Liverpool manager Arne Slot is under a lot of pressure after a disappointing run of form in the Premier League.
Liverpool were expected to defend the Premier League title this season after spending a substantial amount of money during the summer transfer window. However, things have not gone according to plan, and Arne Slot has failed to get the best out of his players, thus rightly attracting scrutiny for his performance and comments.
Liverpool are currently fighting to secure European football for next season, and there has been speculation about the Dutchman’s future. According to a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, the manager could be shown the door at the end of the season unless he manages to win the UEFA Champions League or the FA Cup.
Arne Slot has already been issued the ultimatum by the club hierarchy, and it will be interesting to see if he can help Liverpool win a trophy. It is no surprise that the Reds are demanding a trophy this season. The Merseyside outfit have spent half a billion on new players, and they should be competing at the highest level.
Liverpool have been quite poor in the Premier League, and a top-four finish could be difficult given their current form. It remains to be seen whether they can do well in the cup competitions. They have made it to the knockout rounds of the UEFA Champions League. Their performances in Europe have been considerably better than in the Premier League. It will be interesting to see if they can go all the way.
Can Liverpool win a major trophy?
Even though Liverpool won the Premier League title last season, they cannot afford to finish trophyless. Also, winning the UEFA Champions League would ensure their participation in the competition next season. Without Champions League revenue, it would be hard for Liverpool to improve the squad in the summer.
The Merseyside outfit have already spent a lot of money at the start of this season, and they need to balance the books. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. They have the players to win a trophy this season, and it remains to be seen whether Slot can get the best out of his team.
