Emery also said that he was positive after the defeat, but he appreciated that fans were disappointed with the result.
When asked whether he fears losing his job, Emery simply told BTSport: "I’ll analyse the match, and I’m thinking about the next match.
"The boss said that although the team lost, there were some positive signs throughout the match.
He added: “We lost here, but for the Europa League, we have the last match to achieve [topping the group].
“We showed an improvement in the first-half and we had a lot of opportunities to score, but we did not take them.
“The first five or 10 minutes of the second half were good, but then we lost control for 15 minutes, and we could not change the result.
“We tried to come back but we did not create any big opportunities to score.
"[The fans] were angry, they were disappointed. We lost control ofthe game in 15 minutes, and they achieved the result in that period.
"I am being positive, but above all realistic. We lost a very good opportunity to win the game tonight, but we improved from the last match here.
"We are first in the table, and lost the opportunity to progress tonight, but we will take another in Liege."
