🔗 Share this article Arne Slot Insists He Is Safe and Has The Club's Backing Following PSV Eindhoven Loss The Liverpool head coach admitted that it's expected for concerns to be raised about his position following a further convincing loss versus PSV Eindhoven. The Reds suffered their ninth loss in twelve matches, representing the team's poorest run after being relegated in the 1953-54 season. They were outplayed by the Dutch league champions on a punishing night at Anfield. “I feel secure, things are alright, I've received significant support from above,” the coach stated. “It would be great to turn it around and secure a win of course but when you're in a managerial role and not doing well then it's typical that questions are asked.” He noted, “I'm comfortable with my role. This isn't the first time I’ve been in a challenging situation but it's crucial that we turned it around.” Discussions with The Board Upon being questioned to expand on his conversations with the club's leadership, Slot explained: “We talk a lot. They are helpful to the team and for me and we have those conversations but they don't phone me constantly each day to say they trust me.” He further stated, “Through standard discussions I feel the trust. However I haven’t spoken to them since this defeat so far so we'll see.” Persistent Problems and Player Response The manager lamented recurring weaknesses from his team in their European defeat, specifically poor finishing and defensive lapses. Meanwhile, player 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 everybody,” the midfielder said. “It’s just unacceptable. I don't have to wait to think about it. I'm beyond being angry internally. I've reached the stage now where I just don’t have the words.” He went on, “It’s hard because I’m playing for the club I love. I'm a supporter, and I’ve seen this club for years.” “In recent memory, I haven’t experienced a Reds side experiencing a phase of this nature with performances so bad.” Jones stated, “However we continue to wear the emblem on our shirts. And as long as that badge is removed, we will always fight.” “We will attempt to bring this squad return to where it needs to be, demonstrate to all again the values of this club and why it's known as the top club in the world.” “At this moment, we're in trouble and it must improve.”
