Whether it’s a crisis I don’t know, it’s certainly a major problem for the manager to go six defeats from seven.

Unthinkable.’ However, Keown doesn’t believe Slot is in danger of the sack, having won enough goodwill to keep his job for now. ‘I don’t think you can win the league one year and get sacked the next,’ he added. ‘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.’ It is not unheard of for a manager to win the league one season and get sacked the next however, with Claudio Ranieri in 2017 the most recent casualty, losing his job just months after miraculously guiding Leicester City to the title.
