Week in, week out, Arne Slot is showing zero signs he has the ability to steady the ship and get Liverpool playing anywhere close to an acceptable level.The latest harrowing showing came against old rivals Manchester City, with whom the Reds were once able to go toe-to-toe in most matches.However, the Sky Blues have won all three meetings this season, and after watching Saturday’s FA Cup loss, Jermaine Pennant has called Liverpool ’embarrassing’ and pointed out that Slot has done nothing to suggest he can turn things around. Who was Liverpool’s worst player during the abysmal defeat against Man City?
Some PATHETIC displays 😡 Photo by Shaun Brooks – CameraSport via Getty Images Jermaine Pennant questions Liverpool’s ability to improve under Arne SlotWriting on X/Twitter on April 4, the former Reds winger stated: “4-0 down before 60 mins is embarrassing, doesn’t matter who Liverpool are playing. “How can you watch that, and go next season, yeah, we are going to be better, when at no point this season have we seen it.”Pennant is, unfortunately, 100% right in his verdict.
Earlier this season, during a run of nine defeats in 12, there was an acceptance that Slot had a lot of issues to deal with, including still trying to get his summer signings up to speed.But we are now in April, and there are just seven games of the Premier League season left to play.Yet, rather than showing signs of progress, Liverpool are regressing under Slot and have already lost 10 league games this term, which is their joint-most since 2015/16.They are out of the FA Cup, and does anyone really think that, after watching the Man City game, they can now go on and beat PSG over two legs, then see off one of Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals?The worst part about this season is that results are not even the biggest issue. We saw during a couple of difficult campaigns under Jurgen Klopp that good football and signs of improvement are all that is needed to keep most fans happy.However, rather than giving hope that Liverpool will become a competitive force once again in 2026/27, all Slot is doing is making supporters completely disinterested in seeing their club in action every week.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
