Arne Slot Tries To Return Liverpool Mentally: Appreciation For Positive Moments

JAKARTA - The challenge of Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, to restore such a devastated confidence as the challenge to reverse the team's performance. The wrong way is to try to highlight some positive things for the players.

Nine defeats in 12 matches - six of which were defeats in seven Premier League matches - making away matches on Sunday, November 30, 2025, to West Ham United headquarters are essential for the reigning champions who are trying to stop their slump.

Despite the increasing negative sentiment around the club as every bad result, Arne Slot tries to put a positive side on those short moments when things go well.

"It would be better if we gave ourselves a gift at a time when we played well because people were very focused on the parts we didn't play well."

"Of course there are most of the games where we play well and create lots of chances. We tend to forget to reward ourselves at such times."

"Every small mistake, or a small mistake, immediately conceded us," said Arne Slot.

Arne Slot knows his team's morale is hit every time his team concedes, which has been going on 10 times in their last three games.

However, he believes the players do not enter the field with negative mood.

"I didn't see (self-confidence) low when we started the game. I didn't even see it low after we conceded (the first goal in a 1-4 defeat to PSV Eindhoven)."

"Even when we conceded two goals and disappointed again, we were able to create enough chances, but after they scored the third goal."

"I can see it's detrimental to the players and it's not a period where our fighting spirit is at the top, to be honest," said the coach again.

The Dutch coach faced speculation that he had lost his place in the dressing room after the club's worst streak in more than 70 years, but denied that the squad had stopped listening.

"Being 1-3 behind, it was very difficult to convey a message when I was on the sidelines, but before (the match) and during the break of the first half, I thought the message was conveyed to them."

"If I see how we create chances, it's a lot of things we practice and what's in the meeting, but unfortunately it doesn't result in goals. It's difficult for them, for me, for everyone."

"However, the message that was conveyed was very clear from me, from how we created opportunities," he said.
