🔗 Share this article Slot Asserts He Feels Secure and Retains The Club's Support After PSV Eindhoven Humiliation The Liverpool head coach conceded that it was natural for doubts to be raised about his future following a further convincing defeat versus the Dutch champions. Liverpool endured their ninth defeat in 12 matches, marking the team's worst run after being relegated in the 1953-54 season. They were outplayed by the Eredivisie champions on a difficult evening at their home ground. “I'm confident, I'm fine, I've received significant backing from the top,” the coach stated. “It's important to reverse this trend and earn three points obviously but if you are in a managerial role and struggling then it's expected that questions are asked.” He continued, “I am OK with my role. It is not the initial instance I've found myself in a difficult position but it is about time that we changed our fortunes.” Talks with Club Management When asked to elaborate on his dialogues with the Liverpool hierarchy, Slot said: “We communicate frequently. They are helpful to the team and to me and we have those conversations but they aren't calling me constantly each day to say they back me.” He mentioned, “In the normal exchanges I perceive the trust. But I haven’t spoken to them since this match yet so let’s see.” Recurring Issues and Squad Response Slot expressed regret over familiar failings from his squad in their Champions League loss, specifically poor finishing and conceding too easily. Meanwhile, player Jones was more direct in his view of the club’s predicament. “I haven't got the solutions. Frankly, I do not. I’m saying that to everybody,” Jones said. “It's simply unacceptable. I don’t even need to wait to reflect. I'm beyond feeling anger inside. I’m at the point now where I simply lack the vocabulary.” He added, “It’s hard because I play for the side I follow. I support them, and I’ve seen Liverpool for years.” “For many years, I haven’t experienced a Reds side enduring a phase of this nature with results this poor.” Jones stated, “But we still have that badge on our chest. And as long as it is removed, we will always fight.” “Our aim is to help the side back to the top, show everyone once more what Liverpool stands for and why it's known as the best team in the planet.” “But right now, things are bad and we have to turn it around.”
