"There is a lot of pressure if you play or work at a top club and even more so if you start losing more games than this club or these players or this manager is used to. Then there is always pressure. But there was pressure last season for us to win the league and now it's a different kind of pressure because we have lost so many games."
"What it does to me is I can just do the same, but I don't have to play so maybe my job is a bit easier when it comes to this. I think it is hard for every player when you are in a bad run of results if you go down after three minutes and then play a good first half and then 10 minutes after half-time you again concede."
Arne Slot vowed to continue as Liverpool manager after holding conversations with sporting director Richard Hughes and other senior figures. Liverpool have lost nine of their last 12 matches and suffered a 4-1 UEFA Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven, marking a third consecutive game lost by three or more goals. Slot said club standards have fallen below expectations and insisted the focus must be collective rather than on individuals. He acknowledged intensified pressure at a top club during a poor run and said he will keep working to improve performances and support the players. He noted that conceding early and again shortly after half-time makes recovery difficult for the team.
