"I find it really hard to hear but I would not completely disagree, said Slot, who could be without Hugo Ekitike for a second successive game. I would use different words and I would take certain things into account. I want to win as many trophies as I can but I think I am also known for the fact that my teams always try to play attacking football and I can only say they're trying to do so."
"We are struggling to create a lot of chances. But I've said many times, we are not the only team that struggles to create a lot of chances. I don't like to hear this [boring label] of course. I would like us winning a lot of games but also playing an attractive style of football which we have done this season."
Arne Slot acknowledges criticism that Liverpool's play is boring and accepts some validity while defending an attacking philosophy. Liverpool stabilised after a damaging run of nine defeats in 12 matches with a nine-game unbeaten streak but performances remain unconvincing. Successive draws with Fulham and Leeds left the champions 14 points behind leaders Arsenal ahead of the Emirates meeting. The team struggles to create chances and to break down opponents who adopt unattractive, pragmatic tactics. Slot emphasizes a desire to win trophies, insists the team attempts attacking football, and says staff and players are working daily to find solutions.
