The defeat at home at Anfield on the morning of November 27 not only caused The Reds to get bogged down in the European Cup, but also extended their streak of 9 defeats in the last 12 matches in all competitions.
Liverpool are currently down to 12th place in the Premier League and only 13th in the Champions League, unacceptable numbers for a team that had ambitions to compete for the title at the beginning of the season.
The pressure is on, but coach Slot remains calm when asked if he is worried about his job: "I'm not worried. My focus is on analyzing and improving the team, not thinking about my personal future."
The Dutch coach admitted he has not done his job well this season: "There were individual mistakes, but the whole team tried. I have to do better, and I am trying to do that every day."
Liverpool's poor form was exacerbated by back-to-back 3-0 defeats to Man City and Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, before being thrashed by PSV in the Champions League. For the first time since September 1992, the Merseyside club have conceded three or more goals in three consecutive games, a red flag for their defence.
Asked if he still had the support of the club's hierarchy, Coach Slot said: "Yes, but not in the way that they call me every minute to say they support me. We always communicated a lot, whether we won last season or lost. That helped me feel the trust. But after this match, I haven't talked to them yet."
With a busy end-of-year schedule ahead, Arne Slot's future at Anfield will probably be decided not by reassurances, but by actual results in the coming rounds.
