JAMIE CARRAGHER ANALYSIS: SLOT'S JOB NEARS 'UNTENABLE' AFTER 9 IN 12 DEFEATS
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher claims manager Arne Slot has just three games—against West Ham, Sunderland & Leeds—to save his job after a run of nine defeats in 12 matches.
Jamie Carragher, an Anfield icon, thinks Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, has just one week to keep his job. According to Carragher, if the team doesn't do well in their next three games, Slot could be in a tough spot.
After Liverpool's defeat to PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday, which marked their ninth loss in 12 games, Slot is under pressure. The team has lost their last three games by at least three goals each. While sources say Slot's job is safe for now, things could change quickly if Liverpool's poor performance continues. They're set to play West Ham this weekend.
Carragher stated plainly in The Telegraph that the upcoming games against West Ham, Sunderland, and Leeds will be critical for Slot's future.
He wrote, Arne Slot has a week to save his job. It's hard to believe I'm writing that, but Liverpool's next three games are against West Ham United, Sunderland, and Leeds United. Getting less than seven points would make an already bad situation worse.
No matter how well-liked the manager is, Liverpool can't keep accepting the lower standards we've seen in the last three months.
I know better than anyone how much this hurts everyone connected to the club. Liverpool doesn't usually fire managers, especially ones who have brought success.
Carragher added, "He couldn't have asked for a better set of games to win back trust and save his job," speaking of the opponents. But if things get worse and the manager can't find solutions, the club will need to find someone who can.
Carragher thinks Slot is barely holding on and that Liverpool's form at the end of last season, including their loss to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup Final, should have been a warning.
Carragher questions the style Slot is trying to bring to the team, but also points to Liverpool's management. He mentioned that 'signing two expensive No. 9s was a mistake in the summer' and brought up the roles of Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes.
Carragher said, Since the beginning of this season, Slot has seemed determined to move the team in a direction that doesn't align with Liverpool's winning history. It felt wrong from day one, and it has created a mess now.
People will also question those above Slot. We shouldn't rewrite history. When Klopp left, Fenway Sports Group's top priority was to hire Michael Edwards. He brought in Richard Hughes as sporting director, then Slot came, and they won the Premier League. It was an amazing achievement in their first year.
Some might dismiss that first season as Klopp's team. I disagree. The team would have improved and might have won the title under Klopp—we'll never know—but Slot used tactics that his predecessor never would, like using Ryan Gravenberch as a No. 6 and Luis Diaz as a No. 9. He helped Mohammed Salah have the best season of his life. Before Slot arrived, people were suggesting selling the Egyptian star.
But it's unbelievable that Liverpool has since spent £450m to create a team that's unbalanced, with not enough cover on the wings and at centre-back. After selling Diaz, Liverpool entered this season without real competition for Salah and Cody Gakpo. It's easy to suggest leaving one or both out, but who would replace them?
CONOR GALLAGHER CONFIRMED AS "VITAL" STARTER FOR SPURS FOLLOWING BENTANCUR’S INJURY LAYOFF
Conor Gallagher proved the doubters wrong against Man City. Discover why his €40m move to Tottenham is finally paying off for Spurs.

Chelsea and Atletico Madrid both decided Conor Gallagher wasn’t worth the trouble. At Chelsea, he had his moments—Pochettino liked him, but the fans never really warmed up. When Chelsea shipped him off to Atletico, it made sense. Enzo Fernandez stepped up, took over Gallagher’s role, and fit in perfectly next to Caicedo, with Cole Palmer adding that extra spark up front.
Things didn’t get much better for Gallagher in Spain. He barely got a chance at Atleti, lost his spot in the starting eleven, and pretty much ended up on the transfer list before anyone had time to blink. Interest was lukewarm at best until the winter window rolled around. Aston Villa wanted him and went after him pretty aggressively, but then Tottenham swooped in late. Spurs needed someone to patch up the midfield after Bentancur’s injury, so they just paid up—40 million euros, no hesitation.
His start at Tottenham? Rough. Honestly, that was to be expected. He’d played well at Palace before, but after his struggles at Atleti, he needed time to adjust. Sitting on the bench in Spain didn’t do him any favours.
Then Gallagher showed up. People doubted whether he could really add creativity and move the ball forward for Spurs, so his early struggles got people worried. But then came the 2-2 draw against Manchester City. He suddenly looked like the player both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank were so desperate to sign.
Against City, Gallagher flipped the script. He set up a crucial assist, drove play forward on the dribble, and kept drawing fouls—everything the Spurs needed. Defensively, he was all over the place in a good way: two tackles, three interceptions, a full 90 minutes, and a huge part of the Spurs clawing their way back into the game.
Tottenham fans loved it. They saw the effort, the attitude, and the hunger to win. Gallagher just wouldn’t quit, and in that second half, he, Xavi Simons, Pape Matar Sarr, Destiny Udogie, and Dominic Solanke ran the show. Four of those guys have been carrying Spurs lately, so Gallagher is fitting right in with them. That’s a pretty good sign he’s going to work out just fine in North London.
