Slot needs to sort this unacceptable Reds run

WHATEVER Arne Slot's message is to his players before games, it is not being listened to and it is time for the Liverpool boss to earn his stripes now.

Struggles for Arne Slot and (below) Alexander Isak at Anfield on Saturday

(MOLLY DARLINGTON/GETTY)

Eight defeats in 11 games and losing six out of seven in the Premier League means we are going over old ground at this point - but we remain far too easy to play against and ultimately beat.

Defeats like the one at Manchester City can happen; they are a fantastic side and on their day, at home, most will struggle to live with them, as tough as it was to take. But Nottingham Forest at Anfield? That is a different beast and it simply isn’t acceptable to lose 3-0. To be humbled and humiliated like that, it simply can’t happen.

I've spoken in recent weeks about Liverpool needing to score twos and threes to get anything from a game and they don’t look like a coherent attacking team for that to be possible at the moment.
