The English media is unanimous in their verdict that Liverpool manager Slot is now at big risk of the sack following a disastrous start to the season.

The Reds were thrashed 3-0 at home by Nottingham Forest on Saturday in the latest dismal result and performance by Slot's men.

And former Liverpool midfielder Hamann believes that if the Reds don't win Wednesday's Champions League home game against PSV and Sunday's Premier League clash at West Ham, then Slot could get the chop.

What did Hamann say?

“I don't think anybody wants to see him leave because of what he's done last season," Hamann told Talksport.

“Obviously, the run of form is very bad at the moment. I think what you want to see as a club is progress. The next two games will be telling.

“Alan [Brazil] just said they've got to win both games, I agree because we don't need to talk about the title now.

“Arsenal look very strong, Chelsea look the only contender really at the moment. I think they've (Liverpool) got a fight on their hands to finish in the top four.

“If you don't see progress in the Premier League, I think his time will come to an end, as it will be with everybody else.”

The Reds have lost six of their last seven matches in the Premier League and are way down in 11th place in the Premier League - eight points off the top of the table - with leaders Arsenal having a game in hand.

This latest poor result has piled the pressure on manager Slot, with much of the English media unanimous that he risks the sack.

Fabrizio Romano said before the international break that Liverpool bosses still had trust in Slot and believe he can turn things around.

Romano reported earlier in the month that Liverpool chiefs understand that having made so many new signings in the summer that things can take time to gel.

He said they had not made any contact with potential successors - or their agents - and were still backing Slot.

But this latest defeat and the nature of it may now have changed their tune.

Slot is under pressure to fix the Reds’ current slump following a record-breaking summer transfer window in which they spent a whopping €482.9 million on Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni.

The Reds spent just €42 million during Slot’s first transfer window at the club and they were expected to endure a difficult 2024-25 campaign following the departure of Jurgen Klopp, however they won just their second ever Premier League title.

Slot enjoyed a fantastic debut season at Anfield as Liverpool claimed the English top flight trophy with 84 points, but recent results are concerning.
