"While Arne Slot might have enjoyed a real fairytale during his maiden campaign at Anfield last season, the Dutch tactician has found some serious pressure on his shoulders this time around. Already accepting that they will relinquish their 20th domestic crown in 2026, the former Feyenoord boss also had to deal with a public battle with attacking talisman and Liverpool icon Mohamed Salah."
"Suffering last-gasp heartbreak away at Bournemouth over the weekend as they fell to a 3-2 loss at the Vitality, Slot's side have come tumbling out of the Champions League spots. Despite guiding Liverpool to Premier League success just a mater of months ago, sections of the Anfield have made the frustrations clear.

"Watching Xabi Alonso shockingly leave Spanish giants Real Madrid earlier in the month, it is no secret that the ex-Liverpool midfielder has been heavily linked with a potential return to Anfield. With Slot already pressed on the possibility of being replaced at Merseyside by the now-former Madrid boss, it has also been suggested that the Anfield hierarchy are already planning for life under Alonso.
