Press conference with Liverpool manager Arne Slot ahead of the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie against Galatasaray.Liverpool head coach Arne Slot is aiming to get frustrated fans back onside after accepting he “must have done a lot of things wrong” to incur Anfield’s disapproval.The team were booed off after conceding a 90th-minute equaliser to Tottenham on Sunday – the first time the Premier League-winning Dutchman has had such an adverse reaction since arriving in the summer of 2024.While the mood on social media has been anti-Slot for some time during a poor season, last weekend was the first time home fans have expressed their feelings so publicly.“It’s never nice they are frustrated because usually fans are not frustrated after you win,” Slot said ahead of their Champions League last-16 second leg against Galatasaray, in which they must overturn a 1-0 deficit.“People told me when I came here that they will support the manager for such a long time, but (if) you are supposing something then I must have done a lot of things wrong.“That’s never a nice feeling to have because being in the club that’s always so supportive for the manager, in good and bad times, then if they are not happy with me, then apparently I’ve done so many things wrong.“I did something wrong in the season that we won the league and I definitely did maybe make a few decisions that were not perfect in hindsight.“But all the decisions I’ve made, I’ve always made for the same reason, for us trying to win the game.“But I also know how the football industry works. Winning can change a lot. That’s what we are trying to achieve tomorrow and we’re completely ready for that.”

00:00It's never nice that they are frustrated because usually fans are not frustrated after you win.
00:06So first of all, you're frustrated yourself and disappointed about the fact that we haven't won.
00:11When I came here, people have said to me, this club is different than other clubs.
00:15They will support the manager for such and such and such a long time.
00:19So the moment, if it's true what you're saying, I don't feel this at all, but you are supposing something,
00:25then I must have done a lot of things wrong, and that's never a nice feeling to have.
00:30Because being at the club, that's always so supportive for the manager in good and bad times.
00:35Then if they are not happy with me, then apparently I've done so many things wrong,
00:40and that's never a nice feeling to have.
00:42But I also know how the football industry works.
00:47Winning can change a lot, and that's what we are trying to achieve tomorrow night.
00:53And we're completely ready for that, I can tell you that.
00:55I should clarify, I don't feel it's just directed at you solely,
00:59but obviously they look at performances and react to that.
01:02At the same time though, do you feel that you've maybe done something wrong yourself
01:06that has impacted things this evening, this season I should say?
01:10Yeah, no, I did something wrong in the season that we won the league,
01:14and I definitely did maybe make a few decisions that were not perfect in hindsight.
01:20But all the decisions I've made, I've always made for the same reason,
01:23for us trying to win the game.
