Jurgen Klopp has stated that he expects better from his Liverpool side following their 4-0 defeat at the hands of Mainz.

Liverpool claimed a stunning 4-0 victory over Spanish champions Barcelona on Saturday but just a day later, the Reds went on to suffer a shock defeat against German side Mainz with the same score line.

Following the humiliating defeat against Mainz, manager Klopp went on to state that he is not overly concerned by the result but admitted that Liverpool should have performed much better during the clash.

The German told Liverpool's official website: "It's always a long way. Yesterday we could not stop smiling but that was not right, and today if we cannot stop being disappointed that's not right either. It's not between these two poles, if you want.

"We are in a good way, 100 per cent. And if we have a proper line-up, which we can have of course for next week, then we will be strong. Until now we did a really good job. But in moments like this today, we need to find other solutions than we found. This work will never stop.

"The line-up was a compromise, changing players and we flew a few players in this morning. That's not optimum and not very good. But we always expect of ourselves that we have to do better and we should have done better."
