The Liverpool head coach answered a question about the Merseysiders' results in the first half of the season.
The current Premier League champion is fourth in the league table and 12 points behind leader Arsenal.
"We've had problems all season. We started very well in terms of results, the games were very tight. Then we had a period where the games were still very tight, but we weren't always lucky. We've been unbeaten for seven or eight games now, but if we say that, it gives the impression that "they are confidently moving forward in the league" and we are not.
Every game is hard work, the two teams are very close to each other. We are probably better than other teams, but not enough. We are constantly within a 20% difference.
I will continue to fight, the players will fight so that we can exceed this 20%, increase the difference and then, I hope, we will find a moment when we can finish the season early. But the first 19 games were a constant struggle; we were close, sometimes a little lucky, sometimes a little unlucky," said Slot.
