Liverpool have lost nine of their 12 matches in all competitions with a 4-1 humiliation at the hands of PSV Eindhoven at Anfield in the Champions League seriously thought to be mounting the pressure on Arne Slot.
While the former Feyenoord head coach is expected to be in the dugout for the West Ham clash this weekend after also featuring in the press conference, it is fair to say that he is facing a race against time to bring the Reds back on track.
According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool have already begun searching for prospective replacements for their man in charge, and are interested in bringing Ange Postecoglou to Anfield with the Australian available to start immediately.
Postecoglou was sacked by Nottingham Forest and Tottenham Hotspur in the space of a few months, but guided the Lilywhites to Europa League glory this summer, thus ending a 17-year wait for silverware.
Postecoglou a decent option for Liverpool
If Liverpool indeed fire Arne Slot, Ange Postecoglou promises to be a decent option for them, especially as the former Celtic manager's calming personality and experience will help him gather the dressing room together for the festive run of fixtures.
He has been successful at Celtic and at Tottenham Hotspur, alongside elsewhere in the world, but the Liverpool challenge will undoubtedly be the biggest job he would possibly accept, so it will be exciting to see how he performs with them.
Tactically, the former Australia head coach employs an aggressive high-intensity offensive style, and with Jurgen Klopp's impact still fresh at the club, Postecoglou could help the squad tick if he manages to fix some of Liverpool's creative and defensive woes.
Slot will have the West Ham game on Sunday to begin an upward surge in form, but defeat against another one of the Premier League's relegation-threatened sides could spell the end for the Dutchman's reign as the Liverpool boss.
