Liverpool boss Klopp: I haven't lost confidence in these players; I can turn it around

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists he believes in his players after their 3-0 defeat at Wolves.

Klopp was asked if he had lost confidence in his squad.

He said: "No. I don't think they are [at their] best in the moment and do I like that? No. But I still know how good they are and how good they can be. But football, and life, is not like this. We work every day and it's not because of him, him, him. So, these things happen because we cannot help ourselves in these moments. How can you get in a situation… seven or eight players had nothing to do with the first goal, the other seven [or] eight players had nothing to do with the second goal – but everybody is influenced by it. So, these are the situations we have to go through.

"I don't lose confidence in the boys or whatever, but I see where we have to improve. That's what we are working on but again it makes this so typical to the situation. The start is horrible and then it's normal and then it's great but, OK, without finishing, I get that. Playing a 0-0 like we would've played the whole game like the [first] 30 minutes in the second half, we would've loved to see the end result. But in the moment it is always if, if, if. I cannot hear it anymore but it's still the situation."

Asked if he was the man to turn things around, Klopp replied: "Yes, yes, yes. Absolutely."
