He knew this was more than a blip, it's now a situation that could soon escalate into a full-blown crisis if results don't swing back in Liverpool's favour in the next couple of weeks.

But apart from his admission of sorrow, perhaps the most striking admission from the German was the one where he admitted his side's need to reinvent themselves in the coming days and weeks if they are to get their season on track before it spirals out of their grasp.
