🔗 Share this article Liverpool Refuses to Alter Offensive Approach In the Face of Current Struggles, Declares Arne Slot The Dutch manager has revealed that the team leadership share his views regarding the poor performance streak and he has no intention of discarding their forward-thinking philosophy in quest for a improvement. The manager acknowledged that six unsuccessful results in seven outings was below standard ahead of Aston Villa's visit. Growing Expectations Throughout Challenging Phase Slot accepted the scrutiny was intense before his rotated squad suffered Carabao Cup elimination against Crystal Palace. However, he insisted that this urgency to stop the losing streak is not coming from the Anfield hierarchy or management structure following a significant spending of nearly £450 million. "We share common perspectives," commented Slot, whose team next week face the Spanish giants in the European competition and play against the Citizens in the domestic competition. Player Depth Stays Undoubted Slot believes his team "boast a remarkable roster if they are completely available and completely set for the schedule ahead". He said that the recent signings in talents including the German international and the Swedish striker, who is probably unavailable again against Aston Villa through fitness issues, had left the club "in such a good place for the immediate prospects and the years to come". Integration Challenges When pressed on why his team were taking so long to gel, he responded: "That's not particularly helpful. 'Why, why, why?' I give an explanation and people say I'm offering alibis. I can come up with five or six reasons why we are underperforming or suffering defeats as we do but, as I consistently state, there are inadequate reasons to have a performance streak as we had now." No matter if I could list numerous reasons When you are Liverpool you should not suffer defeats The reality is six defeats in seven games Defensive Numbers Only the Lancashire club (21) have faced more big chances from regular play this season than Slot's team (19). The first-place team, the Gunners, have conceded only two. Yet the manager disputes the defense has been too vulnerable and asserts there is no justification to abandon offensive philosophy for a defensive approach after ten matches without a shutout. "I don't see us giving up numerous openings so I don't see a reason to change our playing style completely but we need to do better in not conceding goals," he declared. Particular Cases "When facing United, how many opportunities did we allow? When playing Frankfurt when we were ahead by two goals, we scarcely gave up a effort at our net. In all the games we have competed in we haven't conceded a many opportunities. Not at all. We do concede a bit more than the prior term but that is related to us being 1-0 down so you become more adventurous. But overall I don't feel that our challenge is that we allow too many opportunities. Our problem is we are unable to finish the openings we produce."
