The Liverpool head coach conceded that it was expected for concerns to be raised about his future following a further convincing loss against the Dutch champions.
Liverpool suffered their 9th loss in twelve games, representing the team's worst run after being relegated in 1953-54.
They were dominated by the Dutch league champions on a tough evening at their home ground.
“I'm confident, I am OK, I've received a lot of backing from above,” Slot remarked.
“It's important to change things and secure a win naturally but when you're working as a coach and underperforming then it is normal that questions are asked.”
He continued, “I am OK with my position. It is not the initial instance I’ve been in a tough spot but it's crucial that we improved our results.”
When asked to provide details on his conversations with the club's leadership, the head coach said:
“There's regular dialogue. They are supportive to the team 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, “In the normal conversations we have I perceive the trust. However I've not talked to them after this game so far so it remains to be seen.”
The manager lamented known weaknesses from his team in their Champions League loss, specifically poor finishing and leaking goals.
Meanwhile, midfielder Jones was more forthright in his evaluation of the team's situation.
“I haven't got the solutions. Truthfully, I do not. I’m saying that to everyone,” the midfielder stated.
“It’s just unacceptable. I don't need to wait to consider it. I’m past getting mad inside. I've reached the stage now where I just don’t have the vocabulary.”
He went on, “It's tough because I’m playing for the side I follow. I support them, and I’ve seen this club since I was young.”
“In recent memory, I've not seen a Liverpool team experiencing a phase like this with performances so bad.”
He stated, “But we continue to wear the emblem on our shirts. And until that badge is taken away, we will always compete.”
“We’re going to try to get this team return to the top, prove again what this club is about and the reason it's called the greatest side in the planet.”
“However currently, we're in trouble and it must improve.”
