Their 2-0 lead over Bournemouth was pegged back in just over 10 minutes before they went on to snatch victory, two injury-time winners saved the Reds against Newcastle and Burnley, and the late 1-0 win against Arsenal was the club’s only clean sheet in that run.The important thing for Slot is that, despite the sketchy displays, his team were consistently getting three points - something they aren’t doing now.READ MORE: Wirtz, Bradley, Frimpong - Liverpool injury latest and potential return datesREAD MORE: Wayne Rooney points out major Virgil van Dijk concern after Liverpool suffer 3-0 lossLiverpool have won just one of their last seven league games and have now suffered back-to-back 3-0 losses.With the club far from where they want to be in the table, rumours have begun to swirl online regarding Slot’s job security. But ex-Manchester United defender and Sky Sports pundit Neville believes the manager's immediate future is not under threat yet.He said on The Gary Neville Podcast: “There’s no way that Arne Slot should be in danger or losing his job.



I’ve heard murmurs; you go on social media and all that nonsense, forget that."Some Liverpool fans will say, ‘Don’t talk about my football club like that’, but come on, let’s have some sense here. He’s got real class.“For me, he’s having a really bad time.

He’s just signed £450million worth of players and he’s got to try and settle them in.“Those players who have come into the club have got to step up and prove they can deliver, and the players who have been there a long time — the leaders, captains and experienced players — have to provide stability in the dressing room so the new players don’t feel like they’re taking all the pressure themselves.”Liverpool had 74% possession against Forest on Saturday. Combined with the Reds’ 21 shots to Forest’s 15 and the fact they made over 400 more passes than Sean Dyche’s side, it’s no wonder Slot thought his team were the more dominant.
