Arne Slot had used the phrase “survival mode”. The probability is that Liverpool will not survive this; not in the Champions League, anyway, not when 2-0 down to Paris Saint-Germain, not when a team who did not muster a shot on target in the Parc des Princes may need to score three or four goals next week, not when a side who have lost 16 games this season face the champions of Europe.
The broader question remains if Slot survives a season that has promised so much and delivered so little. Many at the club will hope so, many in the fanbase not.
