Despite Liverpool’s crisis, Arne Slot vows to keep fighting | OneFootball

Shaken by the crisis at Liverpool after a series of defeats, coach Arne Slot said in a press conference this Thursday that he wants to “keep fighting” and stated that he has the support of his staff.

“We keep taking blow after blow. It’s tough. But that’s why I say we have to keep fighting,” said Slot, a day after the heavy defeat at home against PSV Eindhoven (4-1) in the Champions League, with some fans leaving Anfield before the end of the match.

Despite the tough defeat, the ninth in the last 12 games across all competitions, the Dutch coach assured that he has been having “the same conversations [with the club’s owners] since I arrived here.”

Current English champions, Liverpool sits in a modest 12th place in the Premier League, ahead of their visit to West Ham next Sunday, for the 13th round.

The team is expected to have Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson back, who missed the match against PSV, while forward Florian Wirtz, who suffered a muscle injury while on duty with the German national team, may return to training on Saturday.

“We can do much better”

“We believe we can do much better than we are doing right now,” said Slot, who claims he has not lost faith in his players.

“Last year, when we were playing really well, everyone talked about certain players individually and I always say you have to talk about the team. It’s the team that makes the players shine. And it’s the same when we’re playing badly: you have to talk about the team, not the players individually,” concluded the coach.
