Under fire for Liverpool's alarming run, Arne Slot faces mounting scrutiny after a 4-1 Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday. Liverpool has now tallied nine losses in their past twelve matches, a dire milestone not seen in over 70 years.

Slot, the beleaguered manager, acknowledged the speculation surrounding his future, noting the team's unprecedented losing spell was bound to spark debate. "When a team performs like this, people talk," Slot conceded.

The defeat underscores critical defensive lapses, typified by errors from seasoned players like Virgil van Dijk. Compounding Slot's dilemma is the mounting injury list, with striker Hugo Ekitike and goalkeeper Alisson Becker sidelined.
