đź”— Share this article Liverpool Refuses to Alter Attacking Style Despite Current Struggles, Declares Arne Slot The Dutch manager has announced that the club's hierarchy are aligned with his perspective regarding the team's slump and he refuses to compromise their offensive approach in search of a solution. The tactician conceded that six losses in seven games was unacceptable ahead of Aston Villa's visit. Pressure Mounting Amid Difficult Period The manager acknowledged the expectations were high before his altered lineup were eliminated from the Carabao Cup against Crystal Palace. However, he insisted that this need to reverse the decline is not coming from the team's proprietors or management structure following a significant spending of almost ÂŁ450m. "They say similar things," commented the manager, whose squad will encounter Real Madrid in the continental tournament and travel to Pep Guardiola's side in the Premier League. Player Depth Stays Unquestioned Liverpool's manager thinks his team "boast a remarkable roster if they are completely available and completely set for the fixture list". He mentioned that the transfer window acquisitions in players such as the German international and the Swedish striker, who is expected to be sidelined again against the Birmingham club through injury, had left the club "in a strong situation for the immediate prospects and the years to come". Gelling Difficulties When pressed on why his team were taking so long to gel, he answered: "That question isn't constructive. 'Why, why, why?' I provide reasons and people say I'm coming up with excuses. I can come up with several explanations why we are underperforming or suffering defeats as we do but, as I consistently state, there are never enough excuses to have a results sequence as we had now." Regardless of whether I could identify multiple factors Leading this club you should not suffer defeats Unfortunately six defeats in seven games Defensive Numbers Only the Lancashire club (21) have conceded more clear opportunities from open play this season than Slot's team (nineteen). The first-place team, Arsenal, have conceded only two. Yet Liverpool's coach rejects the champions have been too open and asserts there is no basis to sacrifice his attacking principles for a defensive approach after ten matches without a shutout. "I don't see us allowing many opportunities so I don't see a reason to modify our philosophy totally but we have to enhance in keeping clean sheets," he declared. Particular Cases "Against Manchester United, how many openings did we give up? When playing Frankfurt when we were 3-1 up, we hardly conceded a effort at our net. In each fixture we have played so far we haven't given up a many opportunities. Definitely not. We do allow a somewhat more than the prior term but that is related to us being trailing by a goal so you take a bit more risk. But in general I don't think that our problem is that we concede too many chances. Our challenge is we are unable to finish the openings we produce."
