Slot Asserts He Feels Safe and Retains The Club's Support Following PSV Defeat

The Liverpool head coach conceded that it's expected for concerns to be asked about his position after a further heavy defeat against the Dutch champions.

Liverpool endured their ninth loss in 12 matches, representing the club's worst streak after being relegated in the 1953-54 season.

They were outplayed by the Eredivisie champions on a difficult night at their home ground.

“I am feeling safe, things are alright, I've received plenty of support from management,” Slot stated.

“It's important to reverse this trend and get a victory naturally but when you're working as a coach and not doing well then it's typical that doubts arise.”

He added, “I am OK with my position. This isn't the initial instance I've found myself in a tough spot but it is about time that we changed our fortunes.”

Conversations with Club Management

Upon being questioned to provide details on his discussions with the Liverpool hierarchy, the head coach revealed:

“We talk a lot. They are helpful for the squad and for me and we have those conversations but they don't phone me constantly each day to say they back me.”

He added, “Through standard conversations we have I feel the confidence. However I haven’t spoken to them after this defeat so far so we'll see.”

Persistent Issues and Player Response

Slot lamented familiar weaknesses from his team in their Champions League defeat, specifically missed opportunities and conceding too easily.

Meanwhile, player Curtis Jones was more direct in his assessment of the current crisis.

“I don’t have the solutions. Frankly, I don’t. I’m saying that to everybody,” Jones stated.

“It’s just not good enough. I don’t even have to wait to consider it. I’m past getting mad internally. I’m at the point currently where I just don’t have the vocabulary.”

He went on, “It's tough because I play for the club I love. I support them, and I've watched this club for years.”

“In recent memory, I haven’t experienced a Reds side experiencing a phase like this with outcomes this poor.”

Jones concluded, “But we still have the emblem on our chest. And until it is removed, we'll continue to battle.”

“We’re going to try to help the side return to the top, show everyone again what this club is about and the reason it's called the best team in the world.”

“However currently, we’re in the shit and it must improve.”
