Slot response to sack claims
Understandably, Arne Slot was quizzed on Wednesday night over whether he is feeling the pressure and whether his job in the Anfield dugout is at risk.
The Dutchman admitted that while it's understandable for questions to be asked under the circumstances, he still feels the trust from the club's hierarchy.
"It is a shock for everyone, for the players, for me, this is very, very unexpected," Slot told the media in his press conference. "I am feeling safe, I am okay though.
"It would be nice to turn it around and get a victory but if you are working as a coach and not doing well then it is normal that questions are asked.
"If any manager around the world loses football games, let alone as many as we have lost, it’s quite normal people have an opinion about that. If it’s fair or unfair, it’s for other people to judge. Is that normal? I think it is. If you lose so many times, people start talking about that.
"I have got a lot of support from above. I am okay with my position. They [the board] don’t call every single minute of the day to say they trust me but in the normal conversations we have, I feel the trust."
