“We need to reinvent ourselves.” A big statement, right there, as Liverpool’s season threatens to spiral out of control. It could be an interesting few weeks at Anfield. Anyway, thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night!

Klopp speaks to BT. “It was really tough to take. Not that difficult to explain when you saw the game. First and foremost, Napoli played a really good game, and we didn’t. That is the first explanation for the defeat. The two penalties we concede were a bit unlucky but only one goes in. Then the next two goals we serve on a plate, pretty much. That is not cool. We had chances but were never really in the game. We were not compact, neither defensively nor offensively. Until Thiago entered the pitch, I cannot remember one counter-pressing situation. We were not connected. Everything was obvious. Why it happened is now the question. I cannot answer it now, but give me a little time to think about it. It’s really tough to take but obviously I have to take it. It looks like we have to re-invent ourselves. There are a lot of things lacking. In three days we play Wolves, and if they saw the game tonight, they cannot stop laughing. They would say: it’s the perfect moment. I would say it’s the perfect moment! But we have to try to find a set-up to be much better in pretty much everything. We were not working as a team. It is nothing to do with personal stuff, or pointing at each other. In football, the solution to problems is always football. But we don’t play good enough, it’s clear. That’s obvious. It’s tough, but we still have a job to do. It is my responsibility, and that’s my job to find it out. We have to reset and go.”
