"By a mile. All the other seasons I have managed, there was only positives. "I don't think I have ever lost two games in a row [until now]. It's an exception for me, I am not used to it. "I don't think we feel we've only lost two of our last 17. A draw feels like a loss. "The players know what the standards of Liverpool mean and we aren't performing to those standards. They feel that disappointment."
"Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp as Reds boss in June 2024 and led the club to a record-equalling 20th top-flight title in his first season in charge. However, they have struggled this term despite spending almost 450m on new signings in the summer, including a British record 125m for Alexander Isak. Liverpool have won 11, drawn six and lost eight games in the league so far in 2025-26."
Arne Slot describes the 2025-26 campaign as the toughest of his managerial career and says Liverpool are not performing to the club's standards.

Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp in June 2024 and won a record-equalling 20th top-flight title in his first season. The squad spent almost 450m on summer signings, including a British-record 125m for Alexander Isak, and currently have a league record of 11 wins, six draws and eight losses.
