Jurgen Klopp admits he has a Liverpool problem he 'cannot ignore'

Jurgen Klopp has admitted his Liverpool side are struggling with confidence issues when trying to find reasons behind the Reds' slow start to matches after they drew 3-3 with Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.

Conceding the first goal for the 12th time from their last 17 matches, Liverpool trailed after just four minutes and were 2-0 down inside 17 minutes against the Seagulls thanks to Leandro Trossard’s first-half brace. A Roberto Firmino brace of his own and Adam Webster own goal then turned the game on its head, only for the Belgian to net his hat-trick late on to ensure a share of the spoils.

The result leaves the Reds ninth in the table, 11 points behind leaders Arsenal and seven points behind reigning champions Man City, who they play in their next two Premier League matches, as well as four points off fourth-placed Brighton.
