FSG now have the PERFECT chance to sack Arne Slot | OneFootball

Arne Slot led Liverpool to yet another defeat on Saturday as his team were beaten 2-1 by Brighton.

The Seagulls outclassed the Anfield outfit in every way possible with players such as Yankuba Minteh making Florian Wirtz look bad.

Indeed, Hugo Ekitike's injury in the third minute of the clash will not have helped matters but, even with Cody Gakpo and Wirtz leading the line, the Reds should have done much better.

Liverpool have gone six weeks without a Premier League win after their defeat against Brighton and now, Slot's job feels like its more on the line than ever.

Although Fenway Sports Group aren't known for getting rid of their managers prematurely, it doesn't really feel like they have many more options available to them.

Slot has massively underdelivered this season and, even though Liverpool may be in the quarter finals of the Champions League, he doesn't feel like the right man for the Reds to finish the season with.

His tactics across the season have been confusing and, even though certain players have been nowhere near as good as they needed to be, he's still chosen to stick by them and put them into his starting XI.

And, even though FSG may want to keep Slot around due to his performances in the Champions League, it's unclear whether he'll have what it takes to beat Paris Saint-Germain.

That is, especially after what happened the last time that both teams met in the 2024-25 campaign.

And now that the international break is just around the corner, it feels like it could be the perfect chance for Slot to be shown the exit door.

Why Arne Slot must be sacked by Liverpool during the international break

Seeing as though most of Liverpool's first-team squad will be representing their countries over the next couple of weeks, there isn't really a better time for FSG to make a change.

The two week break from domestic football would give the club plenty of time to source Slot's replacement and would also allow the new manager to gain an understanding about the players he has at his disposal.

However, if FSG don't get rid of the Dutchman during this two-week window and choose to do so upon their return, they'd have much less time to prepare which would be far from ideal.

Liverpool's entire season rests on their two upcoming games against PSG and, if they end up getting knocked out of the competition or end up getting pummelled during the first leg, it would be no good for anyone.

Xabi Alonso and Steven Gerrard are very likely to step in and take over if called upon and to be honest, it's clear that Slot's time at the helm has come to its natural end.

Hence why, it's now or never to sack the Dutchman, especially if they want to end the season on a positive note.
