🔗 Share this article Slot Maintains He Is Secure and Has Liverpool's Backing Following PSV Eindhoven Defeat Arne Slot acknowledged that it's understandable for questions to be raised about his position after another heavy loss against PSV Eindhoven. The Reds endured their 9th defeat in twelve matches, representing the club's poorest streak after being relegated in 1953-54. They were dominated by the Dutch league title holders on a tough night at Anfield. “I'm confident, things are alright, I've received a lot of backing from management,” Slot commented. “It would be great to turn it around and get a victory obviously but when you're working as a coach and not doing well then it's typical that doubts arise.” He noted, “I'm comfortable with my role. It is not the first time I've found myself in a tough spot but it is about time that we changed our fortunes.” Conversations with The Board When asked to expand on his dialogues with the Liverpool hierarchy, Slot revealed: “There's regular dialogue. They are helpful to the team and to me and we discuss these matters but they don’t call me every single minute each day to say they have faith in me.” He mentioned, “Through standard exchanges I perceive the confidence. However I've not talked to them since this match yet so it remains to be seen.” Familiar Problems and Player Reaction Slot lamented recurring failings from his squad in their European defeat, specifically wasted chances and leaking goals. Meanwhile, midfielder Curtis Jones was blunter in his assessment of the current crisis. “I don’t have the solutions. Frankly, I do not. I'm telling that to all,” Jones stated. “It’s just not good enough. I don't need to wait to think about it. I'm beyond getting mad inside. I’m at the point now where I just don’t have the phrases.” He continued, “It’s hard because I play for the team I support. I support them, and I’ve seen this club for years.” “For many years, I haven’t experienced a Liverpool team experiencing a period such as this with results so bad.” He finished, “But we still have the emblem on our shirts. And as long as that badge is removed, we will always fight.” “We will attempt to get this team back to where it needs to be, prove again what Liverpool stands for and why people call it the greatest side in the planet.” “But right now, we’re in the shit and it needs to change.”
