Arne Slot has failed to turn things around at Liverpool in what is proving to be something of a disastrous season.The Premier League title defence ended long ago, the Reds are out of all cup competitions, and they still might not even get Champions League football next term if they keep their current Premier League form up.Yet, Micah Richards is still of the opinion that Slot has credit in the bank, and the team needs time to settle.

You’ve lost a couple of players.“And I know everyone’s sort of, I don’t want to say in panic mode, but just give the team a little bit of time to settle.”It is hard to see many Liverpool fans agreeing with Richards’ view, given that the reasons aren’t really enough to save Slot.Yes, the Reds have had injury problems this season, but which team hasn’t? There are six games of the season left to play.And despite what Slot might say in the media, Liverpool look worse now than they did at the start of 2025/26 when the new signings were still actually settling into the squad.The problem isn’t injuries or new signings adapting.
