Arne Slot promises fightback after Liverpool’s recent struggles

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is aiming to get frustrated fans back onside after accepting he “must have done a lot of things wrong” to incur Anfield’s disapproval.

The team were booed off after conceding a 90th-minute equaliser to Tottenham on Sunday – the first time the Premier League-winning Dutchman has had such an adverse reaction since arriving in the summer of 2024.

While the mood on social media has been anti-Slot for some time during a poor season, last weekend was first time home fans have expressed their feelings so publicly.

Slot said ahead of their Champions League last-16 second leg against Galatasaray, in which they must overturn a 1-0 deficit:

“It’s never nice they are frustrated because usually fans are not frustrated after you win,”

“People told me when I came here that they will support the manager for such a long time, but (if) you are supposing something then I must have done a lot of things wrong.

“That’s never a nice feeling to have because being in the club that’s always so supportive for the manager, in good and bad times, then if they are not happy with me, then apparently I’ve done so many things wrong.

“I did something wrong in the season that we won the league and I definitely did maybe make a few decisions that were not perfect in hindsight.

“But all the decisions I’ve made, I’ve always made for the same reason, for us trying to win the game.

“But I also know how the football industry works. Winning can change a lot. That’s what we are trying to achieve tomorrow and we’re completely ready for that.”
