Liverpool’s loss to Nottingham Forest didn’t just disappoint the fans — it pushed Arne Slot to his breaking point. The usually calm coach could no longer hide his frustration, and this time, he spoke openly about the problem he has been carrying all season.
What happened at Anfield forced the truth out.
Slot’s post-match words surprised everyone:
“I can’t trust him anymore. He pushed me to the edge today.”
He refused to reveal the player’s name, but he made his feelings clear. Slot admitted that whenever he uses this player in important matches, he feels uneasy because he expects mistakes. And the only reason he keeps picking him is because Liverpool have no available replacement at the moment.
“This is why we urgently need the signing we’ve been targeting,” he added.
That statement shook both the dressing room and the fanbase. Slot is no longer holding back.
The Performance That Broke Slot’s Patience
The unnamed player produced one of his worst performances of the season. Every bad touch, every lost duel, every poor pass pushed Slot further into frustration.
He froze under pressure.
He slowed down Liverpool’s rhythm.
He became the main reason Nottingham Forest grew in confidence.
Slot’s reactions on the touchline told the whole story: pacing, shouting, holding his head in disbelief. He has watched this decline for weeks, and this match became the final trigger.
Liverpool Paid the Price
Nottingham Forest targeted him relentlessly. They pressed him every time he received the ball because they knew he couldn’t cope.
Their second goal came directly from his mistake, and Slot’s anger was instant and obvious.
Liverpool didn’t look like a complete team — they looked like a side carrying one major weak link.
“No Replacement” — The Real Problem
Slot admitted that he doesn’t even have the option of dropping the player right now. Injuries, suspensions, and a lack of depth have forced him to rely on someone he no longer trusts.
“This is exactly why we need a new signing,” Slot said.
Liverpool’s transfer plans, once only rumours, have now become urgent. Slot wants a player with composure, aggression, and the ability to handle pressure.
The Player Liverpool Want
Sources inside the club say Slot is pushing the board to speed up a deal for a new midfielder — someone reliable and technically sharp.
Fans have been calling for reinforcements for months. After tonight, Slot has openly agreed.
Message to the Board: Act Now
Slot’s comments weren’t made out of emotion. They were a warning.
Liverpool cannot survive the season with this kind of weakness. The Premier League is unforgiving, and no title-chasing team can afford passengers.
Slot has made it clear:
He’s tired of taking risks with a player he can’t trust.
He’s tired of watching games slip away.
He’s tired of excuses.
The Big Question: Will the Board Respond?
Liverpool’s January transfer window has suddenly become critical.
The manager wants upgrades.
The fans want change.
And the squad now knows someone’s position is hanging by a thread.
Slot has spoken his mind — loudly and publicly. There is no going back.
If Liverpool want to stay competitive, they must reinforce the squad quickly.
Slot has lost trust, and trust is almost impossible to rebuild at this level.
