Curtis Jones delivers unfiltered, no-holds-barred interview after Liverpool’s 4–1 loss to PSV
Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones didn’t hold back in his assessment following the Reds’ 4-1 humbling at the hands of PSV at Anfield.
It was another disastrous showing for Liverpool, marked by a series of individual errors. Captain Virgil van Dijk gifted PSV an early penalty with a clumsy handball inside the first five minutes, which former Spurs star Ivan Perisic converted to give the visitors the lead.
For a brief moment, there was hope of a comeback. Dominik Szoboszlai, one of the few Liverpool players to show quality, struck a powerful equaliser from the edge of the box in the 16th minute.
However, that hope quickly faded. Liverpool’s defensive fragility is now a chronic issue. The second half was a catalogue of mistakes that will continue to haunt manager Arne Slot. Just ten minutes after the restart, Guus Til restored PSV’s advantage, before Couhaib Driouech capitalised on an error from Ibrahima Konate to make it 3-1 and then scored again in stoppage time to complete the 4-1 rout.
Curtis Jones did not mince words in his brutally honest verdict.
Will Arne Slot survive this latest setback?
After the defeat to Nottingham Forest, reports suggested that Slot still had the backing of Liverpool’s hierarchy, with the owners reportedly willing to give him until the New Year to turn things around.
But with each successive loss, the Dutch manager’s position looks increasingly precarious. Liverpool are enduring their worst form in decades, losing six of their last seven league matches and nine of their last 12 games across all competitions.
In their last three games, the Reds have conceded 10 goals while scoring just once, including two consecutive heavy defeats at Anfield where opponents scored three or more goals.
Some supporters are beginning to turn on Slot, despite last season’s Premier League triumph. While FSG have historically shown they are unafraid to make bold decisions, whether this latest defeat will trigger a managerial change remains uncertain.
