""When you are Liverpool, the aim is to win the league. We've only done this twice in the last 30 years. The aim is to be competitive in every single competition we are in. "That's always the aim, but the reality is that in the last three years we've won one League Cup and one Premier League title. "What is acceptable? I have my opinion but I'm not going to share that.""
""If we can improve in both boxes, we can do very special things this season," Slot said. "But if we can only improve in one box, then it will probably be an acceptable season but not more than that. "And if we can't improve in both boxes, there's going to be a lot of noise.""
""The outside world has an opinion. As we all know, a lot has been said about the 450m [that Liverpool spent in the summer], but people tend to forget the 300m we bought in.""
Liverpool have won five of their last 18 Premier League games and are sixth in the table, producing external noise and discomfort around the club. The team remains capable of automatic Champions League last-16 qualification and remains in the FA Cup. Improvement in both attacking and defensive areas is presented as the condition for achieving very special things this season, while improvement in only one area would likely make the season merely acceptable. Recent transfer spending figures are noted alongside the club's recent trophy returns, and a winless run in the league has intensified criticism.
