Sunday’s loss against Manchester United was the worst of the four defeats in that it was the only one on home soil, and came against Liverpool’s most bitter rivals.The Reds were perhaps improved slightly from the team that lost to Chelsea two weeks prior, but still did not resemble an XI with a cohesive plan to beat a poor United side.Slot cut a frustrated figure throughout the game, and Man United legend Wayne Rooney believes he spotted a moment which proves the Liverpool head coach is now feeling the pressure.Photo by Carl Recine/Getty ImagesArne Slot spotted arguing with match officialsWhile obviously frustrated with another loss for his team, Slot did not appear unduly distressed after full-time on Sunday.According to Rooney, however, the Dutchman was seen arguing with match officials during the match, signalling that he may be starting to lose his cool.READ MORE: Gary Neville pinpoints surprise aspect of Mohamed Salah’s Liverpool decline“They’ve got a bit complacent,” the former striker told The Wayne Rooney show.“For Arne Slot, you forget because he won the Premier League, but he’s still quite young – 46 years of age [Slot is 47] and this was the first time he’s lost four in a row in his career.”“[Against Manchester United] he was arguing with the officials on the touchline, I haven’t seen that before from him.“We’re starting to see things unfold which shows that there’s pressure there.”Wayne Rooney is talking nonsense about SlotIf Rooney believes this is the first time Slot has been arguing with referees since he joined Liverpool then he has not been paying close attention.The former Feyenoord manager is as calm as it is possible to be for a Premier League head coach, but he has still had his moments of pure frustration aimed towards the match officials.Slot has been banned previously having accumulated yellow cards and was even given a straight red following his behaviour at Goodison Park last season.On Sunday, Slot also had every right to be upset with officiating, after referee Michael Oliver failed to stop play before United’s opener while Alexis Mac Allister was down with a head injury.Things are not pretty at Liverpool just now, but to suggest this is a sign of the wheels beginning to come off is pure nonsense from Rooney.
