Fabrizio Romano CONFIRMS Liverpool’s decision on Arne Slot after fresh defeat — fans are stunned by what the club decided next
Liverpool’s crushing 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield has dragged the club into one of its darkest moments in recent memory. The champions have now fallen to their sixth loss in seven league games, sinking to 11th place and spiralling into a crisis that few saw coming.
A Forest side that had gone eight matches without a win exposed every flaw in a Liverpool team that once looked unstoppable. The Reds appeared disconnected, lifeless, and shaky at the back — a shadow of the relentless, high-intensity machine that powered Arne Slot to the title just last season.
Defensively, it’s the worst start Liverpool have ever recorded in the Premier League era: 20 goals conceded in 12 matches, a negative goal difference, and a collapse that has stunned supporters and analysts alike.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, speaking on YouTube, revealed that Slot’s job is not under immediate threat — but the pressure is unmistakably rising.
Romano explained:
“At this moment, I have no indication that Liverpool’s owners are preparing to make an immediate decision about Arne Slot. They are NOT considering changing the manager right now. But they do expect far better results from Slot and from the squad. The responsibility is shared — as Virgil van Dijk said — between the players and the coach.
“Yes, the situation is dangerous and complicated, but Slot still feels the backing of the club. Liverpool are not speaking with any other manager, nor are they exploring alternatives. That’s where things stand. However, results must change urgently, especially in the Premier League, where Liverpool’s position is becoming extremely worrying.”
Despite the chaos, the Liverpool hierarchy remains convinced that Slot’s long-term project can still succeed. But they want clear progress before the New Year. Failure to close the gap on the top four could force a major rethink.
For now, Liverpool sit three points behind Aston Villa in the Champions League race — hope still exists, but it’s fading fast.
With confidence shattered and key figures like Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Ibrahima Konaté stuck in poor form, Slot is now confronting the toughest challenge of his career.
Unless results improve — and fast — the Dutchman’s reign, once hailed as the beginning of a bright new era, could fall apart before the season even reaches its halfway point.
