before the American owners take action, the leadership duo Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes will have to make very serious assessments. If this bad situation continues and Arne Slot remains in office, all three may lose their jobs simultaneously.
Everyone understands how much pressure Arne Slot is suffering, but the Dutch coach has no way back. Another defeat to West Ham this weekend could see everything taken apart, from the £484m investment project in the summer of 2025 to ambitions in all major arenas.
