Liverpool boss Arne Slot has openly admitted the strain he and his squad are under, saying the club is losing more than this club is used to after their bruising 4-1 Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven yesterday.
Softfootball understands that the result didn't just sting it dragged Liverpool into their worst run of form since the 1953-54 season, with nine losses in their last 12 games. For a team that lifted the Premier League title only months ago, the fall has been shockingly steep.
Slot spoke with a kind of weary honesty after the match, acknowledging the unique weight of expectations at Anfield as revealed by sports expert Fabrizio Romano via his official X account.
