The Reds lost 4-1 at home to PSV yesterday <\/p>\n
Liverpool\u2019s awful run of form reached a new low last night as they fell behind 4-1 at home to Dutch outfit PSV Eindhoven. <\/p>\n
It was the Reds\u2019 third consecutive loss by a margin of three or more goals and their ninth defeat in the last 12 matches. <\/p>\n

As a result, the pressure on Liverpool manager Arne Slot is now immense. <\/p>\n
Despite winning the title last season, the Dutch manager currently appears incapable of dragging the Reds out of their current slump. <\/p>\n
Following last night\u2019s loss, Liverpool have dropped out of the automatic Champions League qualification spots. <\/p>\n
Their Premier League position is even worse, with the Reds currently 12th in the table, a place below local rivals Everton. <\/p>\n
In terms of the next manager sacked market, Daniel Farke is far-and-away favourite, with Leeds suffering five defeats in six.<\/p>\n
But Slot is next in line, and the majority of betting over the last 24 hours up to Thursday morning was with the Dutchman to be next to go.

The prospect of Slot being replaced from his position as manager was discussed by Liverpool legends Steven Gerrard and Steve McManaman after full-time.<\/p>\n
McManaman made clear that even in light of Liverpool\u2019s current position it is \u201ctoo early\u201d to consider sacking the Dutchman. <\/p>\n
Speaking on TNT Sports, the former Liverpool and Real Madrid star said: \u201cI think no. I think it\u2019s far too early, what he\u2019s achieved and where he is now this year, that\u2019s a good run of fixtures. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand the question completely but with that run of fixtures, Liverpool still fighting in the Champions League, it\u2019s far too early to come up with a question like that. They will have to be knocked out of the Champions League and wallowing at the bottom of the league.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think they play Arsenal second week in Jan, that\u2019s when the question should be asked. Hopefully they\u2019ll have climbed the table. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou have to give him time for the signings, who have constantly been injured, they\u2019re ones you\u2019d expect to come in and lift the team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gerrard was in agreement, adding: \u201cThat\u2019s the world we live in, that\u2019s football in the modern day. I\u2019ve been in that position myself.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou understand that if you\u2019re not getting the results, there is going to be serious questions asked, stewards inquiry, that comes with the territory especially at the top end.<\/p>\n
\u201cI agree Macca, from me and you because we lived through it and suffered. I\u2019ve been both sides. It\u2019s going to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Liverpool will need to secure all three points when they face West ham on Saturday in order to alleviate any pressure on Slot. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Reds lost 4-1 at home to PSV yesterday Liverpool\u2019s awful run of form reached a new low…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162671,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":{"0":"post-162670","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162671"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
