đź”— Share this article Liverpool Refuses to Abandon Attacking Style Amid Current Struggles, Says Arne Slot The Dutch manager has revealed that the club's hierarchy share his views regarding the recent downturn and he will not abandon their offensive approach in pursuit of a solution. The manager conceded that six defeats in seven games was not good enough ahead of Saturday's match against Aston Villa. Increasing Scrutiny Throughout Tough Spell Liverpool's coach recognized the scrutiny was intense before his altered lineup suffered Carabao Cup elimination against the London club. However, he maintained that this need to reverse the decline is not coming from the team's proprietors or management structure following a substantial investment of nearly ÂŁ450 million. "Our views align," remarked Slot, whose squad will encounter the Spanish giants in the continental tournament and play against Pep Guardiola's side in the English top flight. Squad Quality Stays Undoubted Slot believes his team "boast a remarkable roster if they are fully healthy and completely set for the schedule ahead". He noted that the recent signings in talents including the German international and the Swedish striker, who is likely to miss out again against Villa through fitness issues, had left the club "in a strong situation for the immediate prospects and the distant prospects". Integration Challenges When questioned about why his team were taking so long to gel, he replied: "That question isn't constructive. 'Why, why, why?' I offer insights and people say I'm offering alibis. I can identify multiple factors why we are struggling for victories or suffering defeats as we do but, as I say every time, there are insufficient justifications to have a results sequence as we had now." Even if I could identify numerous reasons As Liverpool manager you should not suffer defeats The reality is six defeats in seven games Defensive Statistics Only the Lancashire club (twenty-one) have faced more big chances from open play this season than Liverpool (19). The first-place team, Arsenal, have faced two. Yet the manager disputes the defense has been too vulnerable and asserts there is no basis to compromise forward-thinking approach for a more pragmatic style after ten fixtures without a shutout. "In my view we're not allowing many opportunities so I find no basis to change our playing style totally but we need to do better in not conceding goals," he stated. Recent Examples "Against Manchester United, how many openings did we give up? When playing Frankfurt when we were 3-1 up, we barely allowed a attempt on goal. In all the games we have competed in we haven't allowed a lot of chances. Definitely not. We do concede a somewhat more than the prior term but that is related to us being 1-0 down so you take a bit more risk. But in general I don't feel that our issue is that we allow too many opportunities. Our challenge is we don't score the opportunities we generate."
