The defeat conceded this Wednesday by Liverpool against PSV (1-4) in the Champions League pushed management to give Arne Slot an ultimatum.
The crisis is now very present in Liverpool. With nine defeats conceded in their last twelve matches, the Reds are in great difficulty. The new setback conceded on Wednesday evening against PSV Eindhoven (1-4), as part of the fifth day of the Champions League league phase, pushed the club’s management to issue an ultimatum to Arne Slot.
According to media across the Channel, the coach who succeeded Jürgen Klopp in the summer of 2024 was entitled to an emergency meeting with his leaders after the European drowning. The Dailymail explains having been in contact with sources close to both parties. All confirmed that the immediate future of the tactician was not in question on the Liverpool bench.
On the other hand, Arne Slot will have to win the next two matches with his team, otherwise the end of his adventure will be hastened. There will therefore be a first step to take this Sunday, with a perilous journey to West Ham (3:05 p.m.). After a completely unsuccessful start to the season, the Hammers have enjoyed a resurgence in form over the past three days (2 wins and 1 draw). This is four more points taken compared to the Reds over the same period.
Arne Slot and Liverpool know their mission
If Virgil van Dijk and his teammates manage to win, they will have to do the same four days later when they host Sunderland at Anfield (9:15 p.m.). Here again, it will not necessarily be a gift, even if the Black Cats of Régis Le Bris are clearly losing momentum and have not won for three days.
Twelfth in the Premier League, eleven points behind leader Arsenal, Liverpool also occupies thirteenth place in the Champions League league phase, just one point from the eight tickets for direct qualification in the round of 16. Arne Slot and his team in any case know their short-term mission.
