Inside Liverpool’s corridors of power, the club’s decision-makers are well aware of the many forces shaping this turbulent season — the emotional adjustment after Klopp’s departure, Arne Slot’s tactical overhaul, and the sweeping squad changes made over the past year.
A campaign that was expected to bring stability has instead drifted off course. The Reds find themselves stuck in mid-table, and their Champions League journey looks increasingly uncertain. For a club with Liverpool’s ambitions and investment, these outcomes are impossible to overlook.
As the pressure intensifies, internal conversations are becoming unavoidable. Liverpool’s leadership is not known for rash decisions, especially regarding managers — but they do pay close attention to long-term patterns. Under Slot, those patterns are pointing in the wrong direction.
Backup plans are already in place. The club has explored temporary solutions as well as long-term managerial options, should a change become unavoidable.
At this point, the issue isn’t whether Slot is under pressure — that much is undeniable. The real question is whether anyone can credibly argue that the situation is still recoverable under his guidance.
Liverpool now faces a stark choice: keep faith in a manager whose ideas aren’t yet materialising on the pitch, or act decisively to protect a squad built to challenge at the top of the Premier League.
After PSV’s emphatic 4–1 win at Anfield, many supporters — and even figures inside the club — fear the moment of truth may be arriving far sooner than expected.
