Klopp claims Liverpool must 'reinvent themselves' after Napoli defeat

Jurgen Klopp has admitted it could be time for Liverpool to 'reinvent themselves'.

After an inconsistent start to the Premier League season, Liverpool were thrashed 4-1 by Napoli in the Champions League on Wednesday.

"We played bad in the first half but usually we don't concede three goal," Klopp told BT Sport.

"With Alisson in goal, you have to be really bad for that to happen. We played here when we lost 2-0 and that was an awful game. It looks like we have to reinvent ourselves. There is a lot of things lacking, the fun part is that we have to do it in the middle of a Premier League an Champions League season.

"We have Wolves on Saturday and if they saw the game tonight, they cannot stop laughing, they would say - and I would too - it is the perfect moment to play them. We have to set up better in pretty much everything.

"Lots of soul searching, you could see that on the pitch. We are not working as a team, it is not personal stuff or pointing (at each other). In football there are always solutions. We don't play good enough, that is obvious and that is why we lose games. We play in the strongest league in the world and have a pretty good Champions League group. There is a job to do, my responsibility and I need time to think about it. There are a few obvious things and we have to reset and go."
