Adams has insisted he has the support of the club's chairman and players.

Portsmouth have won just two of their 15 Premier League matches since Adams took charge.

The beleaguered Portsmouth manager's future has come under increasing scrutiny following Pompey's 3-1 loss to Fulham on Saturday, the south coast club's sixth defeat in seven games.

A number of names have been linked with Adams' job, although former West Ham boss Alan Curbishley has denied reports he has been asked to succeed the former England and Arsenal captain. I'm not going to walk away because of a couple of guys

Adams said his team needed to build on their promising performance against Aston Villa at the end of January, a game they lost 1-0.

Portsmouth have not beaten Liverpool since April 2007, although the visitors will be without influential captain Steven Gerrard on Saturday.

And Adams added that he hopes the Reds might be a little jaded after their 1-0 FA Cup defeat by Everton in midweek.

Former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch said the Portsmouth players were "fully behind" their manager.
