Liverpool fans sharply criticize Arne Slot following consecutive defeats

Liverpool fans collectively condemn manager Arne Slot fiercely after two successive defeats against Crystal Palace and Galatasaray, feeling the Dutch tactician has fallen short of expectations at Anfield.

Following a shocking 1-2 loss to Crystal Palace in the Premier League last weekend, Liverpool suffered another bitter defeat, falling 0-1 to Galatasaray in the Champions League. This marks their second consecutive loss within days, intensifying pressure on coach Arne Slot, especially given the club’s heavy spending in the summer transfer window.

During their away match in Turkey, Liverpool controlled 68% of possession and fired 16 shots, but only 5 were on target. In contrast, Galatasaray made the most of their chances, with Victor Osimhen scoring the only goal from the penalty spot. Inefficiency in finishing combined with individual errors led to The Reds leaving Istanbul empty-handed.

Disappointment quickly spread among the Liverpool fanbase. On social media platform X, one supporter commented: “This is Liverpool’s worst performance since the 1-4 defeat to Napoli with Arthur Melo in the squad.”

Another fan compared: “This form is no different from Brendan Rodgers’ era. Spending £500 million and playing like this is truly shameful.”

Many directly criticized coach Slot, saying he has yet to establish a clear tactical identity. “The players seem clueless about what to do. Slot has changed too much from Klopp’s style and made us worse,” expressed an angry fan.

In response, the Dutch coach attributed the loss to “small details.” He said: “We played well in the first half and had a great chance to score. But that’s football — just one moment, and Galatasaray turned a 20% chance into a 100% penalty. The line between winning and losing is very thin.”

Despite the two consecutive losses, Liverpool still tops the Premier League table thanks to winning 5 of their first 6 matches. In the Champions League, they remain hopeful with upcoming games against Eintracht Frankfurt, Real Madrid, Inter, Marseille, PSV, and Qarabag.

However, the upcoming away match at Chelsea this weekend is seen as a crucial test for Arne Slot. If the team continues to disappoint, pressure from Anfield supporters will undoubtedly intensify significantly.
