""I think as a manager you constantly face challenges. So when I just started, you face the challenge of being a new manager and then you need to win games. And when you do well, you go to a bigger club and people are like: 'Let's see how he does over there.' 'Then you go to being the successor of Jurgen Klopp and people say this is the biggest challenge you've ever faced."
""So the life of a football manager is an ongoing challenge. If you win games, you want to keep winning. If you lose games, you want to start winning again. So do we lose confidence? I cannot see it yet because every single game we've lost, we were able to create in the second half an unbelievable amount of chances."
""If you look back at all the three games we've lost in the Premier League, I don't think if you just put all the highlights behind each other, you would say it's hardly possible that they lose this game. So we can keep producing what we are doing and do a few things a little bit better, then there's every reason to expect that we start to win football games again.""
Arne Slot said he does not believe his players have lost confidence but admitted he is facing a 'challenge' at Anfield after Liverpool's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United. The Reds lost to a late Harry Maguire goal and have now suffered four consecutive defeats for the first time since November 2014. The result leaves Liverpool fourth and four points behind leaders Arsenal. Slot framed the situation as one of many managerial challenges, citing his move to a bigger club and succeeding Jurgen Klopp. He emphasized continued chance creation in second halves and said small improvements should restore wins. There was controversy over Bryan Mbeumo's opening goal, with Alexis Mac Allister down with a head injury in the buildup.
