"Not this season, by the way.

This season they (fans) will have their opinion and it will not change."But if we can have the summer that we are planning to have I am 100% convinced we will be a different team next season than we are now. Different in terms of results, different in how things look."It’s not always that simple because sometimes you know what you have to do but it’s not always possible to get exactly what you want.

For us, for me, it is really clear what we are lacking this season and we are trying."Slot added: "One of the things that we are lacking is players that are fit."The players that we have available now, like last week, showed in the second half they want to give everything and try to push but it was not enough last week or this week to find that goal which we maybe deserved if you look at where the game was played."For me, the game was mainly played in the second half in their half and that is what we’ve seen a lot of times this season. We’ve also seen a lot of times this season that being the dominant team does not lead to chance after chance after chance.”Choose Liverpool Echo as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCArne Slot
