Sloth hopes to repay the fans for their support of Liverpool with a victory.

Liverpool will host Brentford in the final round of the 2025/26 Premier League season. Manager Sloot stated in a press conference that the team has experienced many disappointing moments this season and therefore hopes to repay the fans for their support with a victory.

In the 37th round of matches, Liverpool came from behind to defeat Aston Villa 4-2 after Virgil van Dijk scored two goals.

After dropping three points, Liverpool are currently fifth in the standings with 59 points, three points ahead of sixth-placed Bournemouth, but also holding a superior goal difference. However, a victory would allow them to conclude this challenging season with a win.

Speaking about the current situation, Liverpool manager Sloot said, "There are a lot of 'what ifs' in this situation, but we know what we need to do. We have to win, or at least get a draw, otherwise we can only hope for a decent goal difference. However, I think we would prefer to end the season in a good way for the fans, because there have been too many disappointing moments for us this season."

“Of course we want to finish with a win, and we know Brentford are also fighting for very important goals. But since the game against Aston Villa, our main focus has been on getting the team into top form.”

In addition, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has been involved in almost every game this season and has consistently played a pivotal role in the team.

Sloth said, "It's a remarkable achievement, but it's not as simple as people think. To play every game in a league like this is very difficult in itself, let alone at his age. But it also reflects some of our situation this season, especially in terms of injuries and player availability. Because if I could always have a full squad, I might have rested him once or twice, but in reality I couldn't do that."

"We all hope the club will get better."

"But the good news is that I don't need to do that, because I can continue to use him every time, which is really incredible, especially in such a frustrating season. If everything goes well, it's actually easier for players to stay healthy, just like last season. I remember he only missed one game after we won the title."

Sloot continued, "But in such a season with so many setbacks and disappointments, he has been able to stay healthy and play consistently, which is even more remarkable at his age. Of course, considering how he manages his body, he is probably younger than his ID card suggests."

It's worth mentioning that Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah is about to leave Liverpool, where he has played for many years, but a recent post by the Egyptian star on social media has sparked discussion.

Sloot stated, "I think my stance has always been the same: we all want the team to get better and to succeed. That's the core goal. My job is to find ways to continue improving this team. There have been too many games where we had a lot of possession but didn't really create anything particularly exciting or have many truly thrilling moments."

"However, this is also the trend of the league's overall development now. Generally speaking, we rarely see high-scoring games like 3-0, 4-0, 5-0, or even 6-0 anymore. Now almost every game is very close, not just our games, but the whole league is like this."

Slaughter also said, "But as I said, we will continue to strive to make the team evolve, to remain competitive, and to play a style of football that the fans like, that I like, and that Salah, who is somewhere else at that time, will also like."
