Liverpool Head Coach Arne Slot Vows to Keep Fighting Amidst League-Worst Run
In a defiant statement following a crucial meeting with sporting director Richard Hughes, Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has vowed to "fight on" despite his team's alarming nine losses in 12 games. The club is currently experiencing its worst run since the 1953-54 season and faces mounting pressure ahead of Sunday's Premier League trip to West Ham.
Slot admitted that he would have to see how his employers assessed the situation after Wednesday's home reverse, but claimed their stance remained unchanged, saying "we fight on" and "try to improve". The head coach insisted that morale within the team had not deserted them, despite acknowledging that the pressure was rising.
The Liverpool head coach revealed that he had seen a "very difficult five to 10 minutes" after his team fell behind in both defeats, but maintained that they still possess fighting spirit. Slot cited instances where his side generated chances against opponents and highlighted the running statistics, suggesting that their determination has not wavered.
However, the head coach acknowledged that the team's recent struggles had led to a decline in performance in the final minutes of games. He agreed that some players may be struggling with the pressure, but remained confident in the team's overall resolve.
Slot is set to receive backing from key player Alisson, who has recently returned from illness, and could have Hugo EkitikΓ© and Florian Wirtz available for Sunday's match against West Ham. Despite the odds being stacked against them, Slot remains optimistic about his team's prospects.
