For the **first time under Arne Slot**, Liverpool have suffered **three straight defeats**, sending shockwaves through the fanbase and raising urgent questions about what’s going wrong at Anfield.
The slump began with a painful late collapse against **Crystal Palace**, followed by a disjointed showing in the **Champions League against Galatasaray**, and most recently, a chaotic defensive display at **Stamford Bridge against Chelsea**.
What’s even more alarming for fans is not just the results, but the manner of the defeats. A team that once looked ruthless and balanced now appears fragile, error-prone, and short of confidence when it matters most.
Pundits are pointing to multiple reasons behind the crisis:
* **Defensive inconsistency** — Ibrahima Konaté has been singled out for costly mistakes, while injuries and rotation have disrupted stability at the back.
* **Midfield imbalance** — The decision to sell Luis Díaz and put faith in Florian Wirtz is under heavy scrutiny, with many arguing the move has upset Liverpool’s attacking chemistry.
* **Lack of finishing edge** — Despite creating chances, the Reds have struggled to convert them, leaving the door open for opponents to punish them.
With Chelsea handing Liverpool their **third consecutive loss**, pressure is now piling on Slot. Fans are demanding answers, critics are questioning his selections, and rivals are sensing an opportunity to exploit Liverpool’s slump.
Is this just a temporary blip, or is Slot’s system already being exposed?
