Liverpool’s early-season sparkle has dimmed into concern, as the Premier League champions find themselves in unfamiliar territory after a fourth consecutive defeat their worst run in more than ten years.
Manager Arne Slot is under growing pressure to steady the ship after a 2-1 loss to Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday, a result that ended United’s long winless streak at the historic ground since January 2016.
The Reds, who had opened the campaign with a thrilling seven-game winning streak often salvaging victories through dramatic late goals now appear short on both rhythm and resilience. Their performances, once bursting with intensity and confidence, have become increasingly disjointed.
This latest defeat marks Liverpool’s fourth straight loss in all competitions, a slump not seen since November 2014 under former boss Brendan Rodgers.
With confidence wavering and rivals capitalising, Slot faces his biggest test yet reigniting the spark in a side that suddenly looks a shadow of its title-winning self.
