Liverpool plunged deeper into turmoil after humiliating 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest triggering eruption of anger among supporters and intensifying pressure on manager Arne Slot whose position now looks increasingly fragile.

Goals from Murillo, Nicola Savona and Morgan Gibbs-White handed Liverpool their sixth Premier League defeat of the season and their sixth loss in the last seven league match.

A historic collapse backed by the numbers

The defeat carried damning historical significance:

These numbers paint the picture of club that has gone from title chasing ambitions to near collapse in matter of weeks.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Slot admitted responsibility:

"Whether things go right or wrong, it’s my responsibility. We created chances but not enough. After the first goal we could not maintain our level"

He also highlighted the defensive disasters from set pieces:

Captain Virgil van Dijk delivered unusually blunt assessment:

"We conceded easy goals again. We weren’t good in duels, we were rushed and after the first goal the nerves came. We are in trouble. Everyone must take responsibility"

He added that supporters leaving early could not be blamed:

"Losing 3-0 at Anfield.. it’s very bad. They have been with us in good and bad moments.. they’ll be with us again when we recover"

🚨 Arne Slot: “If things go well or things go bad it's always my responsibility. I tried to adjust a few things that didn't really work out”. “We have quality players. It's my job to get the best out of them. I am not at the moment. It's my responsibility”.

At the top of the list:

Jurgen Klopp, the most successful Liverpool manager of the modern era.

According to SportBible:

Klopp has "entered the list of strong candidates"
