Certainly, Liverpool is coming off a solid victory against Olympique de Marseille in the Champions League. And the Reds are on track to finish in the top 8 of the Champions League. So is everything okay? Not really, since in the championship, things are going rather badly for Arne Slot’s men. This weekend again, the Liverpuldiens lost 3-2 against Bournemouth in the championship.
The Reds are on a series of five games without winning in the Premier League, and retain this fourth place in the standings because behind them, the pursuers also have a string of poor results. But Florian Wirtz’s squad is already seven points behind third, Aston Villa, and fourteen points behind the leader, Arsenal. And inevitably, Arne Slot is still very criticized by public opinion and his position is clearly in danger.
A former great player
As indicated A.S.Liverpool have not yet definitively sealed their fate, but are already preparing for the future, and everything indicates that one or two bad results will put an end to the Dutchman’s adventure on the Anfield bench. And the Liverpool leaders have even already contacted a coach to take the temperature. It is, without too much surprise, Xabi Alonso, former midfielder of the club who has just left his post in Madrid.
The Spanish media reports that Liverpool asked Alonso if the club could count on him in the event of Slot’s departure in the coming weeks, and the response was positive. The Basque tactician is therefore very interested in the idea of ​​returning to Anfield, where he played for five years, and he is therefore in pole position in the event that Slot is dismissed soon. If Liverpool will face Qarabag in the Champions League in a rather affordable match, the Reds will have a series of fairly complicated Premier League matches, against Newcastle, Manchester City and Sunderland. Perhaps the last games of the Slot era at Liverpool.
