Arne Slot’s Liverpool have steadied with an 11-game unbeaten run but inconsistency remains. Punters might avoid long-term title bets on Liverpool and instead watch manager-change markets or back draws/short-term losses if form dips; an interim appointment (e.g., Steven Gerrard) could trigger a short-term bounce, altering match odds quickly.
Arne Slot’s turbulent first season at Liverpool
Arne Slot’s opening campaign in charge has swung between alarm and recovery. After a severe downturn that saw nine defeats in 12 matches late last year, Liverpool have responded with an 11-game unbeaten run, their last defeat coming in November. Results have improved, but performances have yet to convince large sections of the fanbase and questions remain about consistency across the remainder of the 2025/26 season.
Why an interim manager remains a realistic scenario
Ownership’s cautious approach and a conservative transfer-window stance suggest Slot will likely remain in place for now. However, club insiders stress that an interim appointment cannot be ruled out if Liverpool suffer a repeat collapse of the earlier magnitude. The priority for decision-makers would be to halt any deep slump quickly, even if that means bringing in a temporary stabiliser for the run-in.
Steven Gerrard emerges as a plausible short-term option
Among potential stop-gap choices, club legend Steven Gerrard has been mentioned as someone who could steady the ship. Supporter calls for his return have grown at times this season, and the former captain has indicated he would be willing to assist the club if asked. An interim Gerrard appointment would be viewed primarily as a stabilising move rather than a long-term managerial solution.
Betting-market implications and what punters should watch
The balance between a recent unbeaten run and lingering inconsistency will influence several betting markets. Manager-change markets (next manager and time-to-change odds) could shorten if form dips again. Match odds could swing sharply on any interim appointment, with a short-term “bounce” often improving home-team win probabilities. Conversely, a fresh collapse would make draw/away-bet value more likely in the short term. Punters should monitor transfer-window activity, injury updates and any club statements for signals that might move odds.
