“This is like mega derailed” - After Liverpool suffer embarrassing 4-1 loss to PSV, Jamie Carragher delivers verdict on sacking Arne Slot

Jamie Carragher believes a lot of Liverpool supporters will start to call for the sacking of manager Arne Slot following the Reds' humiliating 4-1 loss to PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. The defeat marked Liverpool’s ninth loss in their last 12 matches.

After winning the Premier League last season, Slot’s side have fallen from grace in the current campaign. They sit 12th in the Premier League table and 13th in the league phase of the UCL table.

During his punditry duties on CBS Sports, Carragher admitted that Liverpool have been on a rough patch before hinting at a possible a mid-season managerial change.

“Yeah, but it’s not been the only rough night, has it?” Carragher said. “This has been like this all season. Liverpool don’t notoriously or historically, I should say, change managers, but I think there will be a lot of supporters tonight thinking, "Is it at that stage yet?"

When asked about the possibility of an early managerial change, he responded:

“No, I don’t think it will, but I think there will be a lot of people calling for it.

Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards then suggested that the Reds' current form has been super derailed, to which Carragher retorted:

“This is not derailed. This is like mega derailed. I mean, there’s no train track; there’s no train. It’s nothing left.”

The defeat to PSV marked the first time Liverpool have conceded more than three goals in three consecutive games in all competitions since September 1992.

Arne Slot ‘not worried’ about losing Liverpool job amid poor run of form

Amid back-to-back losses, Arne Slot said that he is not worried about being axed from his job, insisting that he is focused on other things rather than his own position. The Dutchman told reporters after the PSV game:

“I don’t agree with you that the quality [of Liverpool’s players] isn’t showing itself. I see enough moments that players show their quality but it doesn’t reflect in the score or in the results, that is clear. But no, I am not worried – what I mean with that is that my focus is on other things than worrying about my own position.

Slot admitted that he has failed the replicate the form of his Premier League title-winning campaign and noted the need to improve. He continued:

“I try to analyse [and] try to help the players as much as I can, and it is obvious that I don’t do it in the way that I did it last season because when you talk about individual errors, I think that is also something that comes from a team effort. So, again, I need to do better and that is what I am trying to do every single day, to improve the team, and that is where my main focus is, to be honest.”

Slot added that he still feels the support of the hierarchy at Anfield, saying he believes he retains their ‘trust.’
