Liverpool lost again in the Premier League, this time to the penultimate Nottingham Forest (0-3).
Liverpool is the shadow of the champion from last season. On Saturday, against Nottingham Forest (0-3), he recorded his sixth defeat in 12 matches, and he has two more than in the entire 2024-2025 season!
Jurgen Klopp is the bookmakers' favorite, followed by Oliver Glasner
Manager Arne Slot, masterful last season, does not seem to have the key to getting out of the crisis, so the first discussions related to his possible replacement have already appeared. The bookmakers already have a favorite: Jurgen Klopp.
The German left the club in the summer of 2024, exhausted, to take over as global head of football at Red Bull in January 2025. Even if the contract has a release clause only for the German national team, the English give him the favorite to succeed the Dutchman Slot with 4/1.

Bookmakers have placed Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace) in second place at odds of 5/1, followed by Andoni Iraola (6/1) and Julian Naglesmann (14/1).
Arne Slot assumed full responsibility
Arne Slot has taken responsibility for the stinging defeat to Nottingham Forest and admitted the team's form is below expectations. “A big disappointment. In the first 30 minutes we played well. After their goal we didn't look the same.
We didn't create enough chances. I changed a few things but it didn't work. We didn't manage to score. Whether things go well or badly, the responsibility is mine”, said the Dutch technician for BBC Match of the Day.
Arne Slot: “I can't make enough excuses for the way we played and for the results we have”
He claims that “there is a way out, especially with the valuable players we have. I want to emphasize once again that I am responsible for the defeats I have suffered. You are responsible when you win, but also when you lose. That is why I prefer not to talk about arbitration or make other excuses.
I can't make enough excuses for the way we played and the results we got. It is not enough at all, and I am responsible. In the last weeks we missed many chances and the opponents scored from nothing. This can't go on all season. We are in a difficult situation and we need to do even more to achieve favorable results”.
