Liverpool have endured a difficult run of form recently, leading to growing questions about their performances under Arne Slot.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Reds ended their recent run of four straight defeats as Slot\u2019s side beat Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1<\/a> in the Champions League, leading to growing optimism of a return to form.<\/p>\n However, some doubts have lingered ahead of their return to domestic football, with a string of difficult games coming up and clear issues emerging in the squad.<\/p>\n Liverpool don\u2019t look like the imperious team who won the Premier League last season, and will now face Crystal Palace<\/a>, Aston Villa<\/a>,\u00a0Real Madrid<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Man City<\/a> inside three weeks.<\/p>\n Slot has come under pressure at Liverpool<\/a> after their recent run of defeats in the league, and they are now at risk of falling behind in the title race. <\/p>\n Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider<\/strong> that Liverpool are concerned about Slot<\/a> as a result of their recent poor form.<\/p>\n As I revealed on the latest edition of Football Insider\u2019s Inside Track podcast<\/a><\/strong>, failing to win against Brentford on 25 October will see the pressure on the boss ramped up yet again and questioned could be asked as a result.<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n As is the case with any top team aiming to win silverware, Liverpool are one defeat away from a crisis, with their return to domestic action seen as a crucial fixture.<\/p>\n Speaking on the Inside Track podcast<\/strong>, I explained: \u201cIt\u2019s a big period coming up for Liverpool, it was a big win in their midweek Champions League game against Eintracht Frankfurt.<\/p>\n \u201cThey desperately needed that victory to end the rut that had set in, having suffered four defeats in a row for the first time since 2014 I think.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, results dictate whoever the manager is, if you\u2019re not performing well enough and not getting results, it brings pressure. <\/p>\n \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter who you are, whether you\u2019re Arne Slot, who won the Premier League with Liverpool last season, or anybody else. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cAt any big club, you\u2019re only one defeat away from a possible crisis. <\/p>\n \u201cAs you said, it\u2019s a big period for Liverpool, they\u2019ve got a tough game away to Brentford this weekend and they really can\u2019t afford to drop too many more points in the Premier League if they are to keep pace with the leading pack in Arsenal.\u201d<\/p>\n Slot has been slammed for his decision-making<\/a> in recent weeks, but got the major calls right against Frankfurt and must now do so again when they face Brentford.<\/p>\n Slot is concerned about four of Liverpool\u2019s star players<\/p>\n While pressure has begun to grow around the manager and his recent decisions and results, questions are also being asked of some of the Reds\u2019 star players.<\/p>\n Brown told Football Insider<\/strong> on 23 October that Slot is worried about his Liverpool stars<\/a>, with \u201cmajor concerns\u201d about some of their performances in recent weeks.<\/p>\n Alongside a host of other key players, Isak and Wirtz are causing concerns for Liverpool<\/a>\u00a0after struggling to adjust to their big-money summer moves to Anfield.<\/p>\n Last season\u2019s success at Anfield saw the likes of\u00a0Mohamed Salah<\/a>,\u00a0Virgil van Dijk<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a>\u00a0on top form, helping the Reds dominate their rivals.<\/p>\n However, both Van Dijk and Salah have seen major dips in form lately, while the likes of\u00a0Alexander Isak<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Milos Kerkez<\/a>\u00a0have struggled to adapt to the club.<\/p>\n For more Liverpool and exclusive news, follow us on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0or join our brand new\u00a0WhatsApp Channel<\/a>\u00a0for instant updates to be sent straight to
