ON\u00a0APPLE<\/a>\u00a0&\u00a0GOOGLE PLAY<\/a><\/p>\n Speaking on Stick to Football via The Overlap<\/a>, the former Premier League figure weighed in on the situation at Anfield following defeat to PSG.<\/p>\n Roy Keane backs Slot despite pressure<\/p>\n Referencing the wider conversation around Liverpool\u2019s season, Keane said: \u201cYeah, you can\u2019t be sacking the manager a year after winning the league.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re [the fans] restless. Of course, but aren\u2019t most fans?<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s about how they finish the season. They\u2019ve got they got United in a couple of weeks. So, they\u2019re big games emotionally for the fans, aren\u2019t they? But I\u2019ll think they\u2019ll be fine for top five.\u201d<\/p>\n Those comments reflect a more measured view compared to some of the frustration we\u2019ve seen after recent results, particularly with the Reds now out of Europe and under pressure to secure a top-five finish.<\/p>\n Liverpool hierarchy aligned with Keane view<\/p>\n Keane\u2019s stance actually lines up with what we\u2019re hearing from inside the club, with David Ornstein revealing<\/a> that the ownership and sporting hierarchy fully intend to stick with the Dutchman.<\/p>\n That continuity feels important when you consider the context of this season, because Slot has had to deal with injuries at key moments, including going into the second half against PSG without several major players available.<\/p>\n
