Liverpool Make Arne Slot Sack Decision After Disastrous Crystal Palace Defeat

Published

on

 

 

The Premier League side exited the Carabao Cup with a defeat against Crystal Palace at Anfield.

 

 

Liverpool’s hierarchy have reportedly made a decision with regards to Arne Slot’s future following the Reds’ 3-0 defeat against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup fourth round.

 

A much-changed Liverpool side, featuring debutants Freddie Woodman and Kieran Morrison, fell to yet another defeat to Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

 

The south London club recorded their third victory over Liverpool this term, having beaten them in both the Community Shield and Premier League already this season.

 

Two first-half strikes from Eagles winger Ismaila Sarr saw Glasner’s side go in 2-0 up at half-time with Liverpool struggling in attacking areas.

 

The home side’s evening was summed up when 18-year-old defender Amara Nallo achieved the unwanted feat of being sent off for the second time in just two senior appearances during the 79th minute, having only been on the pitch for a combined 16 minutes across his two games. Then, three minutes from time, Yeremy Pino made it 3-0 to the away side in the driving rain.

 

The loss was Liverpool’s sixth in their last seven matches, with the only victory in this run coming via a 5-1 triumph against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League.

 

 

Crystal Palace beat Liverpool 3-0

So, with Liverpool out of the League Cup and falling behind Arsenal in the Premier League title race, questions are starting to be asked of Slot and his team despite the Dutchman obviously having so-called ‘money in the bank’ after winning the title in his maiden season as boss.

And Liverpool’s fixtures will not get any easier in the coming weeks as they welcome the in-form Aston Villa to Anfield on Saturday before facing Real Madrid at home in the Champions League, ahead of travelling to the Etihad to face Manchester City just five days later.

 

If results do not change, pressure will inevitably continue to grow in relation to Slot’s position with journalist Fabrizio Romano revealing what he knows about how Liverpool’s hierarchy are feeling about the current situation when he spoke on his YouTube channel.

 

 

Arne Slot is Liverpool head coach

 

“Liverpool absolutely internally… and when I say internally, it’s the hierarchy, the ownership, all the people at the club, really, really trust Arne Slot,” Romano said

 

“They are 100 percent convinced that Arne Slot is the best manager to handle this situation.

 

“Obviously, it’s been a poor start to the season, but Liverpool are convinced everything will be okay, that it’s going to take some time to assess the squad with the new signings, to change something, to be back to the attitude from last season.

 

“But Liverpool have full trust in Slot. There is very good communication on a daily basis between the directors, all the people at the club in the management, and Arne Slot.”

Arne Slot Told He Must Start Liverpool Star Following Crystal Palace Performance

 

Arne Slot made ten changes and handed two players their debuts against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup.

 

 

 

Several Liverpool supporters took to social media to praise a certain player after watching his first-half performance against Crystal Palace.

 

Liverpool faced Oliver Glasner’s Palace side, who previously defeated the Reds in the Community Shield and Premier League earlier this season, in the Carabao Cup fourth round at Anfield on Wednesday.

 

And as expected, head coach Arne Slot made ten changes with Andrew Robertson captaining the side while Freddie Woodman and Kieran Morrison were both handed their Liverpool debuts by the Dutchman.

 

Left-back Milos Kerkez was the only player to retain his place from the weekend defeat away against Brentford.

 

Speaking ahead of the game, Slot gave his reasons for the changes and was keen to stress that the competition was ideal to “create a pathway” for young players, while the “other reason” was due to the Premier League champions having “four or five injuries”.

Usual starter Alexis Mac Allister also returned to the starting XI alongside Trey Nyoni and Wataru Endo.

 

 

And despite many starlets being on show – including highly-rated prospect Rio Ngumoha – it was another Liverpool winger who really impressed the Anfield faithful despite the Reds trailing 2-0, thanks to Ismaila Sarr’s brace, at half-time.

