🔗 Share this article Arne Slot Insists He Is Secure and Has Liverpool's Backing Following PSV Eindhoven Loss The Liverpool head coach acknowledged that it's understandable for questions to be raised about his position following another convincing loss against the Dutch champions. The Reds suffered their ninth loss in 12 matches, representing the club's worst streak after being relegated in the 1953-54 season. They were taken apart by the Dutch league title holders on a punishing night at Anfield. “I'm confident, I'm fine, I have got plenty of support from management,” Slot remarked. “It would be nice to turn it around and earn three points of course but when you're in a managerial role and underperforming then it's expected that doubts arise.” He continued, “I accept my situation. This isn't the initial instance I've found myself in a difficult position but it's crucial that we improved our results.” Discussions with Liverpool Hierarchy When asked to expand on his discussions with the team officials, Slot said: “We talk a lot. They are helpful for the squad and for me and we have those conversations but they don't phone me constantly each day to say they trust me.” He further stated, “During our regular discussions I feel the confidence. But I've not talked to them after this match so far so we'll see.” Persistent Failings and Squad Response The manager highlighted recurring weaknesses from his team in their Champions League defeat, specifically missed opportunities and conceding too easily. Meanwhile, player Jones was more direct in his assessment of the club’s predicament. “I don’t have the answers. Frankly, I do not. I’m saying that to everyone,” the midfielder said. “It's simply unacceptable. I don't need to wait to consider it. I’m past feeling anger internally. I’m at the point currently where I simply lack the words.” He added, “It's tough because I play for the club I love. I'm a supporter, and I’ve seen this club since I was young.” “In a long, long time, I've not seen a Liverpool team going through a period such as this with results so bad.” Jones stated, “However we continue to wear that badge on our chest. And as long as that badge is taken away, we will always fight.” “Our aim is to help the side return to where it needs to be, prove once more what Liverpool stands for and why it's known as the best team in the world.” “However currently, things are bad and we have to turn it around.”
