Once emotions had calmed, Jurgen Klopp went to Liverpool’s training base and responded as he always does - to double down, to go again and keep the energy going. It is badly needed.
Even a figure as effusive as the German, however, knows this situation is going to require more than impetus. If Saturday’s description of Brighton as a “low point” was not enough, perhaps more telling was his muted response to a question over whether a 3-0 defeat represented the end of this Liverpool team. Klopp would previously have responded with fire to such a suggestion.
