Why Liverpool won't sack Slot - yet

The context of Slot's arrival is an important one. He's the first major decision of the post-Jurgen Klopp era and more importantly, the first of the Richard Hughes era.

Slot's hiring was backed by the group that plan to lead Liverpool forward and it will be incredibly difficult to turn thir back on that plan. It's admitting defeat - and admitting it shortly after the Premier League title was won.

That's a gigantic decision and a massive blow to those who put all their faith in this plan. They will not make that decision lightly and almost certainly won't make it until there are no more avenues to explore.

One of those avenues is to reshape the team in January, which is a little over a month away. It's very difficult to envision Slot's dismissal before that opportunity arrives.

Now, if the defeats truly keep coming until then, there won't be another choice. But a couple more wins would almost certainly see Slot through to the winter window and give Liverpool a chance to shake things up in a way that isn't as all-encompassing as moving on the head coach.
