Slot Under Fire As Liverpool Face Make-Or-Break Trip To Forest

Arne Slot
November 2025

Liverpool’s 3-0 collapse at Manchester City has left Arne Slot under growing scrutiny, with pundits warning that another slip-up against struggling Nottingham Forest could deepen an alarming run of seven defeats in ten games and drag the reigning champions further from the title race. Don Hutchison argues Slot must finally settle on a clear system that fits Liverpool’s biggest names during a softer run of fixtures, insisting this stretch against bottom-half opposition is where a convincing plan, consistent line-ups and sustained results must appear or pressure will quickly escalate.

PGMOL backs VAR: Van Dijk equaliser rightly ruled out

Virgil van Dijk
November 2025

PGMOL confirmed the offside decision that cancelled Van Dijk’s header versus Manchester City was correct, citing Andy Robertson’s offside position and clear ducking action near the goalkeeper as interfering with play under Law 11. Liverpool had lodged a formal complaint. Webb explained the on-field team judged Robertson’s movement affected the keeper’s ability to attempt a save and VAR upheld it as not “clearly and obviously wrong.” The call remained subjective but within protocol, closing Liverpool’s challenge despite ongoing debate over interference thresholds.

Liverpool’s 3–0 defeat included a disallowed Van Dijk header for offside interference by Andy Robertson. Slot argued Robertson didn’t impede Gianluigi Donnarumma’s line of sight and cited prior precedent, calling the decision “influential” given Liverpool’s poor first-half level and fragile game state. VAR judged Robertson—three yards offside and ducking under the flight—to impact play. Slot contrasted consistency with a John Stones goal allowed last season, contending delayed flag/communication swayed outcome. He admitted Liverpool’s first-half issues but maintained 1–1 would have materially altered approach and momentum.

Liverpool’s priorities: cleaner set-piece defending, sharper counter-press, and giving Wirtz consistent zones between lines to lift chance creation while Salah’s role is carefully re-optimized.
