Yeah, compared to the whole season, this is the best period when it comes to players available. But when I go into my office, I still see two or three defenders out, a right-back situation, and other injuries. So yes, it looks better, but there are still problems we need to manage.
He also spoke about Fulham’s tactical discipline and consistency under long-term management. He added,
Fulham are a very structured team with a clear identity. They’ve worked together for a long time with mostly the same group of players, and you can see that cohesion in how they play. They are always organised, always competitive, and very difficult to break down, even when games are tight.
Finally, Slot highlighted the importance of Anfield and the role of supporters in driving the team forward during difficult moments. He said,
Anfield has always been special for us. Not just in difficult moments, but throughout the entire season. The fans give us energy, they lift us when things are hard, and they push us to keep going. We always feel that support, and it makes a big difference in games like this.
