Liverpool’s Anfield stadium was left stunned as Nottingham Forest secured a resounding 3-0 victory over the Reds. The defeat leaves Arne Slot’s side 11 points adrift of league leaders Arsenal, further fueling speculation about the Dutch manager’s future.
The scoreline marked a new low for Liverpool, equating to their worst home defeat in the Premier League era. Forest fans, meanwhile, were ecstatic, taunting Slot with chants of “You’re getting sacked in the morning!” and “We want four!” as the final whistle blew.
Despite a £600 million summer spending spree, Liverpool’s struggles continue. They’ve now lost six of their last seven Premier League matches and eight of their last 11 games across all competitions.
The absence of a clear plan B was evident as Liverpool’s players looked to Slot for direction during the game. The manager’s first substitution, Ibrahima Konate’s departure, raised eyebrows, and the team’s disjointed performance only added to the sense of desperation.
The return of Alisson Becker from injury provided a glimmer of hope, but even the goalkeeper’s presence couldn’t stem the tide. His deflection of Omari Hutchinson’s shot led to Forest’s third goal, a harsh reminder of the fine margins between success and failure in the Premier League.
As Liverpool’s woes continue, the question on everyone’s lips is: can Arne Slot turn things around, or is it time for a change?
