Arne Slot is having a lot of questions asked of him right now.
The Reds are under significant pressure right now, with performances, and subsequently results, not being good enough.
Despite it also being a big team issue, it is Slot who is having to face the music, with the manager having a lot of issues to deal with.

This has led to some even calling for his job, with a small number of fans believing that he is not good enough to take the team forward.
There is another thing being said about Slot, though, that could be damaging if true, although Ally McCoist does not believe it for a second.

Arne Slot has not lost the dressing room, says Ally McCoist
Periods like this are tough for any team, but it can be especially worrying for Slot as he has never been here before with Liverpool.
Last season, everything went swimmingly and there were no issues whatsoever, suggesting this is the time where the manager really shows why he is paid all that money.
However, some think that the players have simply stopped responding and that Slot has lost the dressing room, something McCoist disagrees with completely.

“It doesn’t look as if the players are on board. Where does he see that?” Jeff Stelling asked on talkSPORT.
“Well, that what I don’t get. Right. I don’t get it,” McCoist responded.

“I just don’t get that at all because we’re now saying any drop in form or any drop in standards is the manager losing the players? I don’t agree with that at all.”
Arne Slot can turn this around
It was only last season when Liverpool fans were praising Slot for having better in-game management than Jurgen Klopp, but now some seem to have forgotten that.
Granted, he has made some questionable choices and needs to change things sooner rather than later, but he now probably realises that more than most.
The international break will give Slot time to think about things more and experiment for the next games, with their fixtures, on paper, getting a little easier.
The players were full of praise for him last season too so this is very likely not to have changed in such a short period of time, so if anyone can get Liverpool out of this mess, it is Slot.
