🔗 Share this article Arne Slot Insists He Feels Safe and Has Liverpool's Support After PSV Eindhoven Loss The Liverpool head coach acknowledged that it's expected for doubts to be asked about his position following another heavy loss versus the Dutch champions. Liverpool suffered their 9th loss in twelve matches, representing the team's worst run after being demoted in the 1953-54 season. They were taken apart by the Dutch league title holders on a difficult evening at Anfield. “I'm confident, I am OK, I've received plenty of support from management,” Slot remarked. “It would be nice to reverse this trend and secure a win naturally but if you are coaching a team and struggling then it is normal that people question you.” He continued, “I'm comfortable with my position. This isn't the initial instance I've found myself in a tough spot but it's necessary that we changed our fortunes.” Discussions with Liverpool Hierarchy When asked to provide details on his dialogues with the club's leadership, the head coach revealed: “There's regular dialogue. They are supportive for the squad and to me and those talks happen but they don't phone me constantly each day to say they trust me.” He added, “In the normal discussions I feel the belief. However I haven’t spoken to them after this defeat so far so it remains to be seen.” Persistent Issues and Player Response Slot lamented recurring weaknesses from his team in their European loss, namely missed opportunities and conceding too easily. Meanwhile, player Jones was more direct in his view of the team's situation. “I haven't got the answers. Frankly, I don’t. I’m saying that to everybody,” the midfielder stated. “It is unacceptable. I don’t even have to wait to reflect. I’m past being angry internally. I've reached the stage currently where I just don’t have the vocabulary.” He went on, “It's tough because I’m playing for the club I love. I'm a supporter, and I’ve seen this club since I was young.” “For many years, I haven’t experienced a Liverpool team enduring a period of this nature with performances like these.” Jones concluded, “However we continue to wear that badge on our chest. And as long as that badge is gone, we will always fight.” “We will attempt to bring this squad back to its rightful place, prove once more the values of this club and the reason it's called the best team in the world.” “But right now, we're in trouble and it must improve.”
