Jurgen Klopp has dismissed assertions that his key messages are not being listened to by Liverpool's players.
The Reds slipped to their sixth Premier League defeat of the season on Saturday at Brighton as the hosts ran out 3-0 winners at the Amex. It marked the first time since 1993 that Liverpool had lost their first two league games of a new year ahead of a visit from Chelsea on Saturday lunchtime.
Before that, however, is a third-round replay in the FA Cup at Wolves on Tuesday night and while Klopp can see why tough questions are being asked after Saturday's performance, he still feels his ideas are getting across to the squad.
