Liverpool's woes under Arne Slot continue to worsen as the Danish coach's position becomes increasingly uncertain. The Reds are now on a record-breaking nine defeats in 12 games, marking their worst run since the ill-fated 1953-54 season when Liverpool were relegated from the top flight.
The latest drubbing at the hands of PSV Eindhoven was a stark reminder of just how far Slot's team has fallen. The Dutch side delivered a comprehensive thrashing that will leave many questioning whether the manager is up to the task. A despondent Anfield crowd, meanwhile, witnessed their team coast into the exit due to dismal defending and aimless attacking play.
The defeat was marked by Liverpool's captain Virgil van Dijk conceding an early penalty, which Peter Bosz's side capitalized on with ease. The Reds' defense has been woefully unreliable of late, as Slot's tactics continue to fail to address the issues. In fact, they've conceded first in 10 out of their last 12 games – a staggering statistic that raises serious questions about the manager's approach.
The turnaround in fortunes was brief, however, as Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo combined for an equalizer just six minutes after going behind. Despite this, Liverpool's attacking play remained listless and lacked cohesion. The PSV defense, meanwhile, remained solid throughout, with Alexander Isak providing a much-needed boost off the bench.
The turning point came when Mauro Júnior threaded a pass through the Liverpool midfield before Guus Til slotted it past the keeper for the second goal. This was followed by a dreadful error from Ibrahima Konaté that allowed PSV to extend their lead. The French center-back's lack of composure will be of major concern, and Slot may now be forced to rethink his defensive strategy.
The final nail in the coffin came in stoppage time as Couhaib Driouech slotted home after a swift counterattack. For a second game running, Anfield's faithful departed early due to the team's lackluster display – a stark contrast to their usual energetic atmosphere.
As Jürgen Klopp would have undoubtedly predicted, Liverpool are struggling to turn doubters into believers under Slot's tenure. A winless run that stretches back over two months now hangs in the balance, with the Reds' position at Anfield under threat unless drastic action is taken soon.

Liverpool's defense is like a sieve right now and I'm starting to think Arne Slot's not the answer. 10 out of 12 games conceding first? That's just crazy talk! And don't even get me started on Virgil van Dijk's penalty gaffes 
... it's like he's lost his footing. The team's lack of cohesion and attacking play is a major concern too 
. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take, Liverpool's fans deserve better than this 
They're like a team of defenseless players out there. And what's with their attacking play? It's like they're just phoning it in. 
I mean, Anfield crowd was even left disappointed after that one goal they did manage to score... not exactly the best morale-booster. 
they need to go back to basics and work on their defending first, that's where the problems lie 
️ virgil van dijk is getting hammered and it's not just him, the whole team's a mess 
the bigger question is what happens next for lfc? can they recover from this slump or are we seeing some permanent damage? 
. For Liverpool, this season has been a total disaster, and if they want to turn things around, they need to make some serious changes ASAP 
... and that means Slotties out!
, this team is literally falling apart! Like, 9 defeats in 12 games? That's insane! 
The only thing that's still solid is Virgil van Dijk, but even he can't save this team from its own incompetence. 
I need some answers here, stat! 
Virgil van Dijk having that penalty conceded was a major turning point against PSV, and then Ibrahima Konaté's mistake sealed the win for them 
The Reds need to take drastic action ASAP or risk losing their fans' trust 
.
And what's going on with the team's attitude? It was so listless and aimless out there... even Alexis Mac Allister couldn't save them 
. Can we get a coach who knows what they're doing, stat?! 
, his tactics are so outdated and not working at all 
. I'm so done with this team's current form, we need a complete overhaul 
. Can't wait to see who'll come in and sort out this mess 
this is a perfect example of how quickly things can fall apart when we don't take care of the foundation. Liverpool's woes are like ripples on a pond - they start small but can spread fast and deep. Arne Slot needs to look at the bigger picture, not just focus on one game or match. Is it his coaching style? His tactics? The players' attitude? I think we need to ask ourselves why our heroes fail us when it matters most. 
I mean, come on... nine defeats in 12 games? That's just ridiculous! Arne Slot needs to get his act together ASAP or he'll be outta there. I don't see how they can keep losing like this and expect anyone to believe they're still a top team. The defense is a joke, the attacking play is non-existent... it's like they're not even trying. And what's with the players just giving up? Anfield crowd is usually so energetic but now they're just sitting there watching their team get thrashed. It's like they're embarrassed for them or something 
, and people are being way too harsh on him 
. The Reds' defense has been a major issue, but I think that's on the players rather than the manager 
. Slot needs to shake things up, maybe try some new formations or bring in some fresh blood, but I wouldn't write him off just yet 
and Slot's tactics just aren't working 
their defense is trash and slot's tactics are so outdated lol @ virgil van dijk conceding that early penalty was like a slap in the face 
- it's like they're playing with their sleeves rolled up and no intention of winning 
. Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté... what happened to these guys? Where's the leadership? The composure under pressure?! It's all just a mess 
... Jürgen Klopp would be right to say that Slot's not up to the task 
!
