A giant humiliated, but what a sensation in the Champions League. “We’re in f…”

It was the most shocking result of Wednesday’s Champions League matches. Liverpool lost 4-1 at home to Dutch side PSV, continuing their weeks-long slump—Arne Slot’s side has suffered nine defeats in their last twelve matches. The search for the culprits continues, but there’s no doubt the main culprit is the Dutch coach.

PSV took the lead in the 6th minute. The scoreline wasn’t so bad until halftime, though. Liverpool equalized shortly after, and it seemed the visiting team wouldn’t have much of a chance in the second half. However, Arne Slot’s men faltered after the break, conceding three more goals. Many Liverpool fans didn’t see the final goal, in the 92nd minute, having left the stadium early.

The big search for the guilty party. Everyone points to one person.

It’s hardly surprising for Liverpool fans , as this is another painful defeat in recent weeks. Since September 27th, Liverpool have played twelve matches and lost nine of them. Their only victories have come against Galatasaray (1-0), Eintracht Frankfurt (5-1), and Aston Villa (2-0). It’s no wonder that rumors have begun to swirl about manager Arne Slot’s future.

The Dutch coach is being blamed for the current situation. “More and more question marks are emerging around the Dutchman,” writes mirror.co.uk. “The former Feyenoord coach is under enormous pressure regarding his future in the hot seat at Anfield. Liverpool were supposed to have a few easy matches on paper, but their opponents will be looking to exploit their opponent’s weakness like a predator stalking wounded prey,” the website adds.

Liverpooloffside.sbnation.com tries to look for the positives, but even they point out that “Liverpool is a mess, and the team can fall apart during a match for no apparent reason , which negates the effort put in throughout.” “Even when the team is playing well, you still feel like everything could fall apart in the stupidest way possible. And it usually does,” the website adds.

The Daily Star blames Arne Slot’s “terrible decisions” for yesterday’s defeat. “After Guus Til scored PSV’s second goal, Liverpool simply stopped playing football. They were slow, inaccurate and Slot had no answers to stop this ongoing state of decay,” the report reads.

Liverpool’s players and legends have had enough, too. Midfielder Curtis Jones didn’t hold his tongue. “I have no words. I’m past the point where I’m angry or sad. I’m in a place now where it’s hard to find any words. I’m a fan and I see what’s happening. I’ve never seen a team play so badly, or have such results,” he said in an interview with RTE. “We have this badge on our chest and we will always fight to get this club to where it deserves to be. We have to show the world that Liverpool are the best team in the world. But right now, we’re in a mess, and that has to change,” he concluded.

Liverpoolecho.co.uk quotes Steven Gerrard: “It’s unacceptable, they’re conceding too many goals, they’re too open, vulnerable, and unstable. Anfield is telling the story, the seats are empty,” the club legend remarked.

Will Liverpool finally begin to emerge from the crisis? Arne Slot’s side now face one of the worst teams in the Premier League. On Sunday, November 30th, Liverpool will play away at West Ham United – the 17th-placed team in the league . We encourage you to follow this match on Sport.pl and the Sport.pl LIVE mobile app.
