🔗 Share this article Slot Insists He Is Secure and Has The Club's Backing After PSV Defeat The Liverpool head coach admitted that it's natural for concerns to be raised about his position after a further convincing loss against PSV Eindhoven. Liverpool endured their 9th loss in twelve games, marking the team's poorest streak after being relegated in 1953-54. They were taken apart by the Dutch league title holders on a difficult night at their home ground. “I'm confident, things are alright, I have got significant backing from the top,” Slot remarked. “It would be great to reverse this trend and get a victory naturally but when you're in a managerial role and underperforming then it is normal that questions are asked.” He continued, “I am OK with my role. This isn't the first time I've found myself in a challenging situation but it's crucial that we improved our results.” Conversations with Liverpool Hierarchy When asked to elaborate on his discussions with the Liverpool hierarchy, Slot explained: “We talk a lot. They are supportive for the squad and for me and those talks happen but they aren't calling me every single minute each day to say they trust me.” He further stated, “Through standard discussions I perceive the belief. But I haven’t spoken to them since this defeat yet so we'll see.” Persistent Problems and Player Response Slot expressed regret over familiar weaknesses from his Liverpool side in their European defeat, namely wasted chances and defensive lapses. Meanwhile, player Curtis Jones was blunter in his evaluation of the club’s predicament. “I don’t have the solutions. Honestly, I do not. I’m saying that to all,” the midfielder stated. “It is unacceptable. I don’t even have to wait to think about it. I'm beyond getting mad inside. I've reached the stage currently where I simply lack the words.” He went on, “It's difficult because I’m playing for the side I follow. I’m a fan, and I’ve seen Liverpool for years.” “For many years, I haven’t experienced a Reds side experiencing a period such as this with results like these.” He finished, “However we continue to wear the emblem on our shirts. And as long as it is taken away, we'll continue to fight.” “Our aim is to get this team back to where it needs to be, demonstrate to all once more what this club is about and why it's known as the best team in the planet.” “But right now, we’re in the shit and it must improve.”
