“I’m repeating myself a lot, but I feel a lot of support. Not only from the owners but from Richard [Hughes] and Michael [Edwards]. A lot of support from them but as weird as it might sound, I also feel the support from the fans,” said Slot.
“In Paris when the players went out for the warm-up and after the 4-0 loss [against Manchester City] the fans immediately started singing ‘we love Liverpool’.
“I think it’s fair to say we were outplayed for 90 minutes and they were still singing and clapping for us.
“I’ve said it many times, the club knows the period of time we’re in and in the meantime, I feel complete support.”
He added that Wednesday’s defeat to PSG would serve as motivation during this “defining” period of the season, which starts with Fulham’s visit to Anfield on Saturday.
“We faced the champions of Europe and we experienced that we were not on the level we should have been.
“The good thing is we have four or five days to show we can be much more competitive. It also tells us we want to keep improving and playing at that level next season.
“I think if you experience that two days ago, you want to be involved next season to show we can do even better. Therefore, we have to perform in the league as well.”
