Liverpool's scenario of firing Slot

Liverpool coach Arne Slot has been the focus of criticism after a string of poor performances in recent times.

Coach Slot is in crisis.

In round 9 of the 2025/26 Premier League, Liverpool suffered a bitter 2-3 defeat against Brentford away from home. This defeat not only caused them to fall further down the rankings but also brought along a series of shameful records in the club's history. According to Independent , if the Merseyside team does not end their poor run of form soon, the possibility of coach Slot being fired is very high.

Currently, Liverpool is only ranked 7th with 15 points after 9 rounds, only 1-2 points ahead of the chasing group such as Chelsea, Crystal Palace or Aston Villa. In the context of the increasingly fierce Premier League, "The Kop" can fall out of the top 10 after just 1 or 2 more losses - which is entirely possible when the upcoming schedule is a "nightmare": Palace (League Cup), Aston Villa, Man City, Forest and especially Real Madrid in the European arena in November.

Insider sources revealed that Liverpool's board of directors are starting to lose patience with Slot. If results do not improve, they are ready to consider inviting Jurgen Klopp back to Anfield - a scenario that was considered unthinkable a few months ago.

In fact, the recent run of results is unprecedented in the club’s history. Liverpool became the first club in the top flight of English football (including pre-Premier League era) to win their opening five games and then lose the next four. They are also the first Premier League champions to lose four games in a row, and only the second time in the club’s history to have suffered such a terrible run of defeats.

This form crisis has left the Anfield dressing room under a dark cloud. Key players appear to have lost confidence, Slot’s signature pressing style has become disjointed, and the defence is making silly mistakes. The easy wins of the early season are now a distant memory.

Having believed in a new cycle of success after Klopp, Liverpool now face an old fear: a season that collapses so soon after being crowned champions. With a tough schedule and heavy pressure from fans, Arne Slot is entering a crucial phase - where a win could save the season, but just one more defeat could spell the end of his short reign at Anfield.
