🔗 Share this article Slot Asserts He Feels Secure and Has Liverpool's Support After PSV Defeat The Liverpool head coach conceded that it's expected for doubts to be asked about his position following a further heavy loss versus the Dutch champions. Liverpool suffered their ninth loss in twelve games, marking the team's worst run since being relegated in the 1953-54 season. They were dominated by the Eredivisie title holders on a tough evening at Anfield. “I am feeling safe, I'm fine, I have got a lot of backing from above,” Slot stated. “It would be great to reverse this trend and secure a win obviously but when you're in a managerial role and struggling then it is normal that questions are asked.” He continued, “I am OK with my role. It is not the initial instance I've found myself in a challenging situation but it's crucial that we improved our results.” Conversations with The Board Upon being questioned to elaborate on his conversations with the team officials, the head coach explained: “We talk a lot. They assist to the team and to me and those talks happen but they aren't calling me all the time each day to say they back me.” He further stated, “Through standard conversations we have I perceive the trust. However I've not talked to them since this defeat yet so we'll see.” Persistent Problems and Squad Reaction The manager lamented recurring failings from his squad in their Champions League defeat, specifically poor finishing and defensive lapses. Meanwhile, player Curtis Jones was blunter in his evaluation of the club’s predicament. “I don’t have the solutions. Frankly, I do not. I'm telling that to all,” the midfielder remarked. “It's simply unacceptable. I don’t even need to wait to think about it. I’m past being angry inside. I’m at the point currently where I just don’t have the words.” He added, “It's difficult because I play for the club I love. I'm a supporter, and I’ve seen this club for years.” “In a long, long time, I've not seen a Reds side going through a phase like this with outcomes so bad.” Jones finished, “However we continue to wear the emblem on our chest. And as long as it is gone, we'll continue to fight.” “We will attempt to get this team return to the top, prove once more what Liverpool stands for and why it's known as the top club in the world.” “At this moment, we’re in the shit and we have to turn it around.”
