"Now I think we've been seven or eight games in a row unbeaten, but if you say this you feel like wow, they are flying through the league', but that's not what we're doing. Every single game we play, it's hard work, it's two teams quite close to each other. He added: Hopefully we can find a moment where we can fly through this season, but for the first 19 games it has been a constant battlesometimes a bit lucky, sometimes a bit unlucky."
Liverpool have struggled for consistency in the first half of the season, sitting fourth and 12 points behind Arsenal after 19 games. A 0-0 home draw with Leeds exemplified the team's difficulties in breaking down opponents. Arne Slot characterized many matches as close contests requiring hard work, with fortunes swinging between luck and misfortune. The Reds have gone seven or eight games unbeaten recently, but the run has been more grinding than dominant. The squad seeks a prolonged spell of form to reclaim the fluidity and dominance shown during last season's title-winning campaign.
