🔗 Share this article Slot Insists He Feels Safe and Has Liverpool's Backing Following PSV Humiliation The Liverpool head coach acknowledged that it was expected for doubts to be raised about his future after a further convincing defeat versus PSV Eindhoven. Liverpool endured their ninth defeat in twelve matches, marking the club's worst run after being relegated in the 1953-54 season. They were dominated by the Eredivisie title holders on a punishing night at their home ground. “I am feeling safe, I'm fine, I've received a lot of support from management,” the coach remarked. “It's important to change things and secure a win of course but when you're in a managerial role and underperforming then it's typical that questions are asked.” He continued, “I accept my role. This isn't the first time I’ve been in a challenging situation but it's crucial that we turned it around.” Talks with Liverpool Hierarchy Upon being questioned to expand on his dialogues with the team officials, the head coach revealed: “We talk a lot. They are helpful to the team and to me and we discuss these matters but they don’t call me every single minute of the day to say they have faith in me.” He mentioned, “During our regular exchanges I sense the trust. But I've not talked to them since this game so far so it remains to be seen.” Familiar Problems and Player Reaction The manager expressed regret over recurring shortcomings from his Liverpool side in their European defeat, specifically wasted chances and defensive lapses. Meanwhile, player Curtis Jones was more direct in his evaluation of the team's situation. “I haven't got the answers. Frankly, I do not. I'm telling that to all,” Jones said. “It is unacceptable. I don't have to wait to reflect. I’m past feeling anger inside. I've reached the stage currently where I simply lack the phrases.” He went on, “It's tough because I’m playing for the team I support. I'm a supporter, and I've watched this club for years.” “For many years, I've not seen a Liverpool team going through a period such as this with performances like these.” He stated, “But we still have the emblem on our shirts. And as long as it is removed, we'll continue to battle.” “Our aim is to help the side return to its rightful place, demonstrate to all once more what Liverpool stands for and why people call it the top club in the world.” “At this moment, we're in trouble and it needs to change.”
