Details: At the pre-match press conference ahead of the Champions League clash against Dutch side PSV, Arne Slot stated that he is to blame for results that have fallen well short of the expectations of fans and the club's management.

"I take responsibility, I feel guilty. As a manager, I need to set an example and work even harder," said the Dutch Liverpool boss.

The manager also admitted he never anticipated finding himself in such a situation. With the quality present in the squad, the team should have been performing at a much higher level.

"To be honest, I didn't expect us to be in this position, considering our tactical approach and the quality of our players," the coach noted.

Liverpool are deep in crisis, having managed only three wins from their last eleven matches. In the Premier League, last season's champions are languishing in twelfth place—a shocking slump for the Merseysiders, who haven't endured a season this poor in years.

Reminder: There have been reports that Liverpool may change their head coach, with Giovanni van Bronckhorst among the leading candidates for the role.
