Liverpool legend and former club captain Jamie Carragher has issued a stark warning that manager Arne Slot may have only one week left to secure his future at Anfield. His comments come in the wake of Liverpool’s heavy 4-1 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League encounter, a result that deepened the club’s ongoing crisis.
The humiliating loss marked the Reds’ ninth defeat in their last 12 outings across all competitions — their worst sequence of results in more than seven decades. The pressure continues to mount as the struggling Premier League champions prepare to face West Ham United this weekend, entering the fixture languishing in 12th place on the league table.
Following the clash in London, Liverpool are scheduled to meet newly promoted Leeds United and Sunderland, fixtures expected to be pivotal in assessing Slot’s immediate future at the club.
Writing in his column for The Telegraph, Carragher cautioned that “anything fewer than seven points will make an already unacceptable situation untenable”.
The former defender stressed the urgency of the moment, adding: “Arne Slot has a week to save his job.
“No matter how much goodwill the manager has, Liverpool Football Club cannot sustain the drop in standards witnessed over the past three months.”
Carragher’s remarks reflect growing concerns among supporters and analysts who fear the team’s decline could jeopardize their objectives in both domestic and European competitions.
