Arne Slot admitted that it's expected for questions to be asked about his position following another convincing loss versus PSV Eindhoven.

The Reds endured their 9th loss in 12 matches, representing the club's poorest run since being relegated in 1953-54.

They were taken apart by the Eredivisie title holders on a difficult evening at their home ground.

“I am feeling safe, I'm fine, I've received a lot of support from the top,” the coach remarked.

“It's important to turn it around and earn three points naturally but when you're working as a coach and not doing well then it's expected that doubts arise.”

He noted, “I accept my situation. This isn't the initial instance I’ve been in a tough spot but it's crucial that we improved our results.”

Talks with The Board

Upon being questioned to expand on his discussions with the club's leadership, the head coach revealed:

“We communicate frequently. They assist for the squad and to me and we have those conversations but they don't phone me constantly of the day to say they trust me.”

He added, “In the normal exchanges I perceive the belief. However I've not talked to them after this match yet so it remains to be seen.”

Recurring Failings and Squad Reaction

Slot highlighted known failings from his Liverpool side in their European defeat, namely poor finishing and conceding too easily.

Meanwhile, player Curtis Jones was more forthright in his view of the current crisis.

“I haven't got the answers. Frankly, I don’t. I’m saying that to everybody,” Jones said.

“It’s just unacceptable. I don’t even have to wait to consider it. I'm beyond feeling anger inside. I've reached the stage currently where I just don’t have the phrases.”

He added, “It's tough because I play for the side I follow. I'm a supporter, and I've watched Liverpool all my life.”

“In a long, long time, I haven’t experienced a Reds side enduring a spell like this with performances this poor.”

He concluded, “But we continue to wear the crest on our shirts. And until that badge is gone, we'll continue to compete.”

“Our aim is to bring this squad return to the top, prove again what Liverpool stands for and why it's known as the top club in the planet.”

“At this moment, we’re in the shit and we have to turn it around.”
