Liverpool boss Arne Slot was facing mounting pressure on his job at Anfield. A wretched run of results left the Reds out of the running for silverware. Among the disappointments was the 4-0 wilting at Manchester City in the FA Cup quarter-finals, and a pair of 2-0 defeats in both legs of their Champions League quarter-final tie with PSG. The battle for the top five, which would ensure qualification for next season’s Champions League is currently in Liverpool’s favour, though, entrenched by a late 2-1 Merseyside derby win at Everton and backing that up with a 3-1 over Crystal Palace. But a demoralising 3-2 defeat at rivals Manchester United, in which Liverpool had fought from 2-0 down, has deflated the mood late in the season. With the Reds still likely to return to Europe’s top table next season, though, the latest reports suggest Slot is set to stay at Anfield next season.

It’s been a long time since Anfield has been filled with fans calling for their manager’s head, such was the success of Jurgen Klopp’s reign in charge, but the demise in standards since a busy summer transfer window, funded by Fenway Sports Group, means that the ownership’s patience with Slot is running just as thin as the supporters’.
