00:01Liverpool head coach Arnie Schlott has openly acknowledged his frustration
00:05with the club's inconsistent Premier League campaign,
00:08admitting recent results have fallen well short of expectations for a reigning champion.
00:15Schlott's comment following a disempointing 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur
00:18that saw fans boo the side off of Anfield.
00:22A reaction he described was understandable and one he takes responsibility for.
00:27Yeah, of course it's damaging, but it's how many times this has been damaging for us.
00:33We don't help ourselves at all.
00:36It's so many of times this season that we've created much more XG or chances
00:41than the amount of goals we score.
00:43And usually in the Premier League, you see a lot of teams outperforming their XG,
00:48but that definitely is what we are doing throughout the whole season.
00:52And then a game still stays tight till the end.
00:57And we struggle to keep clean sheets.
01:01We haven't had as many clean sheets as you would want if you want to go higher up in the
01:09table.
01:10And yeah, that's a bad combination for picking up the amount of points we want to pick up.
01:15Part of Schlott's desire to fix Liverpool's season involves tightening up both mentality
01:19and execution on the pitch.
01:21Latest analysis shows Liverpool's expected goals and actual goal output have dipped compared
01:26with last term, while defensive lapses in crucial moments have cost valuable points.
01:32The manager has also stressed the importance of converting opportunities into results,
01:37hoping to channel collective frustration into improved consistency.
01:41I think it's understandable for fans to be frustrated because it happened already so many times
01:46that they've seen the home team not picking up the points that they're expecting to us
01:50conceding goals in the last minute.
01:53Now it's up to us to bring that frustration to Wednesday and come up with a big performance
01:58because that we are all frustrated.
02:00That's completely clear.
02:02And it's now up to me and the players to take that frustration to Wednesday evening
02:08and show the fans the performance and the results they deserve because they've been supported
02:16throughout the whole season to us.
02:18And then if it happens so many times that they are done frustrated in the end of a game
02:23or after the final whistle, teams have now when they play against us and I think we might
02:27be a bit anxious towards the end as well when we don't extend our lead.
02:35Yeah, I think that's also normal if it happens so many times that you start to think like that
02:43and it's normal that the stadium has that same feeling.
02:47He believes that responding with positivity on the field is the best way to rebuild momentum
02:52and recapture the form that saw Liverpool crown Premier League champions less than a year ago.
