Arne Slot looks to be days away from the sack at Liverpool after his side were smashed by PSG on Wednesday.

The Reds were ultimately fortunate to only lose 2-0 at Parc des Princes, with the European champions generating all manner of chances.

Desire Doue put the home side ahead in the 11th minute when his effort took a massive deflection and looped over Giorgi Mamardashvili.

The Georgian would make several saves to keep his side in the game until Khvicha Kvaratskhelia broke through after the break and made no mistake.

Liverpool’s manager will need a miracle at Anfield next week, with Slot now finding himself under massive pressure.

Bookies slash Arne Slot odds further

Former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness exclusively told Football Insider on Wednesday that Liverpool players are not fighting for Slot.

It was evident on Wednesday, with the Reds’ failure to even produce a single shot on target in a damning indictment of the Dutchman.

Liverpool have lost their last three games across all competitions, and now find themselves having won just two of their last eight.

Frustration against Slot has been building for months now, and it feels as if the boiling point has already been reached and surpassed.

Decision-makers at Anfield have looked determined to back the 47-year-old, but patience will eventually run out.

Should Liverpool be knocked out of the Champions League next week, they will have six final Premier League games to at least salvage qualification for the tournament next season.

Arsenal’s win on Tuesday has confirmed that England will have five places in Europe’s top competition, and the Reds still have several teams hot on their tail.

Even that is unlikely to be enough to save his job, however. One major bookmaker has slashed Slot’s odds of being the next Premier League manager to face the sack to just 11/8 after Wednesday’s events.

Jamie Carragher slams Liverpool performance

Wednesday’s defeat could be best described as men against boys. PSG pulled apart the Premier League champions, who did not lay a finger on their opponents.

“That was like watching a team from a lower division,” Jamie Carragher told CBS Sports Golazo after the game. The gulf in class, very worrying from a Liverpool point of view.”

Currently, there is still a feeling that Liverpool will allow Slot to see out the campaign before making a change in the summer.

Should the Reds lose to Fulham on Saturday, however, decision-makers could be forced into taking early action.
