Arne Slot is experiencing pressure for the first time as Liverpool manager after four successive defeats in all competitions. The Dutch boss has not always managed to win over his squad, as two former players have made clear.

Ex-Liverpool player Harvey Elliott, who transferred to Aston Villa during the summer transfer window, has previously discussed his relationship with Slot, whose choices left the 22-year-old frustrated. "So there are moments within the season where I am getting angry," said the former Anfield man.

"I am getting frustrated because I want to play but at the same time I need to respect the situation, I need to respect the manager's decisions.

"Some games I'm needed, some games I'm not. That's just how football is. That's why I feel like we're in the position that we are in this season so far because of his decisions."
