The Dutch tactician's frustration was palpable as he watched his team drop crucial points in their quest to finish in the Premier League's top four.
The draw leaves Liverpool in a precarious position, with Slot emphasizing that his squad must "keep fighting" if they want to compete among Europe's elite next campaign.
