🔗 Share this article Slot Asserts He Is Secure and Retains The Club's Backing After PSV Humiliation The Liverpool head coach acknowledged that it's expected for doubts to be asked about his position after a further convincing defeat against the Dutch champions. Liverpool endured their ninth defeat in twelve matches, representing the team's poorest run after being relegated in the 1953-54 season. They were taken apart by the Dutch league title holders on a tough night at their home ground. “I feel secure, I am OK, I've received significant support from management,” the coach commented. “It would be nice to turn it around and get a victory obviously but when you're in a managerial role and underperforming then it is normal that questions are asked.” He added, “I'm comfortable with my position. It is not the initial instance I’ve been in a tough spot but it's crucial that we changed our fortunes.” Conversations with Club Management Upon being questioned to provide details on his discussions with the Liverpool hierarchy, Slot said: “We talk a lot. They are helpful to the team and for me and those talks happen but they aren't calling me constantly each day to say they have faith in me.” He added, “In the normal exchanges I perceive the confidence. But I haven’t spoken to them since this defeat yet so let’s see.” Persistent Issues and Squad Response Slot expressed regret over familiar shortcomings from his team in their European loss, namely wasted chances and leaking goals. Meanwhile, midfielder Curtis Jones was more direct in his assessment of the current crisis. “I haven't got the solutions. Frankly, I don’t. I'm telling that to everyone,” Jones said. “It is not good enough. I don’t even have to wait to consider it. I'm beyond feeling anger internally. I’m at the point now where I simply lack the words.” He went on, “It’s hard because I play for the club I love. I support them, and I've watched this club since I was young.” “In a long, long time, I haven’t experienced a Reds side experiencing a phase of this nature with results so bad.” Jones stated, “But we still have the emblem on our shirts. And until that badge is removed, we will always compete.” “We will attempt to bring this squad back to its rightful place, prove again the values of this club and why people call it the top club in the planet.” “At this moment, things are bad and we have to turn it around.”
