Really bad. I can't remember a worse game. It was a very organised team against a not very organised team," Klopp said. "Massively frustrated.

We gave the ball away, the spaces were too big and we couldn't push up. That is obviously not good, especially against a super well-drilled side like Brighton.

They got more confident and we did the opposite."Klopp said he had tried to switch Liverpool's tactics in a bid to halt their poor run but conceded the players did not handle the changes well."I had an idea to change the formation which was to try help the team.
