Klopp: 'If I had noticed things were going in the wrong direction at Liverpool, I would have been the first to leave'

Anfield Watch

 was asked about how he deals with criticism and people questioning his future at the club. The boss made assurances that he is not worried about his future. 

"This is a human reflex, completely normal. It doesn't bother me at all. When times are good, we're always inflated. In bad times there's a lot to be said. I can handle that with ease. No problem!

 is obvious. But if I had noticed that things were going in the wrong direction here even after seven years because of me, I would have been the first to leave.

"I was aware that it is currently a transitional period. That's why the club and I agree that I'll stay behind the wheel and that we'll look at the whole thing in the medium to long term."

'Should have done more': Klopp unhappy with Tsimikas after Brentford game

 suffered a 3-1 defeat against Brentford on Monday. 

 was one of the worst players on the pitch and was taken off at half-time, with 

 said about the left-back position in the loss.

"On the left side it was different, we needed a left-back really going in behind," he told Sky Sports.

"You could see from the immediate first situation when Robbo goes down the line and crosses the ball and we get a corner. This kind of things we should have done more [in the first-half]."

Robertson: Liverpool 'struggling' despite 'kick up in the backside'

 has analysed what went wrong for the Reds.

“Obviously we didn't do what we were supposed to do. It's as simple as that. You go in at half-time at 2-0 down and you have to fight an uphill battle,” Robbo told the Athletic.

“We didn't have any runners in-behind, we didn't have anyone high and wide, we didn't have anyone in spaces, we couldn't keep the ball, we lost the second balls, balls in-behind they dealt with, set-pieces they dealt with.

“So yeah, when you add all those things up, you're never going to get a result at this place. We knew what Brentford are good at, it's not hard to work out what they're good at, and they're very consistent at it.

“We were prepared as to what we were expecting but obviously just struggled with it. Set-pieces were a huge weapon for them, the first two goals came from that, that's hugely disappointing from our point of view.

“That performance [against Leicester] should have been a kick up the backside where we say ‘right, we’ve won but now we need to put in a better performance’. 

“Three days later we put in another bad performance.”

I just think as Jim Bowen used to say "let's see what you could have won".  I just hate the fact that if FSG would have funded proper investment in world class players after the Spurs CL win in every season, then a manager such as Klopp (clearly a better coach than Guardiola imho) could have won everything in sight.  The Arabs most likely would have got bored with constantly losing and moved on to a different sport.  

What might have been.... 😫

St Jamie of Anfield

yeah we could have won so much more with only a little harder push

Christian.

Been thinking and i do not see Klopp guilty to the bad displays. 
Don't think Klopp tells the players to be lazy and play like idiots because that's what they are doing.
He needs better material to work with

the owners don't pick the team or train them or give them instructions from the sidelines or buy injured players ur hero klopp is responsible for all that not the owners any problems we have now are all to do with players not doing there jobs and klopp not buying 2 midfielders in the last 2 transfer windows instead he bought backs and forwards it amazes me how some of u let klopp of  the hook when he's part of the problem my opinion is his time  at the club us up his tactics have been found out he can't change tactics during a game his high line defending and weak midfield is the cause of all our problems not the owners

Matthew Ryan

imagine this time we're going through without Klopp, we'd be a hell of a lot worse, there's a lot going off at the minute and we need to find the answers but alot of these problems come from the owners way of working not the manager, sometimes I wonder if klopp just tows the line because of his love for Liverpool.

Dale Hartley

we have the best manager and fans in the world but we  have a thrifty owner.

Klopp please don't walk out on your success at Liverpool. you are the best manager ever. YNWA
