""That is fair to say [this is the toughest season I have had], by a mile," said Slot when asked if it had been a tough campaign. "All of the other seasons I have managed, there were only positives. I don't think I had ever lost two games in a row. It's an exception for me this season and it is for the players, too. They are not used to losing a lot or having a lot of draws. I am not used to that either.""
""It's always more of a challenge after you lose a game of football to get them going again, and after a win, to tell them that we are not as good as they might think they are, so this season has been more challenging for me as well. You also take nice things out of it, though that may sound weird. I also look at how much improvement we are making.""
Liverpool lost 2-1 to Manchester City at Anfield, marking their eighth Premier League defeat of the season. The team sits sixth, five points outside the top four, with only one win in 2026 (D4 L2). Liverpool remain unbeaten in their last 19 Premier League matches against promoted sides but have drawn each of the last four, a run not seen since 1981. The campaign is described as the toughest of the manager's career, featuring rare consecutive defeats and frequent draws. Emphasis is placed on maintaining results while ensuring player and team improvement. Sunderland are the next opponents, having conceded six goals in their last two away games.
