UNDER PRESSURE: ARNE SLOT BREAKS SILENCE ON SACK RUMOURS
Is Arne Slot's job safe after Liverpool's disastrous 4-1 loss to PSV? Legends Gerrard & McManaman weigh in on his future.

Liverpool got hammered 4-1 at home by PSV yesterday, hitting a new low in their terrible run.
That's three straight losses by three or more goals and nine defeats in the last 12 games for the Reds.
With those results, the heat is on Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot. Some people are starting to think he might get sacked soon.
After last night's loss, Liverpool is no longer in a Champions League qualifying spot.
It's even worse in the Premier League, where they're sitting in 12th place, just behind Everton.
From the outside, it seems like Slot can't pull his team out of this mess.
Even after leading the team to a surprise Premier League title last season, Liverpool is now on its worst run in 70+ years with Slot at the helm.
The Reds haven't lost nine out of twelve since 1953, way back when Winston Churchill was Prime Minister.
Despite the odds, Slot seemed sure of himself and his job when he spoke to the press after the game.
Arne Slot said, “This is a shock for everyone, the players, and me. It was unexpected.
“I feel safe, though. I am okay.
“It would be great to turn things around and win, but if you're a coach and not doing well, it's normal for people to ask questions.
“If any manager around the world loses as many games as we have, people will have opinions. Whether it's fair or unfair is up to them. I think it's normal. If you lose a lot, people talk about it.
“I have a lot of support from the higher-ups. I'm okay with where I stand. They don't call me every minute to say they trust me, but I feel their support in our regular conversations.”
Should Arne Slot Be Fired?
Liverpool legends Steven Gerrard and Steve McManaman talked about Slot's future after the game.
McManaman said it's too early to think about sacking Slot, even with Liverpool's current struggles.
Speaking on TNT Sports, the former Liverpool and Real Madrid star said, “No, I don’t think so. He has a good run of games.
“I get the question, but with those games and Liverpool still in the Champions League, it’s too early to ask that. They'd have to be knocked out of the Champions League and at the bottom of the league.
“They play Arsenal in the second week of Jan; that's when the question should be asked. Hopefully, they'll have moved up the table by then.
“You need to give him time for the new players, especially since the constant injuries they have experienced. You’d expect them to come in and lift the team.”
Gerrard agreed, adding, “That’s the world we live in now; adding, “That’s football. I've been in that spot myself.
“You know that if you're not getting results, people will ask questions. That's part of being at the top.
“I agree with Macca because we've been through it. It's going to happen.”
Liverpool needs to win against West Ham on Saturday to ease the pressure on Slot.
ANALYTICAL: WHY £400M-SPENDING LIVERPOOL STILL DESPERATELY NEEDS ARDA GüLER
Liverpool joins rivals Manchester United and Arsenal in the race to sign highly-rated Real Madrid attacking midfielder Arda Güler, following their UCL win.
Liverpool, the reigning Premier League champs, are set to host Brighton and Hove Albion at Anfield this Saturday afternoon.
Arne Slot's team hasn't been doing great lately, with only two wins in their last ten Premier League games. They recently tied 3-3 with Leeds United, who are also having a tough time.
But the Reds did get a win in the Champions League on Tuesday, beating Inter Milan 1-0. This gets them closer to qualifying for the next stage.
Now, after that big win in Milan, word is Liverpool wants to sign one of La Liga's biggest stars.
CaughtOffside says that Liverpool and Manchester United are both interested in Real Madrid's Arda Güler.
The report also says that Arsenal, who are leading the Premier League right now, also want the Turkish player, who's been playing really well this season.
Guler, who's 20, moved to Real from Fenerbahce in 2023. He's played in over 80 games for the Spanish team in all competitions.
He's scored 15 goals and assisted 18 times during that time. His play for Xabi Alonso's team has caught the attention of quite a few English teams.
The report says that all three Premier League teams are seriously interested in Güler, who mainly plays as an attacking midfielder but can also play on the wing.
Güler's contract with Real Madrid lasts until the end of the 2028/29 season, but it sounds like clubs might try to get him to leave Madrid next year.
Liverpool's manager, Slot, reportedly wants to add more creative players to his team, even after spending over £400 million on new players this summer. He thinks Güler is the right guy for the job.
VIRGIL VAN DIJK DENIES RIFT: MO SALAH'S RANT IS "BLOWN UP" BY MEDIA; I WANT HIM TO STAY
Virgil van Dijk claimed Mohamed Salah's "thrown under the bus" comments haven't affected the team, stating the internal atmosphere and training remain "normal."
Virgil van Dijk claims Mohamed Salah's recent outburst hasn't messed with the Liverpool team's vibe. He said training felt normal.
After Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds, where Salah sat on the bench, he said he felt thrown under the bus by the club, blamed for their bad season, and hinted he might leave in January.
This rant got him in trouble. He didn't travel with the team to Milan for their Champions League game against Inter, which they won 1-0 thanks to a late penalty by Dominik Szoboszlai.
Van Dijk told Sky Sports that even after Salah's comments, things were fine within the team.
It wasn't that hard to deal with. "It's just how he felt after the game," Van Dijk said. When we came in on Sunday, the team felt the same as always.
We know what's up, but the media is blowing it up. We just need to deal with the fact that we had a big game and another one coming up this weekend. We'll see what happens.
When asked if he'd spoken to Salah and what they talked about, Van Dijk said, Of course I spoke to him. But that's private.
Salah's time at Liverpool seems uncertain, but Van Dijk wants him to stay: I've been with Mo for a long time. He's helped me a lot here, and I've helped him. We've done it together.
Salah mentioned issues with the club, feeling benched without reason, and a strained relationship with the manager, suggesting someone at the club doesn't want him there. He also spoke about his contract, saying he thought he'd retire at Liverpool, but now things are uncertain.
He's leaving for the African Cup of Nations soon. I hope he does great. "I don't know what will happen next," Van Dijk added.
I hope he comes back to Liverpool, but it's up to the club and Mo. We're friends no matter what, and we've been through a lot together. We'll see what happens.
Arne Slot's team was short some players in Milan, including Cody Gakpo and Federico Chiesa.
When asked if Salah had let the team down, Van Dijk responded, I won't say if someone let someone down. He didn't travel because of what he said after the game. He trained normally yesterday. We'll see what happens on Friday when we train again. I'm focused on the team. Mo is still part of the team for now, so we'll see.
Andy Robertson, who has played with Salah for years, hopes he doesn't leave on bad terms.
It's tough. "We're talking about one of the best players ever to play here," Robertson said. I joined at the same time as him. Whatever happened, we're all in this together.
About Salah's future, he said, That's not up to me. I love playing with Mo, and I hope we keep playing together.
