Arne Slot has just made his most ridiculous excuse yet

Arne Slot has just made his most ridiculous excuse yet Arne Slot has just tried to claim the most ridiculous thing he's ever claimed. Liverpool have been shambles all season and the club's head-coach has been responsible for a lot of the shortcomings at Anfield. Slot has been unable to inspire his team, and he's been on a barren run.

Liverpool have won just nine of their last 26 matches in the Premier League - enduring 10 defeats in the process. If it wasn't for somehow cruising their way through the first five matches of the campaign, where they won every single game, Liverpool could be in a terrible position right now. Alas, because of that positive start, Slot's side still have a chance of qualifying for the Champions League but not if they continue to perform in the way they have been performing all season - especially not in the way they performed against Manchester City on Saturday in the FA Cup.

If the current form persists, it's hard to envisage a world in which Liverpool finish in the top five in the Premier League. Losing to Wolverhampton, drawing to a Tottenham side going through their worst spell of the season, and then losing to Brighton before being annihilated by Manchester City was indicative of why Liverpool have a genuine chance of missing out on Europe's elite competition. The problem with Liverpool has been the fact that Slot has simply denied there has been any problems at all.

He's acting calm and for a manager who is supposed to be known for his brutal honesty, it doesn't really come across that he is being entirely honest. For someone who has worked in the game so long, he definitely should be able to pinpoint Liverpool's problems rather than cast the blame on others. If he isn't able to pinpoint those issues, which is becoming apparent, the issue becomes far larger.
