Liverpool suspension
Liverpool manager Arne Slot
Liverpool fans expected a reaction from their boss Arne Slot. Instead, they watched another painful night unfold at Anfield.
A 4–1 loss to PSV Eindhoven has now pushed the Reds into one of their toughest runs in recent years, and the pressure around Arne Slot has grown louder than ever.
What the coach said afterward has only added more curiosity. Is he calm because he believes he can fix it, or because he sees the situation differently than the supporters?
Slot appeared firm, but there was a clear sense that he knows the walls are closing in. Liverpool have now suffered nine defeats in their last 12 games, and the questions around the manager’s future are not going away anytime soon.

Is Arne Slot worried about the Sack?
Reporters asked the question straight: is he concerned about losing his job?
Slot answered: “No I am not worried. My focus is on other things than worrying about my own position. I need to do better.”
It was calm. It was steady. But it was also striking, especially after back-to-back 3–0 defeats to Manchester City and Nottingham Forest, followed by the PSV embarrassment.
Slot acknowledged the criticism, saying it was “normal” that people talk when results fall apart.
He even admitted the run shocked him. For a coach who lifted the Premier League trophy just months ago, this slide has hit harder than a late stoppage-time sucker punch.
A Turning Point or a Breaking Point?
Slot insisted the quality is still there. But the numbers tell a grim story. The Reds have only won 51% of their matches in 2025. Eighteen losses in 49 games. And nine defeats in the last 12. That’s not form — that’s freefall (stats via transfermarkt).
Slot revealed he speaks to the club’s leadership, but not in a panicked way. He said: “They don’t call me every single minute of the day to tell me that they still trust me.”
But he added that he feels the trust during normal talks.
Still, he admitted he has not spoken to them after the PSV loss. That alone will raise eyebrows.
When reflecting on errors and the team’s mentality, Slot said it plainly: “I need to do better.”
Football fans love a comeback story, but right now, Liverpool are giving more plot twists than anyone asked for.
Can Liverpool recover from this slide?
The fall has been steep. Since that penalty shootout defeat to PSG — widely seen as a turning point — Liverpool have won less than half of their matches. Even the early-season streak required late goals and last-minute drama.
Slot’s overall Liverpool record remains strong on paper, but football is about the present. And the present feels shaky. Very shaky.
What Anfield Home thinks?
Slot’s confidence in surviving the storm is admirable. But football is a results game, and the results are rolling the wrong way.
The PSV loss felt different — not just a bad night but a sign that deeper issues need fixing fast. Liverpool fans want to see fight, structure, and identity again. Whether Slot can deliver that under mounting pressure will define the weeks ahead.
