The tension at Anfield has reached fever pitch. Liverpool’s humiliating 3–0 defeat to Manchester City has sparked outrage among fans, heavy criticism from pundits, and widespread speculation about manager Arne Slot’s future. But now, reliable transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has stepped in with an exclusive update — one that finally settles the question everyone’s been asking.
According to Romano, Liverpool’s hierarchy held internal discussions late Sunday night to assess the situation following the defeat at the Etihad. The mood within the boardroom, sources say, was tense, emotional, and brutally honest. Yet, despite the growing pressure, the club has made its position on Arne Slot very clear.
> “Liverpool have decided to stand by Arne Slot,” Fabrizio Romano confirmed. “The board believes in his long-term project and will continue to back him despite the recent results. There is full internal support and trust in the process.”
Romano’s revelation comes as a major surprise to some supporters who had expected immediate managerial changes after the dismal performance. The loss — Liverpool’s third in five games — saw them slump to fourth place, trailing Arsenal by eight points and leaving their title hopes in serious jeopardy.
A Dressing Room Divided?
Insiders claim that frustrations have begun to build behind the scenes, with several senior players privately questioning Slot’s tactical decisions and rotation policy. One source reportedly described the dressing room atmosphere as “uneasy but still professional,” while another insisted that the players are not giving up on Slot — yet.
The Dutch manager, who took over following Jürgen Klopp’s emotional departure, has endured a turbulent start to life at Anfield. Despite flashes of promise earlier in the season, inconsistencies and poor results against top rivals have piled immense pressure on his shoulders.
What the Fans Are Saying
Social media exploded immediately after the final whistle, with many fans venting frustration over the team’s performance and questioning whether Slot’s system truly fits Liverpool’s identity.
> “This isn’t the Liverpool we know. No pressing, no fight, no direction,” one supporter wrote.
“Klopp left big shoes to fill, but this isn’t even close,” another added.
Yet amid the criticism, some fans have called for patience, reminding others that rebuilding after the Klopp era would always take time.
> “New philosophy, new ideas — it was never going to be smooth,” wrote one fan on X. “If the board believes in Slot, we should too.”
What’s Next for Liverpool
Liverpool’s next fixtures are critical. The club faces a challenging run that includes a Europa League tie and a must-win Premier League clash against Tottenham. Slot is expected to make tactical adjustments and could even bench several underperforming players in an attempt to spark a reaction.
Romano’s update confirms that Liverpool’s owners, FSG, will not rush into any emotional decisions. The club reportedly wants to give Slot the remainder of the season to prove his worth and stabilize results — though insiders admit that “a line has been drawn” if performances continue to decline.
A Manager Under Fire, But Not Finished
While the 3–0 defeat to Manchester City has intensified scrutiny, Slot still holds the confidence of the board — for now. His focus reportedly remains on rebuilding morale within the squad and reigniting the high-energy football Liverpool fans have been missing.
> “The message from above is simple,” said one insider. “Arne Slot stays. But results must change, and fast.”
As the dust settles from a bitter defeat, one truth remains: Liverpool’s future under Arne Slot now hangs on the edge of performance, unity, and time.
The board has spoken — but only the next few matches will determine if their faith will be rewarded or tested again.
