đź”— Share this article Liverpool Refuses to Abandon Attacking Style Despite Poor Run of Form, Says Slot Liverpool's head coach has announced that the team leadership are aligned with his perspective regarding the poor performance streak and he refuses to compromise their offensive approach in quest for a solution. The head coach conceded that six defeats in seven outings was not good enough ahead of Aston Villa's visit. Growing Expectations Amid Challenging Phase Slot accepted the pressure was on before his rotated squad were eliminated from the Carabao Cup against their Premier League rivals. However, he emphasized that this pressure to arrest the slide is not coming from the club's ownership or management structure following a significant spending of approximately ÂŁ450 million. "They say similar things," remarked the Liverpool boss, whose squad will encounter Los Blancos in the Champions League and visit Pep Guardiola's side in the domestic competition. Squad Quality Stays Undoubted Slot believes his team "boast a remarkable roster if they are all fit and all ready for the programme we are facing". He said that the summer investment in players such as the German international and Alexander Isak, who is probably unavailable again against Aston Villa through injury, had left the club "in an excellent position for the immediate prospects and the years to come". Gelling Difficulties When pressed on why his team were having difficulty blending, he answered: "That's not particularly helpful. 'What are the reasons?' I give an explanation and people say I'm coming up with excuses. I can list five or six reasons why we are not winning as much or losing as much as we do but, as I always emphasize, there are insufficient justifications to have a performance streak as we had now." Even if I could identify multiple factors As Liverpool manager you cannot lose Unfortunately six defeats in seven games Backline Performance Only the Lancashire club (twenty-one) have allowed more significant openings from open play this season than the Merseysiders (nineteen). The league leaders, the Gunners, have conceded only two. Yet the manager disputes the champions have been too open and asserts there is no basis to abandon offensive philosophy for a more pragmatic style after ten fixtures without a shutout. "I don't see us conceding a lot of chances so I find no basis to modify our philosophy completely but we have to enhance in keeping clean sheets," he stated. Particular Cases "Against Manchester United, how many openings did we give up? Versus the German side when we were leading 3-1, we scarcely gave up a effort at our net. In all the games we played until now we haven't given up a lot of chances. Absolutely not. We do give away a bit more than the prior term but that has to do with us being trailing by a goal so you become more adventurous. But overall I don't feel that our problem is that we give up too many openings. Our challenge is we are unable to finish the openings we produce."
