Liverpool boss Arne Slot has admitted he can't get fans back onside this season after boos at Anfield on Saturday, but is confident he will win back trust from supporters after the summer transfer window.Slot's side were booed off after an out-of-form Chelsea came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at Anfield. But if we can have the summer that we are planning to have, then I'm 100 per cent convinced that we will be a different team next season than we are now.

But the players that we have available now, I think, again, like last week, showed in the second half that they want to give everything and try to push."But it was not enough last week, and it wasn't enough this week to find that goal, which we maybe deserved if you looked at where the game was played."Because for me, the game was mainly played in their half, and that is what we have seen a lot of times this season. Speaking to TNT Sports, the Liverpool boss said he was forced into the decision as Ngumoha felt a "problem in his muscles".Asked to clarify if Ngumoha was injured, Slot told press after the game:"He had a cramp perhaps three minutes before that, and then I had contact with him, and he said that it wasn't an option [to continue]."It makes complete sense if you take a player off who is playing well, an assist, that people don't expect you to take that player off, which wasn't my intention to do."He's a good player, but I don't think he's at the level yet to play at 60 or 50 per cent to then make a difference.

It's just building up frustration, and that came out probably after half-time."Gravenberch: We don't deserve the boos Image: Ryan Gravenberch celebrates his early goal vs Chelsea Also reacting to the boos, Gravenberch urged Liverpool fans to support the side instead of booing."We need them behind us," Gravenberch told TNT Sports."I think what they do is - OK, we don't win, but I think we don't really deserve this. I think fans have to be behind us like 90 minutes, because when I think it was the second half, when they went behind us, we pressed them really, so we need it, so hopefully the next few games they won't do the same."How Liverpool fans reacted to the Chelsea drawJosh1: "Slot cannot stay next season, that was slow and boring to watch, no urgency to get forward from defensive corners, everyone just walking out of the box.
