Slot promises to keep battling as Liverpools troubles worsen

Arne Slot promised on Thursday to keep battling, noting that his discussions with Liverpools owners remain unchanged despite the teams ongoing struggles.

The Premier League title holders suffered a heavy 4-1 loss at Anfield against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on Wednesday, marking their ninth loss in the last 12 games across all competitions.

Disgruntled supporters began leaving the stadium in large numbers during the closing moments of the game.

Liverpool now head to face a revitalised West Ham on Sunday, eager to climb above their current 12th spot in the Premier League standings.

Slot, who guided Liverpool to the Premier League championship in his debut season last year, expressed assurance after Wednesdays defeat that his position remains secure.

He conducted a press briefing on Thursday to discuss the upcoming clash with West Ham, who appear transformed under their new head coach Nuno Espirito Santo.

At the beginning of the session, the Dutch coach was questioned about any talks with the clubs owners following the PSV encounter.

We have maintained the same dialogues since my arrival, he responded.

We continue to fight and aim to get better, that is our collective goal. Yet the talks have stayed consistent over the last year and a half.

Slot acknowledged that Liverpools performance levels have dropped, but he emphasised that he does not feel disappointed by his squad.

We believe we are capable of playing superior football, he stated. During last seasons strong run, much attention went to specific players, though I always stressed it is about the collective, and the group elevates the players.

When things go the other way, we must examine the team as a whole, not point fingers at individuals.
