Liverpool’s head coach Arne Slot has affirmed his commitment to the club, stating he will “fight on” despite the team suffering a dismal run of nine losses in their last twelve matches. This represents the club’s poorest sequence of results in over seventy years.
Following a Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven, Slot held discussions with the club’s sporting director. He emerged from the meeting asserting that he retains the full backing of the club’s leadership.
Addressing the team’s recent form, Slot acknowledged a difficult period in the most recent match, describing a “very difficult five to 10 minutes” after conceding multiple goals where the players’ spirit visibly dipped. However, he was quick to defend the overall character of his squad.
He pointed to performance data and the number of scoring opportunities generated even when behind as evidence that the team has not given up. The manager insisted that for the vast majority of recent games, he has witnessed a team continuing to battle against a tide of setbacks, though he conceded the final moments of the last two defeats fell below that standard.
Slot emphasized that while fight is essential, it must be combined with quality in decisive moments to secure victories. He confirmed that the return of several key players from illness and injury could provide a boost for the team’s upcoming league fixture.
