Liverpool boss Arne Slot has come under scrutiny after the Reds were beaten 3-0 by Manchester City on Sunday evening to leave them well adrift in the title raceArne Slot has been told Liverpool are unlikely to make any hasty decisions regarding his future despite his team's concerning dip in form. However, Liverpool's substantial summer transfer window expenditure of over £400million has drawn intense scrutiny given the club's current form.While acknowledging the pressure Slot is under and the disappointing return on investment so far, former Manchester United and Wrexham goalkeeper Ben Foster believes Liverpool will exercise patience with the Dutchman.Speaking on his Fozcast podcast, he said: "They're in a really bad pickle at the minute where confidence is super low.



I just think that mentally, they've approached the game where they know that they're not as good as Man City and they've let them dominate."I think he [Slot] is under pressure because you have to be under pressure if you've won the Premier League and you've spent the money that he spent. They've got wor‎ld class players and they should start finding their feet."Whilst Foster remains optimistic that Slot can turn around Liverpool's poor start to the campaign, former United skipper Roy Keane holds a different view entirely.

They know they can be beaten at Man City, we know it's a tough place to come and Man City are showing signs at being back to their very best. They've got that quality and they can still cause teams problems.
