🔗 Share this article Slot Maintains He Feels Secure and Retains The Club's Backing After PSV Defeat Arne Slot admitted that it was understandable for doubts to be raised about his position after another convincing defeat versus PSV Eindhoven. Liverpool endured their 9th loss in twelve matches, representing the club's poorest streak since being relegated in 1953-54. They were dominated by the Eredivisie title holders on a difficult evening at their home ground. “I'm confident, I am OK, I've received a lot of backing from above,” the coach commented. “It would be nice to change things and earn three points of course but if you are in a managerial role and underperforming then it's typical that questions are asked.” He continued, “I'm comfortable with my situation. It is not the initial instance I've found myself in a tough spot but it's necessary that we turned it around.” Talks with Liverpool Hierarchy When asked to provide details on his dialogues with the team officials, Slot explained: “There's regular dialogue. They are supportive for the squad and to me and those talks happen but they don’t call me constantly each day to say they back me.” He further stated, “During our regular exchanges I feel the trust. But I've not talked to them since this match yet so it remains to be seen.” Familiar Problems and Player Reaction Slot expressed regret over known shortcomings from his Liverpool side in their European defeat, namely wasted chances and defensive lapses. Meanwhile, player Curtis Jones was blunter in his view of the current crisis. “I haven't got the solutions. Truthfully, I don’t. I'm telling that to everyone,” Jones said. “It's simply unacceptable. I don't have to wait to reflect. I’m past getting mad inside. I've reached the stage now where I simply lack the phrases.” He added, “It’s hard because I play for the side I follow. I'm a supporter, and I’ve seen Liverpool for years.” “In a long, long time, I've not seen a Reds side going through a phase such as this with performances so bad.” Jones concluded, “But we still have the emblem on our shirts. And as long as it is removed, we'll continue to battle.” “We will attempt to help the side back to where it needs to be, demonstrate to all once more what this club is about and the reason it's called the greatest side in the planet.” “At this moment, things are bad and it must improve.”
