Liverpool on run of six defeats in seven league matches
‘You would never have expected us to have lost so much’
Arne Slot has admitted he feels guilty about Liverpool’s “ridiculous” slump, a collapse no one at the club envisaged, and said he must prove himself to everyone at Anfield on a daily basis.
Slot is dealing with the worst run of his managerial career after Nottingham Forest inflicted a sixth defeat in seven Premier League games, and eighth defeat in 11 matches in all competitions, on the champions on Saturday. Cody Gakpo described the 3-0 reverse at home to Sean Dyche’s team as a “kind of embarrassment”.
Liverpool host PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Wednesday and Slot revealed their predicament has stunned the entire club. Asked to describe the situation, the Dutchman replied: “Ridiculous, almost. Something I didn’t expect to be in, not at any club I worked at let alone if you are the manager of Liverpool. That is unbelievable.
