Dominik Szoboszlai gives his verdict on Arne Slot after recent struggles
Arne Slotâs time at Liverpool has been a topic of increasing scrutiny during the 2025/26 season. The Reds have struggled, suffering 11 Premier League defeats so farâ their worst record since the 2014/15 campaign under Brendan Rodgers. Despite this, Liverpoolâs management has expressed continued support for Slot.
In the face of mounting pressure, one of the clubâs brightest stars, Dominik Szoboszlai, has come out in strong support of his manager, quelling rumours of unrest in the dressing room.
Despite the challenges Liverpool have faced this season, Szoboszlai remains firmly behind Slot. The Hungarian midfielder, who has been one of the few consistent performers for the Reds, dismissed suggestions that the squad has lost faith in their manager. In a statement posted by Fabrizio Romano on X, Szoboszlai made it clear that Slotâs position at the helm is not in question from the playersâ perspective.
âThatâs not a question at all. Heâs our manager. And we are in his second season. In his first season, donât forget, we won the Premier League. So no one lost faith in him from our side,â said Szoboszlai.
His comments highlight the significant achievement of Slotâs first season, where Liverpool clinched the Premier League title. This serves as a reminder that, despite a difficult season, Slotâs managerial abilities were proven just a year ago.
When Slot took charge in May 2024, following JĂŒrgen Kloppâs departure, expectations were high. The Dutchman quickly made an impact, leading Liverpool to a long-awaited Premier League title, their first since 2020. The Reds played an aggressive brand of football under Slot, which invigorated both players and fans alike.

However, the 2025/26 season has presented a different challenge. The departure of key players such as Luis Diaz and Darwin NĂșñez, coupled with changes in the starting lineup, has left Liverpool lacking the intensity that saw them top the league the previous season. The most notable change has been the reduced role of Andy Robertson, a player who was a central figure during Kloppâs tenure. With these changes, Liverpool has struggled to replicate their previous form.
The current situation at Liverpool has led to increased pressure on Slot. Fans have begun to voice their dissatisfaction with the teamâs performances, with many feeling that the side has lost its edge.
The clubâs management, however, remains committed to Slot, for now. Itâs evident that improvements will need to be made in the second half of 2026 for Slot to retain the trust of the board and supporters. Thereâs still plenty of time for Liverpool to turn things around, but with each passing match, the weight of expectation grows heavier.
As Szoboszlai mentioned, Slotâs track record from his first season remains significant. If Liverpool can build on that foundation and restore the momentum, thereâs still a chance for the team to return to their previous heights under the Dutchmanâs leadership.
