"LIVERPOOL -- The message from the Kop was loud and clear. With Liverpool still searching for the breakthrough against Aston Villa, the home supporters launched into an emphatic chorus of "Arne Slot" -- an unequivocal collective backing of a head coach whose credentials have been called into question following a torrid run of six defeats in seven games in all competitions."
"A goal in either half from Mohamed Salah and Gravenberch spared the champions from such a mortifying fate, stopping the rot to kickstart a week that could prove season-defining. Having played three of their last four league games on the road, the clash with Unai Emery's side offered Liverpool the chance to benefit from some home comforts and, even before a ball was kicked on Saturday night, there was a sense that the supporters were determined to turn Anfield into its unified, vociferous best."
Liverpool supporters loudly chanted "Arne Slot" in emphatic backing during the tense home game against Aston Villa. The team had endured six defeats in seven games and risked losing five top-flight matches in a season for the first time since 1953-54. Mohamed Salah and Ryan Gravenberch scored in either half to secure a 2-0 victory that stopped the slide. The win provided home comforts after three of the previous four league matches were away. The Kop repeated the chant in the second half after Gravenberch doubled the lead, reinforcing collective backing of the manager and restoring belief ahead of a pivotal week.
