Liverpool’s trip to Germany on Thursday night has taken on historic significance for all the wrong reasons. Manchester United continued a rare and unwanted Liverpool losing streak Arne Slot’s side have already lost four consecutive matches in all competitions.

It’s Liverpool’s worst run since November 2014, when Brendan Rodgers oversaw four straight defeats during a turbulent period at Anfield. But if the Reds are beaten again in Frankfurt, they’ll enter territory not seen since August–September 1953, when Don Welsh’s Liverpool lost five consecutive matches in the old First Division.

These are issues Slot urgently needs to solve if he’s to avoid unwanted comparisons with Liverpool’s darker eras. Defeat in Frankfurt wouldn’t just dent Liverpool’s Champions League campaign, but it would formally equal the club’s post-war record for consecutive defeats, a statistic that would inevitably ramp up external pressure on the Dutchman.
