He has said it would be unacceptable for Liverpool to miss out on the Champions League. But he may find fault.“Of course, I am judging myself constantly,” he added.

You have to make 30, 40, 50 choices every single day and you try to judge them but, in the end, you can say, ‘okay, how was this season?’ I already have a certain opinion about that but the outcome of the next four games could make a massive difference in the way I judge myself over this season.”Slot arguably merits credit in the bank, as the head coach who won only Liverpool’s second league title in 35 years. That is how this industry works, so yeah, we - and I am part of 'we' - have to prove ourselves the week after and the week after,” he said.

“The players that won the Champions League and Premier League with Jurgen, I think if you look now, might only be Virgil and Joe [Gomez] contracted to the club [next year],” said Slot; omitting Alisson may have been a moment of forgetfulness or a broader indication of the Brazilian’s future. Liverpool have spent £450m, but part of Slot’s verdict on himself seems based on a sense they are in transition, albeit a particularly expensive version of it."I think the transition hasn't been completed yet,” he added.
