It's definitely not a penalty."Liverpool were booed off at full-time, and when asked about the reaction, Slot said: “I think it's understandable for fans to be frustrated because it happened already so many times that they've seen the home team not picking up the points that they're expecting to, us conceding goals in the last minute.“Now it's up to us to bring that frustration to Wednesday and come up with a big performance. Because that we are all frustrated, that's completely clear.“And it's now up to me and the players to take that frustration into Wednesday evening and show the fans the performance and the results they deserve, because they've been supportive throughout the whole season to us.“Then if it happens so many times that they are frustrated in the end of a game or after the final whistle, that makes complete sense to me.”Choose Liverpool Echo as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCRio NgumohaTottenham Hotspur FC
