"I am feeling safe, I am OK, I have got a lot of support from above, Slot said. It would be nice to turn it around and get a victory of course but if you are working as a coach and not doing well then it is normal that questions are asked. I am OK with my position. It is not the first time I've been in a difficult position but it is about time that we turned it around."
"Asked to elaborate on his conversations with the Liverpool hierarchy, the head coach said: We talk a lot. They are helpful to the team and to me and we have those conversations but they don't call me every single minute of the day to say they trust me. In the normal conversations we have I feel the trust. But I haven't spoken to them after this game yet so let's see."
"I don't have the answers. Honestly, I don't. I'm saying that to everybody. It's just unacceptable. I don't even have to wait to think about it. I'm past being angry inside. I'm at the point now where I just don't have the words. It's hard because I'm playing for the team I support. I'm a fan, and I've seen this club all my life. In a long, long time, I haven't experienced a Liverpool team going through a period like this with results like these."
Liverpool have lost nine of their last 12 matches, marking the club's worst run since relegation in 1953-54. The team suffered a heavy Champions League defeat to PSV Eindhoven at Anfield, with several goals conceded and missed opportunities. The head coach reports feeling supported by the club hierarchy while acknowledging that poor results naturally invite questions and that a turnaround is needed. Recurring failings included missed chances and conceding too easily. Midfielder Curtis Jones described the situation as unacceptable, expressed deep frustration, and said he had no answers as the club endures an unusual run of poor results.
