''WE ARE ALL PLAYING FOR OUR FUTURES HERE''...KLOPP WARNS.


Jurgen Klopp warned everyone at Liverpool is playing for their futures, including himself.

In his reaction to Liverpool’s defeat against Leicester on Monday, Klopp was very honest as he bemoaned the Reds dismal performance as they are now in great danger of missing out of next season's Champions League, having started so well this season.

Liverpool have managed just one win in 2017 and Klopp made it clear that they have been nowhere near good enough.

Kop boss Klopp said: “It's getting more serious now. We all play for our futures, myself included.

“We get judged every day, especially on match days. Of course performances have influence on these things.

“I don’t think they aren’t as good as I thought, but I think they need my help more to show it every week.

''I feel maximum responsible because I am. I hope I use the word ‘we’ and not ‘they’ because I’m involved in this.''

“It's not the moment to make assessments like this, especially not in public. But I try to say the truth as often as possible.

''But bad performances don’t help anyone, that’s clear.”

Klopp added: “It was not good enough in the beginning, not good enough in the middle and in the end.

''It was 100 per cent clear what happened with Leicester tonight.''

“It was clear how emotional the game was because if Leicester didn’t show emotion it would be really strange.

''The first goal was like a friendly game. Player down, throwing, header, one pass.

“But we can’t blame anyone else for this performance. It’s our fault.''

''We can’t make any excuses, it’s our responsibility. It doesn’t make it better, because our job is to react.''

What happened tonight has happened too often this season.

“Everyone knows how good we can be. So that makes it even worse to accept a performance like this tonight.

''It's easier in a foreign language to talk about victories than about defeats.''

''There’s not a lot more to say. You can ask all the questions but I’m not sure I can explain it better.''

“We’ve brought on this situation and now everyone can doubt our attitude, and that's really our fault, our mistake.

Nobody else. I cannot change the result now.”
