But every time I say there are never enough excuses to have a run of form as we had now.”Slot argues results are an unfair reflection of recent matches and said he does not need to adopt a more pragmatic style of play.The Reds have lost four games in a row in the Premier League (Liverpool FC via Getty)“It does go against my beliefs but I have won games in the past – Manchester City away [last season] maybe went against my beliefs but it was necessary to play it like that in the second half – so I would be more than open to adapt in certain situations,” he added. Against [Eintracht] Frankfurt, for example, when we were 3-1 up, we hardly conceded a shot on target.”Liverpool have not kept a clean sheet in their last 10 games (Action Images via Reuters)In those seven games, with Liverpool beating Frankfurt 5-1 and losing the others, they have had more shots in five, and fewer in one.



However, Slot continued: “So in all the games we played until now we haven’t conceded a lot of chances. “I’m a firm believer all the squads I had were 20 or 21 players that can play because if you have too many it’s already a struggle to make a squad,” he explained.

“We have an unbelievable squad if they are all fit and all ready for the programme we are facing.“I am completely happy with the team, all the quality that we have and completely convinced with the strategy and the policy we have. If these players are all fit, we have so much quality.
