🔗 Share this article Slot Asserts He Feels Secure and Has Liverpool's Backing Following PSV Loss The Liverpool head coach conceded that it was understandable for questions to be asked about his future after another heavy defeat versus the Dutch champions. Liverpool endured their ninth defeat in twelve matches, marking the team's poorest streak after being demoted in 1953-54. They were taken apart by the Dutch league champions on a tough night at Anfield. “I'm confident, things are alright, I have got plenty of support from management,” Slot commented. “It's important to turn it around and earn three points naturally but if you are coaching a team and struggling then it's expected that questions are asked.” He noted, “I'm comfortable with my role. It is not the first time I’ve been in a difficult position but it is about time that we changed our fortunes.” Discussions with Liverpool Hierarchy When asked to elaborate on his conversations with the club's leadership, the head coach revealed: “There's regular dialogue. They are helpful to the team and to me and we discuss these matters but they don't phone me every single minute of the day to say they back me.” He further stated, “During our regular exchanges I feel the trust. But I've not talked to them since this match yet so we'll see.” Recurring Problems and Player Response The manager expressed regret over known failings from his team in their European defeat, namely wasted chances and defensive lapses. Meanwhile, player Curtis Jones was blunter in his evaluation of the current crisis. “I haven't got the solutions. Honestly, I do not. I’m saying that to all,” Jones stated. “It’s just unacceptable. I don't need to wait to consider it. I'm beyond getting mad internally. I've reached the stage currently where I simply lack the phrases.” He went on, “It's difficult because I play for the team I support. I support them, and I’ve seen Liverpool since I was young.” “In recent memory, I haven’t experienced a Liverpool team going through a spell like this with outcomes so bad.” He stated, “However we continue to wear that badge on our shirts. And as long as it is gone, we will always battle.” “We’re going to try to help the side return to its rightful place, demonstrate to all again what this club is about and why it's known as the greatest side in the world.” “But right now, we’re in the shit and we have to turn it around.”
