Liverpool added yet another defeat to their Premier League tally after they were beaten 2-1 by Wolves on Tuesday evening.
The Reds were the favourites by a country mile and although both teams decided to show up and play football in the final 20 minutes of the game, it was too little too late for Arne Slot's men.
Wolves clearly wanted the win more than the Anfield outfit, which, with the Champions League spots at stake, is rather worrying.
Mohamed Salah's dire performance was only saved by the equalising goal he managed to score and even that felt like a bit of a fluke.
However, if Tuesday's game has confirmed anything, it's that Slot's time as Liverpool's manager is over.
Due to how lacklustre Liverpool have been this season, rumours about Slot's future have been rife.
Managers such as Luis Enrique, Xabi Alonso and even Steven Gerrard have been linked with taking over from the Dutchman.
The 2025-26 season was supposed to be one full of change and the one where the Reds cemented themselves as Europe's best team.
However, it's ended up with the Anfield outfit being red-faced and worse off than last term.
The fact that Tuesday's defeat against Rob Edwards' men was the first time in the last nine years that the bottom-placed Premier League team have beaten the reigning champions proves how dire things actually are in L4.
And, even though John Henry might not want to immediately end the Dutchman's tenure, the end of the 2025-26 season is just around the corner and would be the perfect way for things to end amicably and allow the next manager some time to settle in.
Although Liverpool have suffered many defeats this season, Tuesday's game against Wolves was the cherry on top of the cake.
Before Edwards took over, Wolves had no hope of even winning a game with some even suggesting that they could end up with the Premier League's worst-ever points record.
That obviously hasn't happened and this isn't meant to discredit Edwards' work in any way but, even though Wolves found themselves in a good run of form, Liverpool should have been able to walk all over them without even lifting a finger.
The number of world-class players that they have among their ranks is unfathomable which is why it's so shocking that the Anfield outfit only managed to garner an xG of 0.59.
If Liverpool continue putting in performances like that where they only get out of first gear if they concede then they've got no chance of winning the Champions League or even ending up in the top four.
Something needs to change at Liverpool before it gets too late and, since they've already flipped their entire team inside out this season, their next option will be to change the man at the helm.
Whether that ends up being a mid-season or end of season decision, one thing is for sure, it's all over for the Dutchman at L4.
