🔗 Share this article Liverpool Vows Not to Abandon Attacking Style Despite Poor Run of Form, Says Slot Arne Slot has announced that the team leadership agree with his assessment regarding the poor performance streak and he has no intention of discarding their attacking style in search of a improvement. The head coach admitted that six unsuccessful results in seven matches was not good enough ahead of Saturday's match against Aston Villa. Increasing Scrutiny Amid Difficult Period Slot accepted the expectations were high before his makeshift team suffered Carabao Cup elimination against the London club. However, he emphasized that this pressure to arrest the slide is not coming from the team's proprietors or football administration following a significant spending of approximately £450 million. "Our views align," commented Slot, whose team next week face Real Madrid in the Champions League and travel to Manchester City in the Premier League. Player Depth Remains Unchallenged The coach is convinced his team "boast a remarkable roster if they are fully healthy and completely set for the fixture list". He noted that the recent signings in footballers like the attacking midfielder and Alexander Isak, who is expected to be sidelined again against Villa through fitness issues, had left the club "in a strong situation for the immediate prospects and the long-term future". Gelling Difficulties When pressed on why his team were struggling to integrate, he answered: "That question isn't constructive. 'Why, why, why?' I give an explanation and people say I'm coming up with excuses. I can identify multiple factors why we are struggling for victories or losing as much as we do but, as I consistently state, there are insufficient justifications to have a performance streak as we had now." No matter if I could list 200 excuses As Liverpool manager you should not suffer defeats The reality is six defeats in seven games Backline Performance Only the Lancashire club (21) have allowed more significant openings from normal situations this season than Liverpool (19). The table-toppers, Arsenal, have conceded only two. Yet Slot denies the team has been overly exposed and claims there is no reason to compromise forward-thinking approach for a defensive approach after 10 games without a shutout. "In my view we're not allowing many opportunities so I find no basis to modify our philosophy entirely but we have to enhance in preventing goals," he declared. Particular Cases "Versus the Red Devils, how many openings did we give up? Against Eintracht Frankfurt when we were ahead by two goals, we scarcely gave up a shot on target. In each fixture we played until now we haven't conceded a numerous openings. Absolutely not. We do allow a bit more than the prior term but that has to do with us being trailing by a goal so you play more openly. But overall I don't think that our challenge is that we allow too many opportunities. Our problem is we fail to convert the openings we produce."
