After this latest defeat, Slot says he feels “safe” at Liverpool and is comfortable in his position at the club.
“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.”
