Slot Maintains He Feels Secure and Has Liverpool's Support Following PSV Eindhoven Humiliation

The Liverpool head coach admitted that it was expected for doubts to be asked about his future after another heavy defeat against the Dutch champions.

The Reds suffered their ninth defeat in twelve games, marking the team's poorest streak since being relegated in the 1953-54 season.

They were outplayed by the Eredivisie champions on a tough evening at Anfield.

“I'm confident, things are alright, I've received plenty of support from above,” the coach commented.

“It would be great to change things and get a victory obviously but if you are in a managerial role and not doing well then it is normal that people question you.”

He noted, “I am OK with my situation. It is not the initial instance I’ve been in a difficult position but it's necessary that we turned it around.”

Conversations with Club Management

When asked to expand on his dialogues with the team officials, Slot explained:

“There's regular dialogue. They are helpful for the squad and for me and we have those conversations but they don’t call me every single minute each day to say they back me.”

He mentioned, “Through standard exchanges I sense the trust. But I haven’t spoken to them since this match so far so let’s see.”

Familiar Failings and Player Reaction

The manager expressed regret over familiar failings from his team in their Champions League loss, specifically poor finishing and conceding too easily.

Meanwhile, midfielder Jones was blunter in his view of the team's situation.

“I don’t have the solutions. Honestly, I do not. I’m saying that to all,” the midfielder stated.

“It is not good enough. I don’t even have to wait to reflect. I'm beyond being angry inside. I've reached the stage now where I just don’t have the phrases.”

He went on, “It's difficult because I’m playing for the club I love. I'm a supporter, and I've watched this club all my life.”

“For many years, I've not seen a Reds side enduring a spell like this with results so bad.”

Jones stated, “However we continue to wear the emblem on our shirts. And until that badge is gone, we'll continue to compete.”

“Our aim is to bring this squad return to where it needs to be, show everyone once more what this club is about and the reason it's called the greatest side in the world.”

“At this moment, we're in trouble and it must improve.”
