Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says questioning whether his team is in "decline" is unfair.

Klopp was speaking at today's Champions League presser after Saturday's home defeat to Leeds United.

He said, "We do this job in public and the judgement for this will be later on in the season, or even at the end.

"Whatever questions will be asked then but you can't 100% judge the squad and this team.

"We can't make changes upfront, we've had the same situation in midfield for a long time now. We've had it everywhere.

"We are all out there to be judged that's fine, that includes the managers and players, that's how it is in professional football.

"We can't change anything, you have to go through it. There's been highs and lows.

"We expect more and I expect more but we have to make sure we get there with steps.

"You have to work on that. That's the challenge at the moment. Avoiding mistakes and keeping the good stuff in.

"We will not stop fighting. My job is not only about being here in the moment when the sun is shining and we have trophies. I will give all that I have."
