Liverpool have struggled to defend their title losing six of their last nine top-flight matches.<\/p>\n
Despite a brief return to winning form with a 2-0 victory over West Ham, Arne Slot\u2019s side failed to inspire again, drawing 1-1 at home to Sunderland just 72 hours later.<\/p>\n
Leeds United shocked Liverpool on Saturday night with a stoppage-time equaliser from Ao Tanaka, capping a thrilling six-goal second half at Elland Road.<\/p>\n
Arne Slot\u2019s future is under scrutiny but he believes he can still turns things around at Anfield.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is every reason to be positive\u201d, Slot told reporters after the game.<\/p>\n
Liverpool are in a mess at the moment.<\/p>\n
Following Liverpool\u2019s 4-1 home defeat to PSV in the Champions League, with fans audibly jeering the team at the final whistle.<\/p>\n
Just months after guiding Liverpool to the Premier League title, Slot now faces massive uncertainty over his future as manager given the club\u2019s current form.<\/p>\n
When asked about his relationship with the hierarchy in the club last week he said: \u201cYeah but not in the sense that they tell me every single minute \u2018we support you\u2019, \u2018we support you\u2019, \u2018we support you\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe talk a lot. If we are winning, last season, and if we are losing. And then they are helpful to me, to the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo yeah, we do have those conversations, but they don\u2019t call me in every single minute of the day to tell me that they still trust me.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do have the normal conversations and in those conversations I feel the trust.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I haven\u2019t spoken to them after this game yet, so let\u2019s see!\u201d<\/p>\n
Amid the Reds\u2019 dismal run of results, speculation has intensified over a potential successor for Slot.<\/p>\n
Liverpool sound out Steven Gerrard for interim role<\/p>\n
A return to Anfield would create a compelling narrative for a player who rose through the ranks to become one of Liverpool\u2019s all-time greats.<\/p>\n
DaveOCKOP can exclusively reveal that Steven Gerrard is under consideration to step in on an interim basis if Arne Slot is sacked.<\/p>\n
Gerrard earlier revealed he was \u201cvery close\u201d to returning as Rangers manager but turned down the role after talks following Russell Martin\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n
The 45-year-old previously managed Rangers from 2018 to 2021, winning the 2020-21 Scottish title, before spells with Aston Villa and Al-Ettifaq.<\/p>\n
The Reds are also believed to be admirers of Julian Nagelsmann. The German will lead his side to next summer\u2019s World Cup and could become available after the tournament.<\/p>\n
