'I cannot hear it anymore' - Jurgen Klopp makes confidence statement after Liverpool humiliated by Wolves
Jurgen Klopp is adamant he has not lost confidence in his Liverpool players or his own abilities despite their campaign crashing to another appalling low.
The Reds were thumped 3-0 at relegation-threatened Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday to extend their winless 2023 in the Premier League.
A Joel Matip own goal and Craig Dawson strike inside the opening 12 minutes was followed by a Ruben Neves effort late on as Liverpool slumped to a seventh top-flight loss and 10th place in the table.
But while critical of his underperforming players, Klopp remains convinced they can still turn their season around.
“I don’t think they are at their best at the moment,” said the Reds boss. “Do I like that? No. But I still know how good they are, and how they can be. But life is not like this.
“It’s not every day because of him, him, him. These things happen because we don’t help ourselves. Seven or eight players had no part in the first goal, seven or eight had no part in the second goal, but everybody is influenced by it. These other situations we have to go through."

Jamie Carragher gives damning one-word verdict on two Liverpool players after Wolves defeat
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher heavily criticised Liverpool's centre-backs for their performances against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, labelling the pair 'shambolic'.
With Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate both absent through injury, it was left to Joel Matip and Joe Gomez to hold the Reds' back line together. But after Matip put through his own net for the hosts' first goal, a poor header from Gomez contributed to the scoring of a second as Jurgen Klopp's side found themselves 2-0 down inside 12 minutes.
The Reds fared better after the break but went three behind with 19 minutes to play when a heavy touch from Gomez led to Stefan Bajcetic being dispossessed, allowing Wolves to eventually score on the break.
