Supporters were heard chanting the Dutchman's name, showing that they are behind him, following some questions over his future.Slot has been under pressure after a slow and inconsistent start to the season at Anfield, just months after lifting the Premier League in his first campaign in charge.

That hasn't been helped by the situation surrounding Mohamed Salah, who claimed his relationship with the manager had broken down.While the Egyptian international claimed that he felt as though the club had thrown him under the bus after being dropped for three games in a row, it felt as though the decision over what happens with the 33-year-old comes down to whether the manager's authority is backed over player power.READ MORE: Jamie Carragher called out live on air about Mohamed Salah rantSalah was dropped from Liverpool's Champions League clash with Inter Milan on Tuesday night, and it wasn't clear exactly how the fans would react to one of their best-ever players being left at home.However, they sent a clear message regarding their stance on the manager's position, having chanted Slot's name from the stands at the San Siro. There was support for Salah, too, given the flags on show, especially one branding him 'The Egyptian King'.For the Liverpool boss in particular, though, it was an important night in Italy, as he and his side needed a response to the recent performances and results on the pitch, and all of the noise off of it.Arne Slot appreciated the support he got from the travelling fans at the San Siro(Image: Getty Images)Inter Milan were far from an easy opponent, having been in top form in Serie A and the Champions League this season, but the Reds showed a steely resolve that hasn't always been present this season.Ibrahima Konate thought he had given the side the lead, but that goal was ruled out by VAR for a handball in the build-up to the goal itself.The technology intervened again late on, however, as a shirt pull on Florian Wirtz was adjudged to be a foul in the box, with Dominik Szoboszlai scoring the subsequent spot kick.In the end, Liverpool saw the game out to earn an important three points, calming the waters with a solid display that can now be used to jump off of.“This was another time where the players showed great mentality, this time we could win it instead of ending it with a draw,” Slot said in his post-match press conference."It’s all I could ask for.

With only 13 outfield players available with Champions League and Premier League experience, after the blow we conceded the 3-3 at Leeds in extra time where we deserved so much more, so to go into this stadium against a strong Inter team, you couldn’t have asked for more.Liverpool boss Arne Slot spoke out at his post-match press conference following the 1-0 win over Inter“I think we deserved to be on the right side but the margins were small.”The games come thick and fast though, with little time to celebrate, as attention immediately turns towards the Premier League match with Brighton over the weekend.It could well be Salah's final game for the Reds, if a transfer exit is secured in January, as he leaves to join up with the Egypt squad for AFCON next week.Slot refused to be drawn into discussion over the forward after the game, when speaking to Amazon Prime Video, as he said: "I think tonight it should be all about a team like this tonight, against a team like this who are winning and a stadium like this."The focus should be on that tonight. I can fully understand if I go into the press conference on Friday and all the questions are on Mo but I think these players deserve for it to be about them tonight."
