But the 2025-26 campaign has turned into something of a nightmare, with the sound of boos echoing around Anfield after a 1-1 draw with Chelsea – a result that encapsulated the malaise. The discontent felt reminiscent of the final days of Roy Hodgson's tenure 15 years ago, putting Slot's future under intense scrutiny.\n\nThe pattern of failing to put away struggling opponents has become a hallmark of this Liverpool side. Manchester United arrived in October with just one point from three away games and left with a 3-0 win. Nottingham Forest, early-season strugglers on the road, secured a comprehensive 3-0 victory at Anfield in November. Burnley, who had lost eight of 10 away league matches, earned a draw in January. And perhaps most damningly, a relegation-bound Tottenham side on a five-game losing run stole a point with a late equalizer in March. The Chelsea draw, where Liverpool led early through Ryan Gravenberch but then retreated into passivity, was the latest episode in a season of missed opportunities.\n\nLiverpool's away form has been equally dire, with just one point collected from seven trips to teams in the top nine. A loss at bottom-placed Wolves in early March further highlighted the team's fragility. Statistically, the decline is stark: 11 league defeats is the most since 2014-15, and the team is averaging just 1.67 goals per game – their lowest in a decade. Shots inside the box have dropped to 9.9 per game, while they are facing 11.4 shots per match, the worst figure since 2013-14.\n\nYet there are compelling arguments for patience. Slot delivered the Premier League title in his debut season, a feat that cannot be dismissed. Despite this season's disappointments, Liverpool remain on course for a top-four finish and Champions League qualification – hardly a sackable outcome. Moreover, their cup exits came against formidable opponents: Crystal Palace and Paris Saint-Germain will both contest European finals, and Manchester City may yet win the league.\n\nSlot's past also offers reassurance. At Feyenoord, after winning the Eredivisie in 2022-23, his team failed to retain the title not because of a drop-off but due to an exceptional PSV side under Peter Bosz. Crucially, Feyenoord's underlying numbers improved dramatically, with expected goals jumping from 66.3 to 95.2 the following season. This suggests Slot's preferred proactive style can produce results, and the current passive performances are an aberration. This is the first significant downturn in his managerial career, and he should be given the chance to learn and correct course.\n\nThe club's heavy summer recruitment has also been undermined by injuries and adaptation struggles. Alexander Isak broke his leg just as he was finding rhythm, while Hugo Ekitiké suffered a horrific Achilles injury. Jeremie Frimpong has already missed more games through injury at Liverpool than he did in four and a half years at Bayer Leverkusen. Florian Wirtz has shown only flashes of his Leverkusen brilliance, and even Milos Kerkez, now a dependable presence, had a slow start. With better luck on the fitness front and a full preseason to integrate his ideas, Slot could yet mold this squad into his vision.\n\nHowever, the on-field product offers little evidence of improvement. Liverpool have not won more than three consecutive league matches all season, and even their victories have often been laboured. Mohamed Salah's output has drastically declined, and the team's attacking metrics are at their worst in years. The passive approach that Slot himself claims to dislike continues to resurface, pointing to a failure in translating instructions into execution.\n\nThe fan unrest cannot be ignored. The boos after the Chelsea game were not an isolated incident; they reflected months of growing frustration. Losing established figures like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Díaz, and the tragic loss of Diogo Jota disrupted the squad's balance, and the new arrivals have not filled the void. While injuries play a part, the manager must find solutions from the resources available, and the persistent tactical issues raise questions about his adaptability.\n\nThe defensive record has also been alarming, particularly at Anfield. A 3-0 league cup defeat to Crystal Palace was the worst domestic cup home loss since 1934, and a 4-1 Champions League hammering by PSV underlined the team's vulnerability. The nine defeats in 12 games across all competitions earlier this year was the club's worst such run since the 1950s. Even when leading against Chelsea, the team sat back and invited pressure, a decision that baffled supporters and ultimately cost two points.\n\nThe decision facing Liverpool's hierarchy is whether this season is an outlier caused by a perfect storm of injuries and transition, or a harbinger of deeper problems. Slot's title win provides a significant buffer, but patience in football is finite. The summer will be critical: with injured players returning and the opportunity to further strengthen the squad, the board appears inclined to back their manager. But if the slow, uninspired football continues into next season, the chorus of discontent will only grow louder. For now, the question lingers: can Arne Slot turn this around, or is the magic of his first season already fading?\n\nBased on reporting from The Guardian.","news","Liverpool have lost 11 league games this season, their most since 2014-15, and fans are questioning Arne Slot's future after a disappointing title defence.","326257545712766976","Manchester United","329975553836716033","326135625054949376","Premier League","327054566501650432","Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest","2026-05-13T11:00:08Z","arne-slot-11-league-defeats-what-s-next-for-liverpool","The Guardian","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Ffootball\u002F2026\u002Fmay\u002F13\u002Fliverpool-arne-slot-time-change-league-title-defence","326257545918287872","Liverpool",[79,68,63,82,83,84,85,86],"326257536078450688","326257534396534784","326257546258026496","326255037950988288","326257546425798656",[80,69,64,88,89,90,91,92],"Paris Saint Germain","Bayer Leverkusen","Manchester City","Crystal Palace","Aston Villa","Arne Slot: 11 League Defeats, What's Next for Liverpool?",[95,124,153,180],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":96,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":97,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":98,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":99,"slug":100,"sourceName":101,"sourceURL":102,"teamId":103,"teamName":104,"teamIds":105,"teamNames":114,"title":123},"Pierre Sage is set to join Crystal Palace after leading Lens to Coupe de France glory.
