Liverpool must bite the bullet and sack Slot to salvage season

Arne Slot called Tuesday's embarrassing 2-1 loss at Wolves "the same old story". And he was right. There was nothing new or novel about their painfully predictable defeat at Molineux. Liverpool produced a dreadfully flat first half, got themselves back into the game after gifting the opposition a goal, only to then lose it by conceding an injury-time winner.

Owen tears apart Liverpool star who 'looks like a bag of nerves'

Michael Owen has launched a scathing assessment of Milos Kerkez following Liverpool's disappointing 2-1 defeat at Wolves, claiming the defender is struggling to handle the pressure of life at Anfield. The former Reds striker suggested the £40 million ($53m) summer signing from Bournemouth appears overwhelmed by his surroundings and urged Arne Slot to restore veteran Andy Robertson to the starting line-up. The Merseyside giants' hopes of finishing in the top four suffered a significant setback at Molineux.

Slot admits Liverpool 'losing far too many games' after Wolves upset

After a 2-1 defeat to bottom-of-the-table Wolves, Arne Slot delivered a stinging assessment of Liverpool's form, admitting they are "losing far too many games". The Reds became the first reigning champions since 2017 to lose to a 20th-place team. Mohamed Salah's equaliser was cancelled out by a late Andre goal, leaving Liverpool with a tough battle for the top four as pressure mounts on Slot to find consistency at both ends.

'Not a joy to watch' - Slot alarmed by PL's set-piece obsession

Liverpool boss Arne Slot has admitted his "football heart" is struggling to adjust to the ways of a modern Premier League, claiming the division’s growing obsession with set-piece routines is making matches a chore to watch. The Dutchman, who won the title in his first season at Anfield, believes the tactical shift toward crowded goalmouths and physical dead-ball plays has turned the English top flight into an outlier compared to its European counterparts. Despite Liverpool’s own recent success from corners, Slot warned that this "new reality" is set to dominate the landscape for the foreseeable future.

With the Reds preparing for a double-header against Wolves at Molineux, Slot suggested the playmaker remains a major doubt for both the Premier League and FA Cup fixtures.
