Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has refused to criticise the Anfield crowd after boos greeted the final whistle during their stalemate with Tottenham. Despite leading through a Dominik Szoboszlai free-kick, the Reds failed to kill the game off and were punished when Richarlison equalised in stoppage time, dealing a massive blow to Liverpool's top-five ambitions.Speaking to Sky Sports after the match, Slot insisted the reaction from the stands was a natural consequence of the team’s recent form. "I think it is completely normal," Slot said. "If the team you are supporting drop so many points against teams you don't expect them to so many times in the last seconds of a game then I think we all feel a lot of frustration."The draw marks the eighth time this season that Liverpool have conceded a goal after the 90th minute, a statistic that highlights the defensive instability plaguing their campaign. For a side that entered the season as defending Premier League champions, the inability to see out games has become a recurring nightmare for Slot and his coaching staff.Slot was quick to acknowledge that the supporters' patience has been tested by these constant late collapses. "They have experienced this far too many times, more times than they are used to and that is completely normal that they show their frustration," the Dutchman explained. "The frustration is felt by me, by the players and also by our fans."Midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, who provided the game's opening goal, was equally blunt about the team's current predicament."I didn't hear the boos but I can understand because last season we became champions and this season we are not performing in the way that we should be," Szoboszlai admitted. However, he urged the fans to remain loyal during this difficult transition. "They should stay behind us because last season when we were champions four games before the end, everybody was happy. Support us now when we're in difficult times."Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reportingSeeking redemption, Liverpool quickly turn their focus back to Europe, hosting Galatasaray on Wednesday in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League tie and aiming to overturn a 1-0 deficit.
