Liverpool is enduring one of its toughest stretches since Arne Slot took charge, with six defeats in their last seven matches and a recent Carabao Cup elimination at the hands of Crystal Palace. However, despite the poor run of results, the English club remains fully confident in the Dutch manager, ruling out any possibility of dismissal in the short term.

Liverpool Keeps Its Cool and Backs Slot

Unlike many clubs that react rashly to bad form, Liverpool’s board has chosen stability. According to reports from BBC Sport and journalist Fabrizio Romano, the “Reds” leadership has full faith that Arne Slot will turn things around. “The club is one hundred percent convinced Slot is the right man to lead them through this period,” Romano stated.

The coach, who guided Liverpool to the Premier League title in his debut season after succeeding Jürgen Klopp, is now facing his first major test at Anfield. Recent defeats in both league and cup have sparked concern among fans, but calm prevails within the club. “There is absolutely no chance he will lose his job right now. Liverpool is not a club that panics,” said BBC Sport analyst Phil McNulty.

Club executives recognize that the summer marked a period of transition, with several new signings and adjustments to the squad. The team is still struggling to find balance and consistency, and some arrivals—such as Hugo Ekitike—have yet to meet expectations.

Upcoming Tests: Real Madrid and Manchester City

The schedule gives no respite for the English side. After a painful 3-2 loss to Brentford, Slot himself described the match as “the worst performance of the season.” Now, Liverpool faces a daunting run of fixtures: first at home against Aston Villa and Real Madrid, followed by a visit to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

For the Dutch manager, these games could prove decisive. A quick turnaround would restore confidence both in the dressing room and among supporters. However, if the poor form stretches into December, pressure will inevitably begin to mount.

Even so, institutional support remains solid. The club’s owners value Slot’s structural work, his commitment to attacking football, and his focus on developing young talent. As McNulty put it, “What he needs now is for his established stars and new signings to start performing.”

For now, Liverpool stands by its manager. In an era where many clubs choose impatience, the “Reds” are opting for coherence and conviction in a project that—despite the turbulence—still has a clear direction.
