Liverpool’s, Nov 27 (V7N) – Liverpool’s first season under Arne Slot had begun with remarkable promise, highlighted by a Premier League title and a strong Champions League campaign. But midway into the new season, the energy that once defined Slot’s side appears to be fading rapidly.

On Wednesday night, Liverpool endured a heavy 4–1 defeat against Dutch club PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League group stage, raising fresh concerns about the team’s form in both domestic and European competitions. The loss exposed significant defensive vulnerabilities and a lack of composure across key areas of play—issues that have increasingly troubled the squad in recent weeks.

PSV capitalized on Liverpool’s disjointed structure, pressing aggressively and dictating the tempo for most of the match. Despite brief moments of resistance from the English club, PSV’s sharp attacking transitions and clinical finishing proved overwhelming.

The defeat adds to Liverpool’s growing list of setbacks this season, with the club now struggling to maintain its earlier dominance. Analysts suggest that tactical predictability, fatigue and injuries have contributed to the recent decline, while supporters are urging quick corrective action to salvage their Champions League aspirations.

Liverpool now face mounting pressure to regain stability before the knockout rounds slip out of reach, as Arne Slot navigates the most challenging phase of his tenure so far.
