Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is under increasing pressure after their latest defeat. The January transfer window is just over a month away and Liverpool have continuously been linked with players from around the world.



Liverpool are said to be admirers of his services and could target him in January but reports suggest there is a deadline to sign the 25-year-old for the discounted price.Stephen Killen"A lot of the players have to look in the mirror"Danny Murphy has warned that Arne Slot will be sacked if he doesn't make changes.The former Liverpool midfielder criticised the current squad after their dour display against Forest.He told Match of the Day:"A lot of the players have to look in the mirror because out of last season's players, I'd say only [Dominik] Szoboszlai, [Ryan] Gravenberch, maybe [Andy] Robertson, when he's come in, have even got near to the levels of last season and that's not good enough."Okay, there's lots of different reasons and theories, but a lot of it's mentality, you know, because you've won something and maybe the comfort zone a little bit because physically they're not at it."And only one of their new four or five top signings, Ekitike, has done well. He's got to make some huge decisions and that means leaving some big players out because back to basics is key."Defending better, working harder, being more physical, doing the hard yards — it sounds very basic stuff — but he's got to pick his most physical 11 who he thinks are going to defend the best for him and start getting some points on the board, because if you keep losing games, he won't be in a job."Alexis Mac Allister, Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch of Liverpool look dejected during the Premier League match against Nottingham Forest at Anfield on November 22 2025 (Image: Molly Darlington/Getty Images)Stephen KillenArne Slot: "It was very bad"It was a turgid day at Anfield on Saturday as Liverpool were well beaten by Nottingham Forest.In the last 10 years or so, it's rare you can say that but Arne Slot is facing immense scrutiny with the social media pressure echoing loudly.Speaking after the defeat, the Dutchman said:How bad [the result is], that is difficult to measure, but it was very bad of course.

The first time they arrived in our box, they scored a goal and it's a very difficult cocktail to drink, or to have, if you miss out on your own chances and almost every time you concede one, the ball goes in.Liverpool head coach Arne Slot.
