Arne Slot Says ‘Smack In The Face’ Actually ‘Felt Like A Punch’ As Liverpool Fans Slam Poor Run

Liverpool’s season continues to spiral as the Reds suffered a crushing 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest at Anfield, leaving them 11th in the Premier League after six losses in seven matches. The defending champions are struggling to find form, and manager Arne Slot has come under heavy fire from fans following comments he made after the damaging loss.


Slot’s Comments Stir Fan Backlash

Ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League clash with PSV Eindhoven, Slot described the loss to Forest as a “smack in the face.” However, the remark sparked outrage among supporters who feel the Dutch manager has been downplaying the club’s ongoing struggles.

Twitter users didn’t hold back:

  • @aeren__09: “What about the 5 losses before that?”

  • @Bishop_Yayo: “Oh dear lord…. The other defeats had no effect on yous? ”

  • @Northeastred: “We’ve had that many ‘smacks in the face’ recently we must be punch drunk by now…”

  • @easykilltv: “Felt like a full blown punch to the face for me along with the other defeats.”

  • @Jcf1081: “Losing to Man United at home wasn’t? Standards are in the bin at this club with this clown in charge.”


Slot Admits Responsibility

The Reds boss admitted the situation is dire, acknowledging the team’s defensive frailties and his own accountability:

“It’s ridiculous, unbelievable. You will never find enough excuses for us to perform like this… I take the responsibility, I feel guilty for it. We are busy working on it.”

Slot added that he is trying to lead by example and push his players to give extra effort despite the challenging spell.


Liverpool Fans Demand Change

With the Premier League and Champions League campaigns underway, Liverpool supporters are frustrated and calling for more decisive leadership and improvements. The Anfield faithful are looking for a response against PSV and better consistency in domestic fixtures as the pressure mounts on Slot.
