""It is ridiculous," Slot said. "It is unbelievable. I have said many times you will never find enough excuses for us to perform like this. It's unexpected for the club, for me, for everyone. But this is maybe the best club to face it, the harder it gets at this club, the more we are together. In order to stay calm, I don't find it that difficult to do. It's in my character. Most people would describe me as a calm person.""
""To be honest, I didn't expect myself to be in this situation with the way we go about it tactically and the quality of players we have. You would never have expected us to have lost so much. You can constantly use facts and figures. You can say it's the sixth match we've lost out of seven in the Premier League.""
Liverpool have lost six of seven Premier League matches and sit 12th in the table, 11 points behind leaders Arsenal. Consecutive three-goal defeats occurred for the first time since 1965, including a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest. Guilt was expressed about the poor form, and recent results were described as "ridiculous" and "unbelievable." League performance contrasts with Champions League results, where three wins were recorded. Tactical approach and player quality were cited as reasons why current results were unexpected. The club's hopes of retaining the title are now bleak and pressure on performance remains high.
