🔗 Share this article Arne Slot Insists He Feels Secure and Has Liverpool's Backing Following PSV Defeat The Liverpool head coach admitted that it's natural for doubts to be asked about his position following another heavy loss versus the Dutch champions. Liverpool suffered their ninth defeat in twelve games, representing the club's poorest streak after being demoted in 1953-54. They were taken apart by the Eredivisie champions on a tough night at their home ground. “I'm confident, I'm fine, I have got significant backing from the top,” Slot remarked. “It would be great to reverse this trend and secure a win of course but if you are in a managerial role and struggling then it is normal that questions are asked.” He noted, “I accept my position. This isn't the first time I've found myself in a tough spot but it is about time that we turned it around.” Talks with The Board When asked to elaborate on his dialogues with the club's leadership, the head coach said: “We communicate frequently. They are helpful for the squad and to me and those talks happen but they don't phone me constantly each day to say they have faith in me.” He mentioned, “During our regular discussions I sense the confidence. However I've not talked to them after this game so far so we'll see.” Persistent Issues and Player Reaction The manager expressed regret over known failings from his Liverpool side in their European loss, specifically poor finishing and leaking goals. Meanwhile, midfielder Jones was blunter in his evaluation of the club’s predicament. “I don’t have the solutions. Frankly, I do not. I'm telling that to everyone,” the midfielder stated. “It’s just unacceptable. I don't need to wait to think about it. I’m past being angry inside. I’m at the point currently where I simply lack the phrases.” He continued, “It's difficult because I play for the side I follow. I'm a supporter, and I’ve seen Liverpool all my life.” “For many years, I haven’t experienced a Liverpool team experiencing a period like this with performances this poor.” He concluded, “But we still have that badge on our shirts. And until it is taken away, we'll continue to battle.” “Our aim is to help the side back to where it needs to be, show everyone once more what this club is about and why people call it the best team in the planet.” “But right now, things are bad and it needs to change.”
