The Liverpool head coach acknowledged that it was expected for doubts to be raised about his future after a further convincing loss versus PSV Eindhoven.
The Reds suffered their ninth defeat in 12 games, marking the team's worst streak after being relegated in the 1953-54 season.
They were taken apart by the Eredivisie champions on a tough evening at Anfield.
âI am feeling safe, I am OK, I have got a lot of support from management,â the coach remarked.
âIt would be great to reverse this trend and earn three points naturally but when you're coaching a team and underperforming then it is normal that people question you.â
He continued, âI'm comfortable with my role. This isn't the initial instance I've found myself in a challenging situation but it's crucial that we improved our results.â
When asked to elaborate on his dialogues with the club's leadership, the head coach explained:
âWe communicate frequently. They are supportive for the squad and for me and those talks happen but they aren't calling me all the time of the day to say they back me.â
He added, âDuring our regular exchanges I sense the trust. But I havenât spoken to them since this defeat so far so letâs see.â
Slot expressed regret over known shortcomings from his team in their Champions League defeat, specifically poor finishing and leaking goals.
Meanwhile, player Jones was blunter in his assessment of the current crisis.
âI haven't got the solutions. Honestly, I do not. Iâm saying that to everyone,â Jones said.
âItâs just unacceptable. I donât even need to wait to think about it. Iâm past getting mad internally. I've reached the stage currently where I just donât have the phrases.â
He added, âItâs hard because I play for the club I love. I'm a supporter, and I've watched this club all my life.â
âIn a long, long time, I havenât experienced a Reds side experiencing a phase such as this with results so bad.â
He finished, âHowever we still have that badge on our shirts. And until that badge is removed, we'll continue to fight.â
âWeâre going to try to help the side back to the top, demonstrate to all again what this club is about and why people call it the greatest side in the planet.â
âBut right now, we're in trouble and it needs to change.â
