"Arne Slot insists there have been no crisis talks with the Liverpool board today following last night's 4-1 thrashing by PSV Eindhoven. Slot's position at Anfield is starting to come under scrutiny after a miserable run that has seen the Premier League champions lose nine of their last 12 games in all competitions. Liverpool were expected to bounce back from Saturday's 3-0 horror show against Nottingham Forest against PSV but produced another sub-standard display to slip to 13th in the Champions League table."
"Slot admitted he had spoken to people above him but insisted they were routine talks. "We've had the same conversations as we've had since I've been here," he said. "We fight on. And we try to improve, that is what we all try. The conversations have been the same as the last 18 months." Liverpool's players have done a lot of talking in recent weeks - led by captain Virgil van Dijk, who gave away a penalty as part of a shambolic display against PSV"
"Asked if he felt let down by certain players, Slot replied: "No, not at all. Although I do agree that our standards,[as a] team, have not been at the standard we're used to. We think we can play better than we do. The focus is on the team not the individuals. If the opposite is happening, we look at the team not the individuals.""
