Commentary on the match Leeds vs Liverpool, 0:30 on December 7: Pressure surrounds Arne Slot and his team

Leeds vs Liverpool form

Before hosting Chelsea a few days ago, Leeds fell into a corner after a series of 4 consecutive defeats. The achievement of only earning 3 points after 7 rounds caused the Elland Road team to fall into the red light group and face a serious crisis of confidence.

Many pessimistic comments said that Leeds will be like the case of the three rookies last season. Once falling into the quagmire at the bottom of the table, they will not be able to recover and will sink in their own desperate efforts.

But instead of letting their emotions weigh them down, Ampadu and his teammates marched out of the Elland Road tunnel with great determination. Their fiery fighting spirit brought them a worthy result, a surprising 3-1 victory to move up and temporarily escape the bottom three teams.

Apart from the simple point value, the achievement of defeating the giant from London also helped restore the confidence of the white shirt boys. They will certainly bring that burning fire into the reception of Liverpool.

In 7 home games since the beginning of the season, the home team has only lost 2, drawn 2 and won 3. Elland Road still deserves to be considered an important support point in the journey to find a ticket to stay in the league for coach Daniel Farke and his team.

If Leeds are in high spirits, Liverpool are at a crossroads. Last weekend's 2-0 defeat of West Ham could not be the turning point that brought a new look to The Kop. A few days ago, Liverpool continued to fall into disappointment when welcoming Sunderland.

The defending champions had to struggle to keep 1 point. Immediately after the match, many sources inside Anfield confirmed that Liverpool's leadership was seriously considering the future of coach Arne Slot. They had gradually lost patience with the recent series of poor matches and could no longer sit idly by and watch things spiral out of control.

The Dutch coach will not have many opportunities to correct his mistakes. In fact, if he fails to help Liverpool win all 3 points in the trip to Yorkshire this weekend, the hot seat at Anfield will completely change hands.

The pressure is of course weighing heavily on Slot's shoulders. But at this point, perhaps the 47-year-old strategist has also envisioned an unhappy scenario for himself. Because, just looking at The Kop's weak performance since the beginning of the season, the change comes as an inevitable consequence.
