Liverpool’s 3-0 Premier League defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday at Anfield have seen the future of Arne Slot at the club under spotlight.
The Reds suffered their sixth loss in seven Premier League matches and fans are beginning to question Slots’ tactics and game management.
However, despite the outburst from fans on and off social media, the Reds currently have no intention of sacking Slot, according to Fabrizio Romano. The transfer guru offered an update on the situation on YouTube.

He said: “What’s going on with Arne Slot? Guys, at the moment I have no information that the Liverpool owners are thinking of making an immediate decision about Arne Slot. So Liverpool are NOT thinking of changing the manager right now. Of course, they – the owners, the club – want to see different results, they expect a lot more from Arne Slot and his team. Surely Liverpool expect to see something different from both the manager and the players, because it’s not just Arne Slot.
The players also have to take responsibility, as Virgil van Dijk said, so it’s like the players and the manager.
“Arne Slot knows that the situation is dangerous, complicated, but at the same time he feels the support and trust of the club. Liverpool are NOT in talks with any other manager and are not even considering the possibility of sacking the manager. This is the current situation. Of course, the results have to change, and quickly, both in the Champions League and in the Premier League, especially in the Premier League, because Liverpool are really in a complicated situation. This is the feeling today.”
Slot spent heavily in the summer to rebuild his squad, with Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerez and Giovanni Leoni arriving.
Liverpool will turn their attentions back to the Champions League next and a visit from PSV. The Reds have been in better form in Europe, beating Real Madrid last time out and starting the campaign with three wins from four.
Anything other than a victory against PSV, will pile more pressure on Slot ahead of a Premier League fixture against West Ham on Sunday.
