Slaughter: The club doesn t tell me every day they trust me, but I can feel it

After Liverpool lost 1-4 to PSV in the Champions League at home, coach Slott analyzed the game at a press conference.

About the changes in the second half

"Mainly after the second goal, although at the beginning of the second half, before they scored, we already had more difficulties than in the first half. We were not as aggressive in pressing as in the first half, which was related to Ekitic feeling a back problem after the break. "Because I always pay attention to the Dutch league, if you are not aggressive enough against PSV, they will use the technical advantages of the players to beat you, and this is what they showed in the second goal." After the second goal, I thought we had a chance to tie the game, but it wasn't the first time this season that we failed to seize the opportunity."

On the issue of individual mistakes

"I think it's always about the team, I think we can do better, individually and overall, I don't think so. Because now is the time to emphasize individual mistakes, we should talk more about team issues rather than individual mistakes, because there will always be individual mistakes in football games. We need to ensure that even if a mistake occurs, we can respond or make up for it in time, and not let it lead to a goal. If it does result in a goal, we need to have enough ability to recover. Back to the game. It's a team question, not a personal one."

On whether it was a tactical decision to replace Konate with Chiesa

"Yes, it was a difficult decision for me because before that moment I thought he was playing well, but when the score became 1-3, I was like. It was a difficult decision because I knew the outside world might pay more attention to his mistakes, but I think it was a decision that had to be made. Unfortunately, it didn't make any difference and instead allowed them to score the fourth goal." "Shocked" by the performance

"It was a blow for everyone, the players, the reporters, myself, everyone. The situation was very unexpected, especially considering the quality we had. Was it a lack of confidence? I didn't see that in the first half. Of course, if we lost 0-3 "I saw the mentality that these players have shown many times since coming here, they tried to counterattack in an ideal way and created some opportunities, and we suppressed the opponent in their half. But after falling behind 1-2, I did see that. Some players were affected, especially when they were down 1-3 and 1-4."

On whether it felt "fair" to discuss your future

"I don't think it matters whether it's fair or not, but it's normal and I can understand it if any coach in the world loses a game. When we lose so many games, people will naturally have opinions. Whether that's fair or not is for other people to judge. But it's normal, when you lose so many games, people start talking about it."

About how "worried" you are about your position

"I don't agree. The quality of the players you are talking about is not reflected, I have seen a lot of players showing their quality but the results are not reflected in the scores or results. I am not worried about my position, my focus is on other things rather than worrying about my position. I try my best to analyze and help the players, obviously I didn't do that like last season. "When it comes to individual mistakes, it's also part of a team effort. So, I need to do better and that's what I'm trying to do every day to improve the team." Supporting you." We have a lot of communication whether we win or lose. They've been very helpful to me and to the team, so we do have those conversations, but they don't call me every day to tell me they still trust me. But we do have normal communication where I can feel the trust. But that I haven't spoken to them yet after a game, so we'll see. "

About how long it takes you to recover from a loss,

"It takes longer than after a win, because after a win you immediately focus on the next game. Now you need to find answers as much as possible. But it's not as simple as people think, if it were simple I would have won the game back with these answers, but the focus is always on preparation for the next game, and that doesn't just mean tactical preparation, it could mean talking to individual players or the whole team tomorrow."

" I tried my best to improve the situation - not only me, but my team also worked very hard, and although it seemed like we didn't do enough after the 0-3 and 1-4 defeats, today I saw a team that tried hard after many setbacks, but ultimately failed to achieve a good result."
