Liverpool started off the season well but the past month has seen their form plummet.
After Wednesday night’s defeat to Crystal Palace in the League Cup, the Reds have just one win in their last seven games in all competitions.
Sharp decline in form considering that Liverpool were highly tipped to retain their Premier League crown this season.
The defeats have sparked a lot of outrage in the fanbase, with some Reds saying that Arne Slot could be sacked if this poor run of form continues.
Arne Slot’s side have just one win in October and have a tough run of games coming up. Liverpool face Aston Villa, Manchester City and Real Madrid in their next three games.
Liverpool stance on Arne Slot future revealed
It might sound ridiculous to sack a manager who brought a Premier League title in his first season in charge, but the noise will not go away.
Arne Slot will be granted some leeway but it will get to a point where the club will be concerned.
But a source believes a sacking is far from the case at Liverpool in the next couple of weeks. Former club CEO Keith Wyness does not believe Liverpool are ready to pull the plug on Slot yet, but says any contract negotiations will be on hold now.
Arne Slot signed a three-year deal when he initially joined the Reds in 2024. And after a successful first season including winning the Premier League, there were talks of an improved contract behind the scenes.
But it now looks like until the club’s season is back on track after a horrible run of games, word of a new deal will not be making much headlines soon.
Upcoming fixtures will be crucial for Arne Slot
The next few games will be crucial for Arne Slot. This weekend he will face Aston Villa, who recorded a huge win over Pep Guardiola’s side last weekend.
| Period | Wins | Draws | Losses |
|---|---|---|---|
| First 15 games last season | 13 | 1 | 1 |
| First 15 games this season | 8 | 0 | 7 |
Liverpool then face Real Madrid and Manchester City in the space of five days. If Arne Slot wants to put his side’s season back on track, he will have to pull of something incredible to get results in these games.
The Reds will be happy to see Ryan Gravenberch back in action; the midfielder is set to return for the Villa game this weekend.
