Tension continues to rise at Liverpool as pressure mounts on Arne Slot, and new reports suggest the club may be preparing for a managerial shift. According to journalist Paul Joyce, senior figures at Anfield held discussions with Slot on Thursday, signalling growing concern over the team’s recent performances.
Michael Edwards, who has returned to a position of major influence within the club’s structure, is reportedly assessing alternatives should the current situation deteriorate further. Among the options under consideration is a former Premier League manager known for an aggressive, front-foot approach to football.
The candidate is said to favour an attack-minded 4-3-3 system built around a high defensive line and constant ball pressure. His insistence on “relentless pressing” mirrors the intensity Liverpool fans were accustomed to during the club’s most successful recent period, making him an intriguing fit for a potential reset.
Behind the scenes, the discussions reflect a broader concern about the team’s lack of cohesion, inconsistency, and struggles in adapting to Slot’s approach. With supporters voicing growing frustration and points slipping away in the league, the club’s leadership is weighing whether decisive action may soon be required.
While no final decision has been made, Edwards’ proactive evaluation of alternatives indicates that Liverpool are preparing for all scenarios. The coming weeks could prove pivotal, with Slot needing to deliver a clear turnaround to retain full backing from the hierarchy.
For now, the future remains uncertain — but the possibility of a new 4-3-3 era at Anfield is becoming increasingly real.
