Liverpool\u2019s owners may not be happy with how the campaign has gone, but they are not treating Slot like a manager on the edge.<\/p>\n<p>The feeling seems to be that he still has credit in the bank because of what he achieved last season.<\/p>\n<p>Winning a league title is not something a club can just ignore, even when the following year becomes messy.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-stories

miserably this season<\/h2>\n<p>It is clear to see that the wheels have fallen off at Liverpool this season despite their heavy investment in new players.<\/p>\n<p>The signings of Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike and Alexander Isak were expected to elevate the team to a new level but it has completely back fired.<\/p>\n<p>None of the signings have made the desired impact and the Reds are set to end the season without silverware.<\/p>\n<p>It is a bold move from the club to keep the faith in Slot, considering there are options available who could come in to replace him. Xabi Alonso has been recently linked with the Liverpool job.<\/p>\n<p>Many Liverpool fans would clearly love Alonso one day, and if the club ignore that possibility while Slot continues to struggle, the pressure will only grow.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Yan Diomande name-drops Chelsea as Liverpool target breaks silence on transfer situation<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arne Slot\u2019s future at Liverpool has become a major talking point after a season that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8356,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8355"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8355\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
