A new development has surfaced regarding Arne Slot’s future at Liverpool following the club’s bruising 3–0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield on Saturday.
The loss marked Liverpool’s sixth defeat in seven matches, a dramatic collapse that has dragged the reigning Premier League champions down to 11th place. Forest, managed by Sean Dyche, secured back-to-back league victories at Anfield — a troubling sign for a squad that entered the season with title-defence expectations.
Pressure Mounts After Another Heavy Loss
Captain Virgil van Dijk urged the squad to own their performances, with Liverpool now trailing league leaders Arsenal by 11 points after the Gunners’ 4–1 win over Tottenham, highlighted by Eberechi Eze’s hat-trick.
Despite a summer spending spree of approximately £415 million, many of Liverpool’s newest additions — including Milos Kerkez, Florian Wirtz, and Alexander Isak — have yet to match the club’s expectations. Hugo Ekitike has shown glimpses of quality, but he remains locked in competition for a starting place.
Fixtures Offering No Breathing Space
The demanding schedule continues, with Liverpool returning to action on Wednesday (November 26) against PSV in the Champions League, before visiting West Ham four days later. With results spiralling, further scrutiny on Slot is inevitable, even though he delivered a Premier League title in his debut campaign.
Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp publicly urged patience, arguing that the club should resist making rash decisions despite the alarming run of form.
Fabrizio Romano: No Immediate Plans to Sack Slot
Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano offered insight into the situation on his YouTube channel, describing the atmosphere as “dangerous” but clarifying the club’s current stance.
According to Romano:
There is no indication that Liverpool’s ownership is preparing to dismiss Slot “now, today, or tomorrow.”
The hierarchy is expecting significantly improved performances from both the manager and the squad.
Liverpool are not holding talks with any alternative managerial candidates at this time.
Results must improve quickly, as the club is unhappy with the current trajectory.
Slot Accepts Responsibility
Slot admitted in his post-match comments that several tactical adjustments he introduced against Nottingham Forest “did not work.” He also reaffirmed that, whether results swing positively or negatively, he is ultimately responsible.
With tension rising, a demanding calendar ahead, and public pressure intensifying, Liverpool’s leadership is watching closely — but, for now, a managerial change is not imminent.
