Jamie Carragher claims Arne Slot ‘has a week’ to save his Liverpool job

Key Highlights

• Writing last week, he declared: “Arne Slot has a week to save his job,” before stressing: “Anything fewer than seven points will make an already unacceptable situation untenable.”Liverpool have taken four points from their first two games of this decisive stretch, beating West Ham before the 1-1 draw with Sunderland.
• The trip to Leeds now becomes the hinge on which the entire equation turns. Carragher’s wider critique has landed firmly.
• Liverpool “cannot sustain the drop in standards witnessed over the past three months,” he argued, urging recognition of how much the slide would hurt “everyone connected with my old club.” His commentary on Sunderland’s goal, when Chemsdine Talbi’s strike deflected off Virgil van Dijk, carried the same sharpness.

• Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris admitted his side were “maybe a bit surprised to have controlled the game,” a remark that underlined why concerns are intensifying ahead of Elland Road.
