QPR boss Harry Redknapp insists his job at Loftus Road is safe, despite reports he could be sacked after a poor start to the season.
The Londoners have struggled on their return to the top flight and prop up the Premier League with just four points to show from their opening seven games.
Both Tony Pulis and Tim Sherwood have been linked with the post this week, but speaking ahead of his side's home clash with Liverpool on Sunday, Redknapp said it was too early to be panicking.
"Until you've been under pressure you don't know what pressure is and I'm not under pressure, none whatsoever. I'm looking forward to the game on Sunday," he said.
"We have played seven games, we are seven games into a Premier League season. We have played three home games, we got beaten by Hull 1-0 and missed a penalty, we beat Sunderland and drew with Stoke in a tough game - it is not easy.
"I still have every confidence in the players here that we will start getting the results and hopefully that will start on Sunday."

Redknapp's current deal expires at the end of the season, but he still enjoys a close working relationship with Tony Fernandes and is not worried about negotiating a new deal.
"I don't need assurances from anybody," he added.
"It is up to Tony what he does. If he is not happy come and talk to me - I'm a big boy. I'm going for dinner with him tonight. I'm not going to be there buying him dinner to keep my job - I will let him buy dinner.
"The impasse over my contract is that I wasn't bothered about signing a new contract, not in the slightest.
"What is a contract? A contract is you work for a club. If they don't want you, you talk to the chairman, sort out what you're doing and you move on.
"If we stay up and at the end of the year Tony wants to talk about another year with me I'd be delighted, that is what I want to do in my life."
