“I think Anfield has shown in its history, but also since I’m here, how important these fans are for us when we play a home game.“A recent example of course was Galatasaray, where we had a tough game away from home, where their fans were really loud, but then Anfield showed what being loud really is. They helped us through that game, and I can come up with so many examples where I’ve been part of it, but also in the history of this club.Liverpool supporters groups have announced plans to protest against the club's ticket price increases(Image: Getty Images)“That is what makes Anfield special, but I think in general, playing in front of your home fans is, for every team, very helpful.

We’ve always felt that support, I’ve always felt that support when we are playing, in good and in bad times.“I hope, even though there are protests, that the fans can be as helpful as they’ve always been for us this season and last season.”With the Premier League earning an extra spot in next season’s Champions League this week, Liverpool remains in a position to qualify again for the competition, although it has plenty of work to do over the remainder of the campaign.Slot faced questions about his future on Friday, although he insists he still feels he has the backing of both the club and the fans.Get LFC's 2025/26 season home and away kitsThis article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

We were going out in Paris, when the players were going out for the warm-up, and the fans - after a 4-0 loss - immediately started singing ‘we love you Liverpool’.“And after, I think it’s fair to say, outplayed over 90 minutes, we went to the away end and they were still singing for us and clapping for us.“That support, we’ve felt, I’ve felt, constantly. I think, and I’ve said this many times as well, the club knows in which period of time we are in, and in the meantime I feel complete support.”
