Jurgen Klopp has highlighted how stellar talents such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are not immune from the lack of confidence affecting Liverpool.
The Reds’ underwhelming start to the season continued at the weekend with a 3-3 Premier League draw at home to Brighton and Hove Albion, in which they fought back from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 only to concede an equaliser to Seagulls’ hat-trick hero Leandro Trossard.
Klopp believes Liverpool ’s inability to hold on to their advantage was a sign of the brittle self-belief caused by having gained only four wins in 10 competitive games this term.
