Despite going through a difficult streak, coach Arne Slot affirms he continues to enjoy complete trust from Liverpool’s leadership, even as the “Red Brigade” faces a severe crisis in both form and squad strength.

Liverpool will visit Aston Villa this weekend carrying heavy concerns: they have lost 6 of their last 7 matches across all competitions, including 4 consecutive defeats in the Premier League. Earlier this week, the Merseyside team was also knocked out of the League Cup by Crystal Palace, increasing the pressure on the Dutch coach.

HLV Liverpool lên tiếng giữa tin đồn bị sa thải 732597 — Liverpool’s position in the Premier League has shifted significantly after matchday 9.

However, according to British media, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), Liverpool’s owner, has no plans to dismiss Slot yet. Instead, they want to give him more time to stabilize the squad and regain a winning trajectory.

Speaking to the press, Slot said he still clearly feels the backing from the club’s management: “Our conversations continue as usual. They say the same things as before, and they see what I see. Of course, talking after a win is more pleasant than after a loss, but the trust remains unchanged,” the 46-year-old strategist stated.

Slot also acknowledged that injuries have been a major factor in Liverpool’s decline. He has lost many key players such as Alexander Isak, Alexis Mac Allister, and Ryan Gravenberch for most of his tenure. “If everyone were healthy, Liverpool would be an extremely strong team. This squad has great potential, both now and in the future,” he emphasized.

The Dutch coach mentioned that he does not use injuries as an excuse for the defeats but rather to explain the constant changes in personnel. “We have a fantastic squad, but losing four key players at once makes maintaining performance very difficult,” Slot shared.

Amid the storm of criticism, Arne Slot remains calm and optimistic, which experts consider a crucial factor for Liverpool to overcome the current crisis. To boost the team’s morale, The Kop must secure a victory against Aston Villa in Premier League matchday 10, with the game kicking off at 3:00 AM on November 2nd.
