Liverpool’s struggles in the Premier League continued as they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday, marking their seventh loss in ten matches.
Renowned transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has shared fresh insight into the future of manager Arne Slot following the disappointing result at the Etihad Stadium.
Despite impressive victories over Aston Villa and Real Madrid at Anfield, Liverpool were comprehensively outplayed by City in what was Pep Guardiola’s 1,000th career managerial match. The defeat underscores a challenging period for Liverpool in domestic competition. While recent performances had offered glimpses of hope, Sunday’s loss highlighted the team’s ongoing struggles. Notably, Liverpool has now already recorded more league defeats this season than in the entirety of last season, despite significant investment in the summer transfer window.
Romano reports that Liverpool’s leadership continues to stand firmly behind Arne Slot. The club remains confident in the Dutch manager’s ability to guide the team through this difficult spell and has not engaged in discussions with representatives of other managerial candidates, emphasizing their trust in Slot’s long-term vision.
Looking ahead, Liverpool will return to Premier League action against Nottingham Forest at Anfield on 22 November, followed by a Champions League encounter with PSV Eindhoven, before traveling to face West Ham United on 30 November.
Slot, who signed a three-year deal in 2024, led Liverpool to the Premier League title in his debut season, reinforcing the board’s belief in his capability to steer the club forward
