'Sacked tonight' – Liverpool fans say the same thing about Arne Slot dismissal after 'shocking' twist

Arne Slot, Liverpool's manager, faces mounting pressure following a string of poor results, with fans clamoring for his immediate dismissal after a humiliating 4-1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League.[1]



Liverpool have endured **nine defeats and a draw in their past 14 games** across all competitions, marking a stark decline from Slot's triumphant first season where he led the team to top-flight glory.[1] The PSV loss has been described as a "breaking-point moment" within the club, amplifying concerns among hierarchy members despite Slot's claims of retaining support from sporting director Richard Hughes and FSG's Michael Edwards.[1]

Initially hailed as Jurgen Klopp's ideal successor—backed by a meticulous 60-page dossier presented during his hiring in spring 2024—Slot's Midas touch has faded.[1] Key issues include failing to replace a departing player who was "determined" to leave Anfield, leaving gaps in the squad, particularly out wide.[1] The £125 million signing of striker Alexander Isak from Newcastle has also backfired; the 26-year-old, who went on strike to force the move, has struggled with form and fitness, managing only two goals in 12 appearances.[1]

The "shocking twist" fueling fan outrage is the rapid turnaround from title winners to crisis-hit side, prompting chants of "**Sacked tonight**" from supporters. Social media erupts with unified calls for Slot's exit, questioning if he has just one week left to salvage his job.[1] While Slot remains unflappable, insiders suggest the PSV collapse has surfaced unprecedented doubts, putting his tenure on the brink.
