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

The Reds endured their ninth defeat in twelve matches, marking the team's worst streak after being relegated in the 1953-54 season.

They were taken apart by the Eredivisie champions on a difficult evening at their home ground.

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

“It would be nice to change things and get a victory of course but when you're working as a coach and not doing well then it's expected that questions are asked.”

He noted, “I accept my situation. This isn't the first time I've found myself in a difficult position but it's crucial that we changed our fortunes.”

Conversations with Liverpool Hierarchy

Upon being questioned to provide details on his dialogues with the team officials, the head coach said:

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

He further stated, “During our regular exchanges I feel the trust. But I've not talked to them since this game so far so let’s see.”

Recurring Problems and Player Reaction

The manager lamented familiar failings from his team in their Champions League loss, specifically wasted chances and leaking goals.

Meanwhile, midfielder Curtis Jones was blunter in his evaluation of the team's situation.

“I haven't got the solutions. Frankly, I don’t. I'm telling that to everyone,” the midfielder stated.

“It’s just not good enough. I don't need to wait to think about it. I’m past feeling anger internally. I’m at the point now where I simply lack the phrases.”

He went on, “It’s hard because I’m playing for the side I follow. I support them, and I've watched this club all my life.”

“In a long, long time, I haven’t experienced a Liverpool team experiencing a phase such as this with results so bad.”

He stated, “But we still have the emblem on our chest. And as long as that badge is removed, we'll continue to battle.”

“We’re going to try to bring this squad back to the top, demonstrate to all again the values of this club and why it's known as the greatest side in the world.”

“However currently, things are bad and we have to turn it around.”
