You have two weeks — Liverpool legend sounds ultimatum to Slot

Legendary Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said that Arne Slot only has two weeks to save his job, despite reports claiming his employment status was safe amid recent disastrous form.

Liverpool’s season has unravelled alarmingly after last campaign’s high. The Dutch tactician led the Reds to the Premier League title last season, his first season in charge.

The club engaged in a mammoth summer recruitment drive intended to consolidate that success, spending around £440–£450m, including a British-record £125m signing of Alexander Isak.

However, the investment has not settled into results. Liverpool have suffered a catastrophic run of form with nine defeats in 12 games in all competitions. Six of these losses have come in the Premier League, leaving them 12th on the log.

On Tuesday, they were humiliated 4–1 at Anfield by PSV in the Champions League, which sent the opprobrium to an all-time high, with Carragher putting a timeline on his termination.

Writing in his column for the Telegraph, the one-time Champions League winner said that Slot must collect seven points from the next nine to keep his job.

"Arne Slot has a week to save his job," he said. "It is hard to believe that sentence is being written, but Liverpool’s next three games are against West Ham United, Sunderland, and Leeds United.

“Anything fewer than seven points will make an already unacceptable situation untenable. No matter how much goodwill the manager has, Liverpool Football Club cannot sustain the drop in standards witnessed over the past three months.

“No one knows better than me how much that reality will be hurting everyone connected with my old club. Liverpool do not willingly sack coaches, especially those that bring great success.”
