"At a press conference to preview the West Ham game on Thursday, scheduled before the PSV defeat, he claimed their stance remained unchanged. We've had the same conversations as we've had since I'm here, he said. Not sure if I said it last night, but we fight on. We try to improve, that's what we all try, but the conversations have been the same as they've been for the past one and a half years."
"Slot conceded that the pressure is rising amid Liverpool's worst run for 71 years, yet denied being let down by his players or that morale has deserted them. I didn't see morale being low at the start of the game or at 1-0 yesterday but after the third, fourth or fifth knock I saw a very difficult five to 10 minutes, he said."
"The Liverpool head coach met the club's sporting director, Richard Hughes, on Thursday to dissect the Champions League defeat by PSV that extended his team's dire run to nine losses in 12 games. It is Liverpool's worst sequence of results since an identical run in 1953-54 and has heightened the pressure on Slot before Sunday's Premier League trip to West Ham."
Arne Slot has vowed to continue as Liverpool head coach despite a run of nine losses in 12 games and mounting criticism. He met sporting director Richard Hughes to review the Champions League defeat by PSV that deepened the poor run, Liverpool's worst sequence since 1953-54. Slot said the club's conversations with him remained consistent and that he intends to fight on and work to improve. He acknowledged rising pressure ahead of the West Ham trip but rejected suggestions his players had let him down or that overall morale had collapsed, describing only a brief difficult spell during the match.
