BBC Sport<\/span><\/p>\nLiverpool’s stellar start was followed by a run of six defeats in seven matches that sparked concern and talk of a crisis.<\/p>\n
Things started to look up earlier in November, with victories over Aston Villa and Real Madrid lifting morale and offering hope of a return to form.<\/p>\n
But those wins only offered brief respite.<\/p>\n
A 3-0 defeat by Manchester City just before the international break was tough, but can happen against Pep Guardiola’s side.<\/p>\n
But a setback by the same scoreline at home to Nottingham Forest left Liverpool 12th in the top flight and was followed by this embarrassing loss against PSV – only the Reds’ second loss at Anfield in their past 26 pre-knockout stage games in this competition.<\/p>\n
It has left Slot with a massive task on his hands to return his side to the top half of the Premier League and stay in the hunt for a top-eight place in the Champions League league phase, having slipped down to 13th.<\/p>\n
Sacking managers at the first sign of trouble is not a tactic Liverpool have frequently deployed. Let’s not forget too that last year Slot oversaw the best start – eight wins in his first 10 top-flight games – by a Reds boss, having just replaced Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n
But his summer signings have not worked, putting him under pressure.<\/p>\n
Slot says he is not worrying about his future at the club and is instead focused on turning things around.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
