Slot Confident in Avoiding Sack After Heavy PSV Defeat

Dutch coach Arne Slot is confident he will avoid the sack, despite his Liverpool team's heavy 1-4 defeat to Dutch PSV in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. This defeat marks Liverpool's ninth loss in their last 12 matches across all competitions, putting the team under increasing pressure. PSV ruthlessly exposed Liverpool's flaws in a match that angered fans, who booed Slot and his players at the final whistle. Furthermore, the empty red seats at Anfield, long before the match ended, highlighted the scale of this season's collapse. Liverpool have lost three consecutive games, conceding 10 goals. This is the team's worst losing streak since the 1953-54 season. Slot now faces sharp questions about his ability to turn the situation around. Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard increased the pressure on Slot with scathing remarks, telling TNT Sports: "With every defeat, we get closer to a crisis. There are no excuses for a performance like this at this club. You can't deny that the team is suffering badly." The former Al-Ittifaq coach added: "Confidence is at an all-time low, and the defense is wide open. If the manager doesn't find solutions and stability, the situation will continue."
