Liverpool is in a full-blown crisis after a 3-0 defeat by Nottingham Forest at Anfield, with head coach Arne Slot under increasing pressure. The loss was Liverpool's sixth in seven games and their worst home result against a non-champions league opponent since April 1965.
The team's performance was described as "poor" by Slot, who acknowledged that playing at home, losing to any team is a bad result. Despite the efforts of some key players, including Mohamed Salah, Liverpool were unable to create enough chances and conceded several goals from set pieces, which has become a major problem for the manager.
Former Arsenal and England defender Martin Keown said that the team's performance was "brutal" and that Slot is now under serious pressure to turn the tide. The Dutch coach who showed such a sure touch last season is suddenly floundering, and his job may be in danger if he fails to find a solution.
The loss has left Liverpool 11th in the Premier League table, eight points behind leaders Arsenal, who have a game in hand. It's now a fight to make sure they finish in the Champions League places, which is a significant decline from their expected standards after spending Β£450m on players.
The team's frailties were on show, and many fans turned off early, as Liverpool struggled against Nottingham Forest, who deservedly won 3-0. The defeat has put further pressure on Slot and his coaching staff to deliver results and bring back the glory days of the Reds.