 

Fans on social media were quick to praise Federico Chiesa for his energetic showing on Wednesday evening with some calling for him to start more often.

One fan said: “And the boss won’t start him after this beautiful performance so far.”

 

Another added: “I’d go to war with him knowing I’m fully covered.”

 

A third claimed: “Chiesa is on a mission to win this game on his own. What a player.”

 

While a fourth commented: “Nothing will ever make me not love Chiesa.”

 

Chiesa, 28, who joined Liverpool from Juventus in the summer of 2024, played just six times in the Premier League during the side’s title-winning 2024/25 campaign but is quickly becoming a fan favourite on Merseyside due to his relentless running and willingness to prove he belongs at the club.

 

Speaking earlier this week, the Italy international explained that the reasons he didn’t play as much as expected last term were because he “wasn’t fit enough” or “mentally ready” before maintaining that playing well and ultimately impressing Slot was now his main goal moving forward.

Liverpool deal ‘agreed’ as Marc Guehi update drops after Arsenal play their hand

Published

on

As of today there is no confirmed transfer that Liverpool have signed Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace.

 

 

 

 

There are only ongoing transfer rumours and interest reports — but no official confirmation that the move has happened. �

Sky Sports +1

📌 Current Situation

Marc Guehi is still a Crystal Palace player and is expected to continue there this season — Palace boss Oliver Glasner has said he believes Guehi will remain at Selhurst Park this January. �

Sky Sports

His contract expires at the end of the season and he refused a new deal, so he’s likely to leave when that contract ends. �

Sky Sports

Liverpool remain interested, but according to reliable sources they are not planning to complete the transfer now; they may wait for Guehi to move as a free agent in summer 2026. �

Goal

🚨 Rumours (but not confirmed)

Liverpool had a bid in the past, and discussions have taken place, but Crystal Palace blocked the deal previously because they couldn’t secure a replacement. �

Goal

Other clubs (e.g., Arsenal, Manchester City and Real Madrid) have also shown interest. �

✅ Official stance: No, Liverpool have not confirmed the signing of Marc Guehi.

Arsenal transfer news: Ethan Nwaneri reaches exit decision as £80m agreement eyed

 

Mirror Football brings you a round-up of the latest transfer news surrounding Arsenal

 

Mikel Arteta is hoping his Arsenal team can go all the way this season

 

Arsenal may be in the midst of a title race but they are still working quietly behind the scenes on transfers. Mikel Arteta has already admitted the club is willing to spend in January should the opportunity arise.

 

Heading into the Premier League clash with Liverpool on Thursday night, the Gunners hold a five-point advantage over rivals Manchester City, with an opportunity to stretch that to eight points after 21 games with a win over the title holders.

 

 

Arteta’s stacked squad, thanks to a summer of heavy expenditure on quality players, ensured they came out of an injury-riddled past four months unscathed, as some key players recently made their return to fitness.

 

Yet, in a division as tough as this and with four trophies to fight for, there is always room for squad improvement. Here, Mirror Football brings you two of the latest transfer developments involving the north London club.

Ethan Nwaneri makes exit decision

 

Ethan Nwaneri reportedly wants to stay and fight for his place in the Arsenal team for the remainder of the season. The 18-year-old has attracted attention from Bournemouth this month, with the Premier League side eager to sign him on loan until the end of this campaign following the sale of Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City.

 

There is a sense that a temporary move would benefit Nwaneri given his lack of playing time this season. The Hale End academy product has been left out of the last few matchday squads after seeing his playing time decrease drastically compared to last season. He has made only six Premier League appearances since scoring four league goals in 26 matches last term.

With the likes of Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze and now injury returnee Kai Havertz ahead of the youngster in the pecking order, some believe Nwaneri needs a move to continue his progression. However, Arsenal do not want to sell the player due to his obvious talent.

 

The Independent reports Nwaneri feels he can learn more by being part of a serious title challenge, meaning he is happy to remain patient and assess his situation at the end of the season, when he may well have a league trophy to his name.
