Liverpool suffered four consecutive defeats in the Premier League. Coach Slott was ridiculed by the opponent's fans as "will be fired." He is currently facing the biggest test since coaching Liverpool.

In the 9th round of the Premier League in the early hours of this morning, Liverpool lost 2-3 away to Brentford and suffered a fourth consecutive defeat in the Premier League. The last time Liverpool lost four consecutive games in the Premier League was in the 2020-21 season. In the end, Liverpool barely qualified for the Champions League that season. But Liverpool has now fallen to sixth place in the Premier League standings. If the situation cannot be reversed as soon as possible, Liverpool's qualification for the Champions League may not be guaranteed.

In the 60th minute of the game, Igor Thiago scored a penalty kick to help Brentford lead 3-1. Afterwards, Brentford's home fans shouted in unison to mock Slott: "You will be fired tomorrow!" Slott led Liverpool to win the Premier League championship last season, which was the 20th top league championship in Liverpool's history. Due to Slott's huge contribution, Liverpool management is not currently considering a coaching change.

But Liverpool and team reporter Ian Doyle believes that Slott has faced the biggest test since he coached Liverpool. Last season, Liverpool won the Premier League with a 10-point advantage. This summer, the club spent nearly 450 million pounds to introduce a number of strong players, but Liverpool's current results are obviously unsatisfactory.

In the previous three rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace, Chelsea, and Manchester United with the same score of 1-2. However, those three games can be said to have been very intense and the victory or defeat only happened in a split second. However, Liverpool's performance in the Premier League loss to Brentford in this round was very disappointing. Brentford analyzed previous games in which Liverpool lost consecutive games, formulated targeted tactics, and executed them perfectly on the pitch. Liverpool conceded the ball early in this game and wasted opportunities easily. It was not until the last stage of the game that they tried to tie, but it was too late.

Ian Doyle pointed out that Slott had problems with the starting lineup, substitution adjustments, on-the-spot command, etc. in this game, and the choices he made did not achieve results. In addition, Slott had hoped that some experienced veterans could perform better, and luck was not on Liverpool's side in this game. Brentford got the game-deciding penalty. Liverpool's current performance is really not good enough.
