There was a growing feeling among Liverpool FC supporters during the international break.
Many were calling for Arne Slot to be sacked.
The performances weren’t convincing, results were slipping, and the mood around the club was turning.
The Club Chose Stability
Despite the pressure, Liverpool’s hierarchy made the decision to stand by their manager.
They backed Slot, choosing stability over change at a crucial point in the season.
At the time, it was seen by some as the right call — a chance to steady things and respond.
The “Reward”
Since then, Liverpool have:
Lost 4-0 to Manchester City Lost 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain
Two big games.
Two big defeats.
And very few positives to take.
Growing Frustration
Instead of easing the pressure, those results have only intensified it.
Fans are now asking:
Has anything improved? Are the same mistakes still happening? Was the decision to stick with Slot the right one?
Right now, it’s hard to argue that things are moving in the right direction.
A Worrying Pattern
What’s most concerning is not just the defeats — it’s how they’ve come.
Liverpool have looked:
Vulnerable defensively Lacking intensity at key moments Short of ideas going forward Unable to respond to setbacks
These are issues that have been present for weeks.
A Club At A Crossroads
Liverpool now find themselves in a difficult position.
They showed faith in their manager — but results are not justifying that decision.
The question now becomes:
👉 How long can they continue to stand by him?
Pressure Reaching Boiling Point
With every poor result, the noise grows louder.
The fanbase is frustrated.
The performances are not improving.
The big games are being lost.
And the feeling is building that something has to change.
What Happens Next?
Football moves quickly.
A few positive results can change the narrative — but right now, that feels a long way off.
Liverpool backed their manager.
But based on what’s happened since, many fans will feel that decision has not been rewarded.
