Liverpool Boss Arne Slot Feels Fully Supported Amid Pressure

Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has reiterated that he feels complete support from the club's hierarchy and fans, despite facing mounting pressure after a dismal run of results. The Reds have lost three consecutive games, including a 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final and a 4-0 loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup. However, Slot remains upbeat, citing the support of the owners, Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards, as well as the fans, who have continued to back the team despite the poor form. 'I am repeating myself a lot, but I have said many times, I feel a lot of support,' Slot said in his press conference ahead of facing Fulham. 'Not only from the owners, but as weird as it sounds, I feel the support of the fans.' Liverpool are currently fifth in the Premier League, just one point ahead of Chelsea in sixth, and Slot is aware of the pressure to secure a top-five spot. 'We faced the champions of Europe and experienced, on that evening, not at the level we want to be,' he added. 'The good thing is that in four or five days, we have another chance to show we can be much more competitive than we were.' The return of club-record signing Alexander Isak from injury is a welcome boost for the Reds, and Slot is hopeful that the striker can make a significant impact. 'Alex is available for us again, which is vital for us, of course,' he said. 'It was hard for us to convert chances to goals, and he has been a goalscorer his whole life. To have him back is really nice.'
