Arne Slot admitted he slept poorly after Liverpool‘s latest defeat, as he faced difficult questions from reporters just hours after the Reds’ 4-1 humiliation at the hands of PSV.
Liverpool suffered a heavy home loss to the Dutch champions in the Champions League on Wednesday night at Anfield, days after a 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
On Thursday, Slot confirmed that he had met with members of Liverpool’s senior hierarchy, while it is understood that he retained their confidence despite the worsening run.
The Premier League champions have now lost nine of their last 12 fixtures, and ahead of Sunday’s trip to West Ham, Slot admitted that his rest was somewhat affected by the latest loss, but insisted he would continue in the role.
‘How do you think? Not the best,’ Slot replied when asked about his night’s sleep. ‘I didn’t lie awake all night, but even if we win I don’t sleep well with adrenaline. I had a few hours, enough to be fresh this morning.’
On the discussions he has had with the club’s ownership, he added: ‘We’ve had the same conversations that we’ve had since I got here.
