Arne Slot is running out of opportunities to prove himself as Liverpool boss after yet another slip-up against Wolves at Molineux Stadium.

The Reds looked ready to seal a comeback on Tuesday, 3 March, after Mohamed Salah cancelled out Rodrigo Gomes’ opener in the 83rd minute, but the complete opposite happened.

Rob Edwards’ side broke free once again, with Andre’s deflected shot alluding Alisson, sparking absolute bedlam in the stands in what was just the Old Gold’s third win of the Premier League season.

Stefan Borson told Football Insider that Slot is likely to be sacked without Champions League qualification, and Wolves have just edged him closer to the Anfield exit doors.

Arne Slot could be sacked before the end of the season

The Reds are three points outside the Champions League spots, and with Aston Villa, Chelsea and Man United all scrapping for the same spots, anything could happen in the remaining matches.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live (3 March) before the game, transcribed by BBC Sport, Stephen Warnock said: “Liverpool are nowhere near where they would like to be. When you think about reigning champions and the title defence, it’s not gone to plan at all.

“There is a lot of talk about Arne Slot and what possibly might happen at the end of the season, and I think if he doesn’t get Champions League football, I wouldn’t be surprised if the club made a change.“

The result brought an end to Liverpool’s four-game winning streak across all competitions, with attention now turning to the FA Cup and Champions League in the upcoming days.

Liverpool fans make their feelings clear over Slot’s future

The consensus over Slot’s future at Anfield is blatantly clear.

Liverpool supporters are absolutely furious, and the majority of those on social media are ready for a change in the dugout.

Several big names are still available, such as Xabi Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi, but it remains to be seen if the hierarchy can make such a huge call despite him winning the Premier League title last season.

The Dutchman deserves a bit of a grace period for his early achievements, but at this point, it seems like a matter of when, not if, over his potential sack on Merseyside.
