Arne Slot says he feels the full support of fans
Arne Slot has said that he has felt the support of the fanbase despite the rough patch his side have been going through.
Results have dipped, performances have been questioned and the pressure has inevitably cranked up in the stands and on social media, but it seems the Dutch manager is not worried just yet.
It has already been reported by the Telegraph that Slot is expected to remain in charge of the Reds next season. And judging from Slot’s latest words, he feels this is the case as well.
Speaking in his pre-Fulham press conference, he asserted that he still feels that the fanbase is behind him:
“I feel the support of the fans. I have said many times I feel a lot of support from the owners and from Richard and Michael as well, and as weird as it might sound I also feel the support of the fans,” he said.
“When we went for a walk around Paris before the game, even though we’d just lost 4-0 at City – the fans started singing ‘We love you Liverpool’. After we were outplayed for 90 minutes, they were still singing for us at the away end. We have felt that support constantly. The club knows the period of time we are in, and in the meantime I have their complete support.”
That context matters going into Fulham, a fixture that can turn awkward if anxiety creeps into Anfield.
Slot’s comments were a reminder that he sees the relationship with the supporters as a two‑way street. They stuck with the team 4-0 down at City and after a painful European night, and now it is on his players to respond with the kind of high‑energy performance that justifies that loyalty.
Worrying about his job is the last thing the Dutchman needs is ahead of trying to qualify for the 2026/27 Champions League, with the Premier League granted a fifth qualification spot.
