Goodbye favourites, Klopp's changes ahead of Wolverhampton clash

"Bad. Very bad. I can't remember a worse game; it was a very organised team against a very unorganised team. That was the harsh verdict of Jürgen Klopp after Liverpool's heavy 3-0 defeat to Brighton last Saturday. But his reference also had to do with his team's sluggish form: six Premier League defeats in 18 games. They have conceded eight goals in the last three games. They have not won in 2023. They are in ninth place, have 28 points and are, for now, failing to qualify for any European cup next season...

But the German DT spoke again at a press conference on Monday, albeit a little more calmly. He spoke about what he needs to do with his team to revive them and acknowledged that their "potential" has been lower than expected on a number of occasions.

"It's clear that we don't hide. Too many times this season we have not played to our potential. We can't go back in time, but we have to start again," the manager said at a press conference ahead of Tuesday's FA Cup third round rematch with Wolverhampton. The first leg of the tie was a 2-2 draw at Anfield on 7 January. Therefore, this Tuesday, it will be at Molineux Stadium. Whoever wins the tie will go through and it would be a blow for the Reds if they do not progress.

<strong>Klopp to make changes</strong>

In the continuation of his press conference, he explained: "These are football problems, they are solved with football. Playing better than we did against Brighton shouldn't be that difficult. That's the first step. Faced with this now somewhat desperate situation, the German coach did not rule out turning to the winter transfer window to bolster a squad now depleted by injuries. "We are looking around us. We are not foolish. If the solutions were there, were feasible and available, of course we would buy players," he said.
