Pressure is mounting on Arne Slot following Liverpool's alarming slide to a sixth Premier League loss in seven matches - yet pundits believe the Dutchman remains safe from dismissal just one season after delivering the title. Doubts have emerged regarding Slot's methods, with Liverpool appearing considerably disjointed despite a £450 million ($589M) summer expenditure to overhaul its squad, though Slot has largely worked with the personnel inherited from Klopp's tenure.

"We have to give credit to Forest for what they are doing but yes, the wheels are coming off now for Arne Slot," Keown told the BBC's Final Score after the game. "Obviously, it was Jurgen Klopp's team, and he has tried to come in and make changes, but he has spent £450 million on players, and they are going backwards.

"It's remarkable what we are seeing with Liverpool. Their fall from grace and to lose this many games at the start of the season, they are eight points behind top spot, it is unthinkable really from this time last season." Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp shared comparable views on Sky Sports following Forest's triumph, also alluding to the turbulent summer endured by Slot and his squad.
