🔗 Share this article Slot Maintains He Feels Secure and Has The Club's Backing After PSV Humiliation The Liverpool head coach acknowledged that it was understandable for concerns to be raised about his position after another convincing loss versus PSV Eindhoven. The Reds suffered their ninth loss in twelve games, representing the team's poorest streak since being demoted in the 1953-54 season. They were taken apart by the Dutch league champions on a tough evening at their home ground. “I am feeling safe, I am OK, I've received plenty of backing from above,” Slot remarked. “It's important to reverse this trend and earn three points naturally but if you are coaching a team and underperforming then it's typical that doubts arise.” He continued, “I'm comfortable with my role. It is not the first time I’ve been in a difficult position but it's necessary that we improved our results.” Talks with The Board Upon being questioned to expand on his discussions with the team officials, the head coach revealed: “There's regular dialogue. They are helpful for the squad and to me and those talks happen but they don’t call me constantly of the day to say they trust me.” He added, “In the normal conversations we have I sense the confidence. But I've not talked to them since this defeat so far so it remains to be seen.” Persistent Problems and Player Response Slot expressed regret over known shortcomings from his squad in their European loss, namely missed opportunities and defensive lapses. Meanwhile, player Curtis Jones was more direct in his view of the club’s predicament. “I haven't got the solutions. Truthfully, I don’t. I'm telling that to everyone,” the midfielder said. “It's simply unacceptable. I don't need to wait to reflect. I’m past being angry inside. I've reached the stage now where I just don’t have the words.” He added, “It's tough because I play for the side I follow. I'm a supporter, and I've watched Liverpool since I was young.” “For many years, I haven’t experienced a Reds side going through a period of this nature with outcomes like these.” Jones stated, “However we continue to wear that badge on our shirts. And as long as that badge is taken away, we'll continue to compete.” “We’re going to try to bring this squad back to where it needs to be, show everyone again the values of this club and the reason it's called the top club in the planet.” “However currently, we’re in the shit and we have to turn it around.”
