Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has hit back at suggestion their inconsistent start to the season is related to Sadio Mane's departure.
The 30-year-old left Anfield in the summer after six years with the club to join Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. Liverpool have struggled to put together a good run of games so far this term and began their Champions League campaign last week with a 4-1 defeat away at Napoli.
They currently sit seventh in the Premier League table with nine points out of a possible 18 so far. Liverpool did, however, take a huge step in getting back on track on Tuesday night with a crucial 2-1 win over Ajax at Anfield.
