🔗 Share this article Arne Slot Insists He Feels Secure and Retains Liverpool's Backing Following PSV Loss The Liverpool head coach admitted that it was expected for questions to be raised about his future after another heavy defeat versus PSV Eindhoven. Liverpool suffered their ninth loss in twelve matches, representing the team's poorest run after being relegated in the 1953-54 season. They were dominated by the Dutch league title holders on a tough evening at Anfield. “I'm confident, things are alright, I have got a lot of support from the top,” Slot commented. “It would be nice to change things and earn three points of course but if you are working as a coach and not doing well then it's typical that people question you.” He added, “I am OK with my situation. This isn't the initial instance I’ve been in a tough spot but it's crucial that we turned it around.” Talks with Club Management Upon being questioned to provide details on his discussions with the Liverpool hierarchy, the head coach explained: “There's regular dialogue. They are supportive for the squad and for me and we discuss these matters but they aren't calling me every single minute of the day to say they back me.” He mentioned, “During our regular conversations we have I feel the confidence. But I've not talked to them after this defeat yet so let’s see.” Familiar Issues and Squad Response Slot expressed regret over familiar weaknesses from his Liverpool side in their European loss, namely poor finishing and conceding too easily. Meanwhile, player Curtis Jones was blunter in his view of the current crisis. “I don’t have the answers. Truthfully, I do not. I’m saying that to everyone,” the midfielder stated. “It’s just not good enough. I don't have to wait to reflect. I'm beyond being angry internally. I've reached the stage now where I just don’t have the phrases.” He continued, “It's tough because I play for the team I support. I'm a supporter, and I've watched Liverpool for years.” “In a long, long time, I've not seen a Liverpool team experiencing a spell such as this with performances so bad.” Jones concluded, “However we continue to wear the crest on our chest. And until that badge is gone, we’re always going to compete.” “We will attempt to get this team return to where it needs to be, prove once more what this club is about and why people call it the greatest side in the world.” “But right now, we're in trouble and it needs to change.”
