"Arne Slot did not hold back as he faced the media ahead of Liverpool's Champions League clash with PSV, describing his side's current form as "ridiculous" and "unbelievable" in a brutally honest assessment of their season so far. The Dutchman admitted that the level of performance has been "unexpected for the club, for me, for everyone," but insisted that adversity would only strengthen Liverpool's resolve."
"Last season, we had let in zero set‑pieces at this time. This season, it's nine. They defended much better in their box than we did in ours. We have to do that better as a team. I showed them how many times they arrived in the box - six or seven times the amount Forest did. But the number of goals we concede is the big difference between this season and the last."
