🔗 Share this article Slot Maintains He Feels Secure and Retains Liverpool's Support Following PSV Defeat The Liverpool head coach acknowledged that it was expected for questions to be asked about his future after a further convincing loss versus the Dutch champions. The Reds suffered their 9th loss in twelve matches, marking the club's poorest run since being demoted in the 1953-54 season. They were outplayed by the Eredivisie champions on a difficult evening at Anfield. “I feel secure, I am OK, I've received plenty of backing from management,” the coach commented. “It would be great to change things and earn three points obviously but if you are coaching a team and struggling then it's typical that questions are asked.” He continued, “I accept my role. This isn't the initial instance I’ve been in a tough spot but it's crucial that we improved our results.” Conversations with The Board When asked to expand on his conversations with the Liverpool hierarchy, Slot said: “We talk a lot. They assist for the squad and for me and those talks happen but they aren't calling me all the time of the day to say they trust me.” He mentioned, “In the normal exchanges I sense the belief. However I haven’t spoken to them since this defeat yet so let’s see.” Recurring Failings and Squad Response Slot highlighted known failings from his Liverpool side in their Champions League loss, specifically poor finishing and conceding too easily. Meanwhile, player Curtis Jones was more forthright in his assessment of the team's situation. “I haven't got the answers. Honestly, I don’t. I’m saying that to everyone,” Jones said. “It is unacceptable. I don't need to wait to reflect. I’m past being angry internally. I've reached the stage now where I just don’t have the words.” He added, “It’s hard because I play for the side I follow. I support them, and I’ve seen this club since I was young.” “In recent memory, I haven’t experienced a Liverpool team going through a period such as this with results this poor.” Jones finished, “But we still have the emblem on our shirts. And until it is removed, we will always battle.” “We will attempt to get this team return to its rightful place, show everyone once more the values of this club and the reason it's called the best team in the world.” “However currently, we’re in the shit and it needs to change.”
