ARNE Slot insisted he is confident of avoiding the sack despite troubled Liverpool's dismal 4-1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday.

Slot’s side slumped to a ninth defeat in their last 12 matches in all competitions, leaving the Dutchman under mounting pressure.

Liverpool’s numerous flaws were brutally exposed by PSV in a Champions League demolition that triggered recriminations as frustrated fans jeered Slot and his players at the final whistle.

The unusual sight of empty red seats around Anfield well before full-time delivered a damning verdict on Liverpool's astonishing fall from grace this season.

Beaten 3-0 by Nottingham Forest at Anfield last weekend, Liverpool have now lost three successive games, conceding 10 goals in the process.

It is their worst run since the 1953-54 campaign, and Slot is facing pointed questions about his ability to turn the tide.

Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard added to the pressure with a damning verdict on their plight.

“With each defeat it gets closer to being a crisis,” Gerrard told TNT Sport.

“There are no excuses for a performance like that at this football club. You cannot deny the team is struggling massively.
