Jurgen Klopp has already rushed to Arne Slot<\/a>\u2019s defence as Liverpool’s nightmare run continues. What some considered to be a blip in form has now become a full-blown crisis after the Reds\u2019 3-0 humiliation at home<\/a> by Nottingham Forest<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The stunning defeat extended Liverpool<\/a>\u2019s woeful run this season to six defeats in their last seven matches<\/a> across all competitions, having lost 3-0<\/a> to Manchester City<\/a> prior to November\u2019s international break. The reigning Premier League<\/a> champions\u2019 form nosedived following the 2-1 defeat<\/a> at Crystal Palace<\/a> in late September.<\/p>\n

With his side now in the bottom half of the table, Slot\u2019s hopes of defending his Premier League crown are in tatters, while the Dutchman is now under severe pressure to change their fortunes and avoid what was unthinkable just two months ago – his potential dismissal.<\/p>\n

But the comments of former manager Klopp at the start of the season, when Liverpool were beginning to show teething problems under Slot, have re-emerged, with the German calling for cool heads and patience.<\/p>\n

Klopp urged fans to give his successor time as the team was in a period of transition following a record-breaking summer of spending in the transfer market.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the initial transition a year ago, Klopp recently said on The Diary of a CEO<\/a> podcast: “We had a lot of contact after that. He\u2019s a super good guy. He got the best out of this team, and they became champions in an incredible manner.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s not about Arne showing the world<\/a> what he can do – it\u2019s about getting the best out of the team. That\u2019s exactly what he did.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChange always has an impact. And change always needs time.<\/p>\n

“If he keeps the exact same team as last season – Darwin Nunez still there, Luis Diaz still there, for example – they start playing and have problems, [people say] \u2018We need change.\u2019<\/p>\n

“Now the new guys are there, and they are really good players. It\u2019s just not working out at the minute.\u201d<\/p>\n

Summing up his thoughts in three words, Klopp added: \u201cDevelopment needs time,\u201d before saying: \u201cNobody can change that. People need time to adapt. It\u2019s all good.”<\/p>\n

Despite that assessment, there are things Slot simply must address immediately. Certain decisions, like persisting with record signing Alexander Isak up front in place of Hugo Ekitike, and the lack of midfield balance in the side, have irked supporters.<\/p>\n

Defensive struggles in particular have haunted Liverpool since the start of the season, with Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk both jarringly out of form. Injuries to Conor Bradley and Jeremie Frimpong have resulted in Dominik Szoboszlai being played out of position at right back, while many cannot understand why the Dutchman refused to start Joe Gomez there.<\/p>\n
