Liverpool boss Arne Slot is confusing some of his senior players with his tactics and anything but a win against Leeds will see an \u2019emergency meeting\u2019 called over his future, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Another poor display, by Liverpool<\/a>\u2018s standards, saw Slot\u2019s side go behind to Sunderland on Wednesday night with the Black Cats taking the lead through a deflected strike from\u00a0Chemsdine Talbi.<\/p>\n Liverpool did get an equaliser nine minutes from time when a great bit of work from Florian Wirtz saw his shot deflect into the net for a Nordi Mukiele own goal.<\/p>\n The Reds have only won four matches in their last 14 in all competitions with Liverpool\u00a0eighth in the Premier League<\/a> and getting further away from leaders Arsenal.<\/p>\n It seems unlikely that the Liverpool hierarchy will now be expecting Slot to galvanise this set of players for a title challenge \u2013 but Champions League qualification will be a must for the club\u2019s finances.<\/p>\n And a reliable account of X made up of \u2018five elite reporters\u2019 and 686k followers insists that the Leeds match is \u2018crucial\u2019 for Slot\u2019s continuation as another \u2019emergency meeting\u2019 will be called if Liverpool lose on Saturday.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Top 10 transfer flops of the season: Liverpool trio shamed as Premier League clubs waste \u00a3500m<\/a><\/p>\n The account wrote<\/a>: \u2018Exclusive. Emergency meeting. Senior players confused. We were at Anfield tonight, and we got some insider info from a trusted @LFC source.<\/p>\n \u2018It turns out that Arne Slot was informed in an emergency meeting last week that his job is on the line due to the team\u2019s poor performances.<\/p>\n \u2018If Liverpool doesn\u2019t secure a win against Leeds United, another emergency meeting is set for Sunday\/Monday morning. What\u2019s really concerning is that some senior players are feeling confused about the manager\u2019s tactics, which seem to change daily.<\/p>\n \u2018This lack of clarity is affecting the team\u2019s morale and performance on the pitch. Fans are anxious, and it\u2019s clear that the pressure is mounting. The next few days are crucial for Slot and the club.\u2019<\/p>\n MORE LIVERPOOL COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 When asked if he was pleased or frustrated with Liverpool\u2019s performance against Sunderland, Slot told a post-match press conference: \u201cA bit of both. So, I knew before the game, when you play Sunderland, from the 14 games they have played now they have only conceded four times more than one goal, and in these four games they\u2019ve only conceded two.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, it\u2019s a hard team to score against, it\u2019s a hard team to create your chances against, because they either go really aggressive in a high press or they have 11 players \u2013 10 outfield players and a goalkeeper \u2013 who defend their box with their lives.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s so difficult to create. So, in that aspect, I was hoping for more \u2013 although I knew how difficult it is to create against them.<\/p>\n \u201cAgain, we\u2019ve hardly conceded. The first big chance of them \u2013 I don\u2019t count the shot that hit the bar because that was not a chance \u2013 but the first serious chance was from a set-piece [and a header] that hit the post.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd then their goal is, in my opinion, not even a chance. If that is a chance, we\u2019ve probably had 20 chances tonight. But, unfortunately, a deflection led to going 1-0 down. Then, recently in our games we\u2019ve found it really hard to get the equaliser, although we had our chances every time.<\/p>\n \u201cToday, we had a little bit of luck with scoring the 1-1 because that was also a deflection. For me, different, because that\u2019s a shot from eight, nine, 10 yards, so that\u2019s at least a serious chance. Where a shot from 20 yards isn\u2019t a serious chance \u2013 an opportunity but not a serious chance. So, a bit of both.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool boss Arne Slot is confusing some of his senior players with his tactics and anything but a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[1969,218,348,708,50,221,101,56,1955,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-298451","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-arne-slot","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-home-page","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-premier-league","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-uncategorized","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
