"LIVERPOOL, England -- Liverpool's UEFA Champions League clash with PSV Eindhoven was barely three minutes old when the Anfield crowd started to get restless. As goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili stood with the ball at the feet, pondering his next move, supporters in all corners of the ground started to grumble. This same sequence repeated two times before the clock had ticked past 10 minutes."
"Liverpool have now suffered nine defeats in their last 12 games in all competitions and lost three successive games by three or more goals for the first time since December 1953 -- a season that culminated in relegation. Such an ignominious fate surely does not await the Reds this season, but there can be no denying that they are amid a desperate crisis, with Slot's authority seemingly diminishing by the week."
"At the full-time whistle, a smattering of boos could be heard ringing out around the stadium; a damning indictment of a project that appears to be heading in only one direction. If it looked like Saturday's 3-0 loss against Nottingham Forest was set to be the low point of Liverpool's season, their campaign lurched to a new nadir on Wednesday as they tied their heaviest European home defeat (a 5-2 loss to Real Madrid in February 2023)."
Liverpool conceded early against PSV Eindhoven as Anfield fans grew restless while goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili delayed play. The match finished 4-1 in PSV's favor, compounding a poor run of form. The club has lost nine of its last 12 matches and endured three consecutive defeats by three or more goals for the first time since December 1953. Full-time boos echoed around the stadium as Liverpool equaled their heaviest European home defeat. Captain Virgil van Dijk gave away an early penalty, and manager Arne Slot faces growing questions over his authority amid mounting losses.
