The Liverpool head coach acknowledged that it's expected for questions to be raised about his future after a further heavy defeat against PSV Eindhoven.

The Reds endured their 9th loss in 12 games, representing the team's worst run after being demoted in the 1953-54 season.

They were dominated by the Dutch league title holders on a difficult night at their home ground.

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

“It would be nice to change things and get a victory naturally but if you are working as a coach and struggling then it is normal that doubts arise.”

He added, “I accept my position. It is not the first time I’ve been in a challenging situation but it is about time that we turned it around.”

Conversations with Club Management

When asked to expand on his conversations with the Liverpool hierarchy, the head coach said:

“We talk a lot. They are helpful for the squad and for me and we discuss these matters but they don’t call me all the time each day to say they have faith in me.”

He mentioned, “In the normal discussions I perceive the belief. However I haven’t spoken to them after this defeat yet so let’s see.”

Recurring Issues and Squad Response

Slot lamented known failings from his squad in their Champions League defeat, specifically poor finishing and conceding too easily.

Meanwhile, midfielder Jones was more direct in his evaluation of the team's situation.

“I haven't got the solutions. Honestly, I do not. I’m saying that to all,” the midfielder stated.

“It's simply not good enough. I don’t even need to wait to reflect. I'm beyond getting mad internally. I've reached the stage currently where I simply lack the phrases.”

He went on, “It's difficult because I’m playing for the team I support. I'm a supporter, and I’ve seen Liverpool all my life.”

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

Jones stated, “However we continue to wear the crest on our shirts. And until that badge is gone, we will always compete.”

“We’re going to try to bring this squad return to where it needs to be, prove once more what this club is about and the reason it's called the greatest side in the planet.”

“At this moment, we're in trouble and it needs to change.”
