Liverpool's dismal form shows no signs of abating under Arne Slot, the Danish manager who inherited a team on cloud nine after their Premier League title win last season. The latest blow came at the hands of Dutch side PSV Eindhoven, who inflicted a crushing 4-1 defeat on Liverpool in front of their own fans.
Nine defeats in 12 games - the worst run in 71 years for Liverpool - speaks volumes about Slot's struggles to stem the bleeding. A team that should be enjoying its golden era under new ownership worth almost £450m has been reduced to a shell of its former self, with the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Jürgen Klopp seemingly powerless to stop the freefall.
The latest defeat was all too predictable, with Liverpool's defending once again being exposed by their opponents. A penalty from PSV's Ivan Perisic in the 5th minute set the tone for a disastrous night, which only worsened as the game wore on. Slot's men were unable to respond to the early blow, and it wasn't until the 15th minute that they finally managed to level the scores.
A goal from Dominik Szoboszlai in the 18th minute seemed to give Liverpool a lifeline, but their hopes of turning the game around were quickly extinguished. Mauro Júnior's strike in the 35th minute gave PSV a two-goal lead at halftime, and despite a second-half surge, Slot's team could not find a way back into the game.
The visitors' fourth goal, scored by Couhaib Driouech with just minutes left on the clock, sealed the win for PSV, leaving Liverpool reeling. The result was met with a mixture of disappointment and despair from the Anfield faithful, who watched their team slip further away from a top-four finish.
Slot's future hangs in the balance after this dismal display. His players' body language told a story of despondency and hopelessness, and the once confident manager seems lost for words to explain his team's woes. The Liverpool fans, who have been vocal in their support for Slot since he took the reins, are beginning to lose patience with his inability to turn the ship around.
The Jürgen Klopp era is already being forgotten, replaced by memories of last season's title win and an existential crisis under new ownership. As the Reds' fans search for answers, one thing is clear: something needs to change if they are to have any hope of salvaging this season from the ashes of their own ineptitude.

PSV Eindhoven's 4-1 win was expected, but it just feels like a bigger problem than that - they're playing with a lack of cohesion and leadership, and it's getting embarrassing 
Arne Slot needs to take responsibility for this mess, but his excuses won't cut it when the results keep piling up 
The fact that Virgil van Dijk and Jürgen Klopp are struggling to stop the bleeding is a major concern - they're not even getting any younger, so we need to see some serious changes ASAP 
. They were on cloud nine last season and now it feels like they're stuck in a rut. Arne Slot just doesn't seem to be getting it done, and with the team's form being so poor, it's hard to see them turning this ship around anytime soon.
. The fans are getting frustrated and I don't blame them one bit.
. Maybe some fresh faces in the dugout or a major overhaul of the team? Whatever it is, Liverpool's fans deserve better than what they're seeing right now 
.
. But seriously though, Arne Slot's tactics are super questionable - he's gotta mix things up and get his players more involved. And I'm all for the fans being vocal about their discontent, but at the same time, can't they just give the guy a break? He inherited a team that was on cloud nine last season, for crying out loud! It's not like he's been given some sort of magic wand to make everything better... 
. On the other hand, the players' body language did look pretty despondent, and Jürgen Klopp's return seems like a possibility... I guess only time will tell if that'll be enough to turn things around 
. Virgil van Dijk and Jürgen Klopp can't even stop the bleeding? That's just wild! 
. So yeah, this season's gonna be a tough one for Liverpool, but I'm sure they'll bounce back eventually 
.
. arne slot is definitely struggling and i'm not sure if he's got what it takes to turn things around. the team looks so lost and demoralized, it's like they've given up 
. something needs to change fast or this season is going down the drain. i feel bad for the fans who were expecting so much after last season's title win, they deserve better than this 
. I feel for Jürgen Klopp, he deserved better after all his years of service to the club. Maybe it's time for a change in tactics or even the manager himself? Whatever it is, Liverpool needs to snap out of this slump and get back to winning ways ASAP! 
nine defeats in 12 games is just too much 
and its not just the team itself, its the fans who r getting desperate 
they need someone new to come in & sort out this mess ASAP 
. And now Klopp's legacy is being questioned...it's not fair to him, he deserves so much better from his team.
