Liverpool's Champions League campaign has hit rock bottom with a 4-1 thrashing at home to PSV, their seventh consecutive defeat in all competitions. The Reds had been on a remarkable run of seven wins at the start of the season, but their form has rapidly deteriorated. Arne Slot is under intense pressure as his team struggles to find stability and answers to end this losing streak.
The Dutch manager's summer signings have failed to make an impact, with only Alexander Isak scoring once in over 20 games. The lack of fight and energy from his players has left many questioning whether he is still the right man for the job. "At the moment things are not clicking and it all feels very difficult," said former Liverpool full-back Stephen Warnock.
The PSV defeat was a humiliating blow to Liverpool, their second loss at Anfield in 26 knockout stage games. The Reds have never been so far off top eight before this season. Despite Slot's assurances that he is focused on turning things around and not worried about his future at the club, concerns are growing that it may be too late.
The biggest challenge ahead of Liverpool now is a trip to West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday, a game they must win to stay in contention for a top-eight spot. "Every single Liverpool player needs to go back to basics because every single player is having a tough time," said Warnock. The impact of Diogo Jota's death in July cannot be ignored, but Slot says there are no excuses for the team's poor form.
The bigger picture here is that this crisis has been building up for some time, with Liverpool struggling to cope with new signings and a lack of cohesion on the pitch. It remains to be seen whether Slot can find answers and stability before it becomes a season to forget.

I'm lovin' how much pressure is on Arne Slot now 
his summer signings just ain't workin' out like he thought they would 
you gotta wonder if he's the right guy for the job anymore 
it's not all about him, but Liverpool's form has been shittin' lately and it's hard to see a way out of this mess 
the PSV defeat was a whoppin' 4-1 thrash at home, can you believe that? 
every single player needs to go back to basics like Warnock said 
but with all the new signings comin' in and no cohesion on the pitch, it's gonna be a long road to recovery 
7 losses in a row? I think they need a complete overhaul, not just a manager change. What's with all these summer signings that aren't panning out? It's like they raided the scrapyard for players 
. And don't even get me started on Slot... how long has he been struggling to find stability and answers? 
. Fingers crossed they can turn this around, or it could be a long season ahead 
I mean, 7 losses in a row? That's like a whole different team out there on the pitch... PSV just roasted them 
And I feel for Arne Slot, he came in with high expectations and now everyone's questioning his future 
. What was he thinking bringing in those summer signings tho? Did anyone do their research? Alexander Isak's only scored once in like 20 games 
Arne Slot needs to get his squad together, stat! 
Top 8 is within reach, but it's slipping away fast... 
Did someone say "back to basics"? 
Time to get back to the drawing board, Reds! 
Same feeling now, but with Arne Slot in charge. It's like they're stuck on repeat and can't seem to break free from this losing streak 
. Arne Slot needs to step up his game and figure out what's going on with these new signings 
I'm gettin' really worried about Liverpool's season right now... they're just not lookin' like the same team that was winnin' games left and right at the start of the year 
. And now they've gotta face West Ham, which could be a real baptism by fire 
. The thing that hurts me most is that those new signings he brought in have been a total bust 
. It's like, what did he do wrong?! 
. And yeah, I know what you mean about Diogo Jota's passing – it can't be easy for the team without him 
️
. They've been relying too much on their individual talents and not enough on teamwork and communication. It's like they're trying to force things to happen rather than letting the game unfold naturally 
.
. The fans are starting to lose hope, but I think they deserve better 
. His death hit everyone in the football world so hard 
. But you can't let that be an excuse for poor form 
.
on the pitch. 7 losses in a row? That's just insane! And it's not just about the form, it's about the energy and the fight that these players are supposed to be bringing. I feel for the fans, too - we've been loyal for so long and we deserve better than this. We need some real answers from Slot ASAP or else... 
but lfc fans need 2 stay patient & not lose hope just yet...they gotta believe in slot & the team 2 turn things around 
. Arne Slot needs to take a hard look at his tactics and squad dynamic, 'cause the lack of fight from his players is just embarrassing 
. And yeah, Diogo Jota's passing has left a void that can't be filled easily... but come on, it's been long enough since he passed away 
their manager arne slot needs to get creative with the squad and make some serious changes ASAP 
but they gotta try to turn it around, or else its gonna be a long season 
This season has just gotten so cringeworthy for Liverpool. They were doing so great at the start, but now they're just getting smashed all over the place. Arne Slot needs to shake things up, like ASAP
