Jurgen Klopp is confident he can turn around Liverpool’s fortunes, despite the Reds’ awful campaign reaching a new low at Wolves.
The Reds were beaten 3-0 at Molineux on Saturday, their seventh league defeat of a nightmare campaign. They were two down inside 12 minutes, with a Joel Matip own goal followed by a debut strike from Craig Dawson, before Wolves skipper Ruben Neves finished the game off midway through the second half.
Klopp was forced to listen to home fans singing “you’re getting sacked in the morning” as the final stages of Saturday’s game were played out, and while there is no chance of that happening, he was asked in his post-match press conference whether he still has confidence in his ability to turn things around at Anfield. “Yeah, yeah. Absolutely,” he replied, although he also said that he was sick of offering excuses for his team’s poor performances.
“How can I not be concerned?” he said. “I cannot sit here and say it’s all OK and we did well. It’s not. I was asked if it’s because of last season, [playing] 63 games. Yes, of course, it’s clear that it has influenced the first part of the season, but how long do we want to suffer from that?”
