Football fans have notoriously short memories, and we're seeing the latest example of that right now amid Arne Slot's struggles during his second season in charge of Liverpool. The Reds have lost six of their last seven games, and social media is awash with supporters calling for the Dutchman to be fired.



Aston Villa, which is the visitor, is the most in-form team in the league over the last five games, so a win would be the perfect tonic for Slot. If Liverpool doesn't win, though, and Villa emerges with all three points to condemn the Reds to a fifth defeat in six league games, it will still not represent Liverpool's worst Premier League run this decade.

Liverpool's squad back then was perhaps not as strong as it is now, but there were not many calls for Jurgen Klopp to lose his job as there are for Slot at the moment.
