Jurgen Klopp admits his Liverpool players are short of confidence - just like Cristiano Ronaldo is at Manchester United and Lionel Messi was at Paris Saint-Germain last season.
The Reds manager has urged the squad to rally round and dig themselves out of their rut after a hugely-underwhelming start to the season. Liverpool are barely in the top half of the Premier League after winning just two of their opening seven games, although they do have a game in hand on some of their rivals.
The Merseysiders dropped more points on Saturday as Leandro Trossard scored a hat-trick for Brighton to earn the visitors a 3-3 draw at Anfield. Liverpool looked devoid of ideas in attack for much of the match and shaky at the back throughout it, just as they have throughout the early stages of the campaign.
