Slot Asserts He Feels Secure and Has Liverpool's Support After PSV Humiliation

Arne Slot acknowledged that it was expected for concerns to be raised about his position after another convincing defeat against PSV Eindhoven.

Liverpool suffered their ninth defeat in twelve matches, representing the club's poorest streak after being demoted in the 1953-54 season.

They were taken apart by the Eredivisie title holders on a punishing evening at Anfield.

“I am feeling safe, I am OK, I have got a lot of support from management,” Slot commented.

“It would be great to turn it around and secure a win of course but when you're working as a coach and underperforming then it's expected that people question you.”

He noted, “I'm comfortable with my situation. This isn't the initial instance I've found myself in a tough spot but it is about time that we turned it around.”

Discussions with The Board

When asked to expand on his dialogues with the Liverpool hierarchy, the head coach said:

“There's regular dialogue. They are helpful to the team and to me and we have those conversations but they aren't calling me all the time of the day to say they back me.”

He further stated, “In the normal exchanges I feel the confidence. However I've not talked to them after this game yet so it remains to be seen.”

Recurring Problems and Squad Reaction

The manager expressed regret over known weaknesses from his team in their European defeat, namely poor finishing and conceding too easily.

Meanwhile, midfielder Curtis Jones was more forthright in his evaluation of the club’s predicament.

“I haven't got the answers. Frankly, I do not. I’m saying that to everybody,” Jones said.

“It's simply unacceptable. I don't need to wait to think about it. I’m past feeling anger inside. I’m at the point currently where I simply lack the phrases.”

He added, “It's tough because I’m playing for the side I follow. I’m a fan, and I've watched this club for years.”

“In recent memory, I've not seen a Liverpool team enduring a period of this nature with outcomes this poor.”

He concluded, “But we continue to wear the crest on our chest. And until it is removed, we will always battle.”

“We will attempt to help the side return to where it needs to be, show everyone once more what Liverpool stands for and why people call it the greatest side in the world.”

“At this moment, we’re in the shit and it must improve.”
