Liverpool manager Arne Slot has labelled the team's recent form as "ridiculous" and "unbelievable" amid a significant downturn in results.
The club has lost eight of their last 11 matches across all competitions, including two consecutive 3-0 defeats, the latest being against Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday.
This marks the first time Liverpool have suffered two successive 3-0 losses since April 1965, underscoring severe defensive vulnerabilities.
Slot has accepted full responsibility, admitting he feels “guilty” for the team's current struggles, which see them in the bottom half of the league table with a negative goal difference.
Defensive problems are compounded by inadequate investment in the back-line, failed transfers, and injuries to key players such as Giovanni Leoni, Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong.
