Arne Slot conceded that it's natural for concerns to be raised about his future after another heavy loss versus PSV Eindhoven.

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

They were taken apart by the Dutch league champions on a punishing evening at their home ground.

“I am feeling safe, I'm fine, I have got plenty of backing from management,” the coach commented.

“It would be great to turn it around and get a victory naturally but if you are coaching a team and underperforming then it's expected that people question you.”

He noted, “I accept my role. It is not the initial instance I've found myself in a challenging situation but it's crucial that we changed our fortunes.”

Talks with Liverpool Hierarchy

Upon being questioned to elaborate on his conversations with the club's leadership, the head coach said:

“We communicate frequently. They are helpful for the squad and for me and those talks happen but they don't phone me all the time each day to say they back me.”

He mentioned, “During our regular discussions I sense the trust. But I haven’t spoken to them after this game so far so we'll see.”

Recurring Issues and Player Reaction

The manager highlighted recurring shortcomings from his squad in their Champions League defeat, specifically wasted chances and conceding too easily.

Meanwhile, midfielder Jones was more forthright in his evaluation of the club’s predicament.

“I don’t have the answers. Frankly, I do not. I’m saying that to everybody,” the midfielder stated.

“It is not good enough. I don’t even need to wait to consider it. I’m past feeling anger inside. I’m at the point now where I just don’t have the phrases.”

He went on, “It's tough because I’m playing for the side I follow. I’m a fan, and I've watched Liverpool all my life.”

“In recent memory, I haven’t experienced a Liverpool team enduring a spell such as this with results this poor.”

Jones concluded, “But we continue to wear the emblem on our chest. And as long as it is gone, we will always fight.”

“We’re going to try to help the side back to where it needs to be, demonstrate to all again what Liverpool stands for and why it's known as the greatest side in the planet.”

“At this moment, we’re in the shit and it needs to change.”
