Are things actually getting worse at Liverpool under Arne Slot? Things are not going well at Liverpool right now, and Arne Slot is facing some serious pressure. The Dutchman won the Premier League at the first time of asking, becoming one of five men ever to complete this feat, but his second season has not gone to plan at all.
After a strong start to the campaign, the Reds suffered an almost complete collapse and found themselves out of the title race by Christmas. Despite putting up one of the worst runs of form in the club’s history throughout the autumn, things could now be at their worst for Slot’s side. Liverpool’s mid-season resurgence Despite winning eight of their first ten matches this season, Liverpool managed to put together the worst run of form the club has seen in over 70 years between September and November, losing nine in a 12-match run.
Following an embarrassing 4-1 home defeat to PSV in the Champions League, Slot did manage to recover slightly heading into the Christmas period, leading the Reds on a 13-game unbeaten run before their 3-2 away loss to Bournemouth on 24 January. That unbeaten record is deceiving though, Slot’s side drew six of those games. Liverpool followed up the disappointing loss to Bournemouth with impressive 6-0 and 4-1 wins over Qarabag and Newcastle respectively and put together a decent run of results in February, winning four and losing once, despite poor performances.
The start of March marked a turning point for the Reds though, and the team have been moving backwards since then. Are things the worst they’ve been under Slot? March started with an appalling 2-1 defeat to bottom of the league Wolves.
