🔗 Share this article Arne Slot Asserts He Feels Safe and Has The Club's Backing Following PSV Defeat The Liverpool head coach conceded that it was understandable for doubts to be asked about his position following another convincing defeat against the Dutch champions. The Reds suffered their 9th loss in twelve games, marking the team's worst streak after being demoted in the 1953-54 season. They were dominated by the Eredivisie champions on a tough night at their home ground. “I'm confident, I'm fine, I've received plenty of support from above,” Slot commented. “It would be great to reverse this trend and secure a win of course but when you're in a managerial role and not doing well then it's typical that people question you.” He continued, “I accept my situation. This isn't the first time I’ve been in a difficult position but it's necessary that we changed our fortunes.” Talks with The Board When asked to expand on his dialogues with the club's leadership, the head coach said: “We communicate frequently. They assist for the squad and to me and we discuss these matters but they don't phone me constantly each day to say they back me.” He added, “During our regular discussions I feel the belief. However I've not talked to them after this game yet so let’s see.” Familiar Problems and Squad Response Slot lamented known failings from his Liverpool side in their Champions League defeat, specifically missed opportunities and conceding too easily. Meanwhile, player Curtis Jones was more direct in his assessment of the team's situation. “I don’t have the solutions. Truthfully, I do not. I’m saying that to everybody,” Jones remarked. “It’s just unacceptable. I don’t even need to wait to consider it. I'm beyond being angry internally. I’m at the point currently where I simply lack the phrases.” He added, “It's difficult because I play for the club I love. I’m a fan, and I’ve seen this club all my life.” “For many years, I haven’t experienced a Reds side experiencing a spell such as this with results like these.” Jones concluded, “But we still have the emblem on our chest. And until it is taken away, we’re always going to battle.” “We’re going to try to get this team return to where it needs to be, show everyone again what this club is about and the reason it's called the best team in the world.” “However currently, things are bad and we have to turn it around.”
