Leeds boss Jesse Marsch took aim at sack talk after victory at Liverpool.
Leeds won 2-1 thanks to a dramatic late winner from Crysencio Summerville.
Marsch said, "It was a good performance, again. It was good that we were able to reward ourselves. My feeling is that we shouldn't be in the situation we're in, but we are. I've tried to stay calm, but I've also tried to push. The players have stepped up big today, that's the reason we were able to get the win.
"You can go through the last eight games and we weren't second best a lot of the times. We talked about staying strong and finding ways to make plays. It's a tough place to come and the three points is big for us.
"With our principles, pressing, counter-pressing, ability against the ball and in transition... In the first half we could have had more goals. It felt like we were going to go into half-time at 1-1 which seemed unjust.
"We switched Crysencio Summerville and Jack Harrison to try and swap their roles a little bit. Patrick Bamford came in and helped. Wilfried Gnonto came in and helped. I thought all the substitutes did a good job.
"I was focused on us staying disciplined within the match. I've believed in this group. We shouldn't be in this situation if you look at the metrics, but we are. Now we've got something like this and now we have to stay strong.
"We're still in the process of trying to build something that's new. In our good moments we're really good, in our bad moments we look too vulnerable and naïve.
"Everybody's made a big deal about firing me, but the board and I have been unified and we've stuck together."
