Arne Slot admitted that it was expected for doubts to be raised about his position following another heavy defeat versus the Dutch champions.
The Reds endured their 9th defeat in 12 games, marking the club's poorest streak after being demoted in 1953-54.
They were outplayed by the Eredivisie champions on a tough night at Anfield.
āI feel secure, I'm fine, I've received plenty of backing from management,ā Slot stated.
āIt would be great to reverse this trend and earn three points naturally but when you're working as a coach and underperforming then it is normal that questions are asked.ā
He added, āI accept my situation. This isn't the first time Iāve been in a tough spot but it's necessary that we improved our results.ā
Upon being questioned to elaborate on his dialogues with the Liverpool hierarchy, the head coach revealed:
āWe communicate frequently. They are helpful to the team and for me and those talks happen but they aren't calling me all the time of the day to say they back me.ā
He mentioned, āIn the normal exchanges I feel the confidence. However I havenāt spoken to them after this defeat yet so we'll see.ā
The manager expressed regret over recurring weaknesses from his team in their Champions League loss, namely missed opportunities and leaking goals.
Meanwhile, midfielder Jones was blunter in his evaluation of the clubās predicament.
āI donāt have the answers. Frankly, I do not. Iām saying that to everyone,ā the midfielder remarked.
āItās just unacceptable. I don't have to wait to consider it. I'm beyond getting mad inside. Iām at the point currently where I simply lack the phrases.ā
He went on, āIt's tough because Iām playing for the club I love. I support them, and Iāve seen Liverpool all my life.ā
āIn recent memory, I've not seen a Reds side enduring a spell of this nature with outcomes so bad.ā
He stated, āHowever we still have the emblem on our shirts. And as long as it is taken away, weāre always going to compete.ā
āOur aim is to get this team return to its rightful place, prove again what Liverpool stands for and why it's known as the top club in the world.ā
āBut right now, we're in trouble and it must improve.ā
