Slot disputes the frustration was aimed squarely at him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cIt\u2019s never nice that they are frustrated because usually fans are not frustrated after you win,\u201d said Slot, who expects Ibrahima Konat\u00e9 to return having missed the Spurs game with a hamstring problem. \u201cSo first of all you\u2019re frustrated yourself and disappointed we haven\u2019t won. Second of all, people told me when I first came here that if it [the booing] was towards me \u2026 this club is different than other clubs and the fans will support the manager for such a long time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cSo if it\u2019s true what you\u2019re saying \u2013 and I don\u2019t feel this at all \u2013 then I must have done a lot of things wrong and that\u2019s never a nice feeling to have. Being in a club that\u2019s always so supportive of the manager, in good and bad times, if they are not happy with me then apparently I\u2019ve done so many things wrong and that\u2019s never a nice feeling to have. But I know how the football industry works. Winning can change a lot. That\u2019s what we are trying to achieve tomorrow. And we\u2019re completely ready for that, I can tell you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Slot did not go into the specifics of his mistakes but insisted that, in terms of work-rate and chance creation, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/liverpool\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool<\/a> remain superior to most opponents. \u201cI did something wrong in the season we won the league and I definitely did make a few decisions that were not perfect in hindsight. But all the decisions I\u2019ve made I\u2019ve always made for the same reason; to help us to try to win the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cI can say at this club and all the other clubs I\u2019ve worked, 80%-90% of the games I\u2019ve managed my teams have outworked the other teams and my teams have created more chances than the other team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Liverpool have been beaten twice by Galatasaray this season, on both occasions at a raucous Rams Park, but Slot believes the prospect of a quarter-final place against Paris Saint-Germain or Chelsea can inspire a different outcome at Anfield. \u201cWe feel the importance of this game,\u201d the head coach said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cWe are able to reach the quarter-final of the Champions League. That would be special for me as it would be my first time. It would be special for all of us. We can never take a Champions League quarter-final for granted no matter how often this club has done it in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Arne Slot has said that he must have \u201cdone a lot of things wrong\u201d for Liverpool fans to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":544076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-544075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=544075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/544075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/544076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=544075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=544075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=544075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
