Arne Slot Maintains He Feels Secure and Has Liverpool's Support After PSV Eindhoven Loss

The Liverpool head coach acknowledged that it's natural for doubts to be asked about his position following a further convincing loss against the Dutch champions.

The Reds endured their 9th defeat in twelve games, representing the team's poorest streak since being relegated in 1953-54.

They were taken apart by the Dutch league champions on a punishing evening at Anfield.

“I am feeling safe, I am OK, I have got significant support from management,” the coach commented.

“It would be great to turn it around and get a victory of course but if you are coaching a team and not doing well then it is normal that questions are asked.”

He noted, “I accept my position. This isn't the initial instance I've found myself in a tough spot but it is about time that we changed our fortunes.”

Conversations with The Board

Upon being questioned to provide details on his dialogues with the team officials, Slot explained:

“There's regular dialogue. They are helpful to the team and for me and those talks happen but they don’t call me every single minute each day to say they back me.”

He mentioned, “During our regular exchanges I feel the trust. But I haven’t spoken to them after this match so far so let’s see.”

Familiar Failings and Player Response

Slot highlighted recurring shortcomings from his Liverpool side in their European defeat, namely wasted chances and conceding too easily.

Meanwhile, midfielder Curtis Jones was blunter in his assessment of the team's situation.

“I haven't got the solutions. Honestly, I don’t. I'm telling that to everybody,” Jones stated.

“It is unacceptable. I don't have to wait to think about it. I'm beyond feeling anger internally. I’m at the point now where I simply lack the words.”

He went on, “It's difficult because I play for the team I support. I support them, and I’ve seen this club all my life.”

“In a long, long time, I've not seen a Liverpool team enduring a spell such as this with outcomes like these.”

Jones stated, “But we continue to wear that badge on our chest. And as long as it is gone, we’re always going to battle.”

“We will attempt to get this team back to the top, show everyone 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.”
