Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admits his under-performing side will have to go back to basics in order to solve their current problems.
A sixth Premier League defeat of the season at Brighton has left the Reds 10 points adrift of the top four but, with an FA Cup replay at Wolves to face on Tuesday, there is little time to correct the issues.
But Klopp said the thing they had to be was more difficult to beat. “The issues we had in that game were obvious,” he said. “In the end, these are football problems and you solve them with football and to play better football than we did at Brighton should not be too difficult. “We have to be more compact.
The pitch looks too big when we are defending. You have to go back to basics and from there you can make steps. “We have to do some things slightly different and some things the same.
