Van Dijk Admits Liverpool 'Gave Up' as Pressure Builds on Slot Before PSG

Club figures signal no immediate plan to sack the head coach despite growing scrutiny.

Overview

  • Captain Virgil van Dijk apologised and said the team gave up during Saturday's 4-0 FA Cup quarter-final loss at Manchester City.
  • Liverpool’s poor run has left them fifth and at risk of missing next season’s Champions League despite being champions last year.
  • Arne Slot said he is helping plan Liverpool’s summer transfers, which he presented as a sign he expects to remain in charge.
  • Reporting cited from a BBC journalist says the club has given no indication of sacking Slot now, with Wednesday’s Champions League first leg at PSG widely viewed as a near-term gauge of his position.
  • Mohamed Salah has confirmed this will be his last season at Liverpool, and close confidant Mohamed Aboutrika blamed Slot for straining the relationship, a claim that remains unverified by the club.
