Jurgen Klopp says he has no questions about confiding in his Liverpool players after their FA Cup defeat to Manchester United.
Yet, the Reds boss demands his side’s past triumphs won’t be considered as he plots a way out of a run of form that has seen them blow dangerously off course of late.
The 3-2 loss at Old Trafford means the Premier League champions have won only one in the last seven, which was a 4-1 triumph against an Aston Villa academy side in the third round of the Cup.
Liverpool’s performance was to a great extent an enhancement for a significant part of the most recent couple of weeks however Mohamed Salah’s double was not enough as Mason Greenwood, Marucs Rashford and Bruno Fernandes goals crushed the Reds to defeat in Manchester.
Klopp says he has not scrutinized his players once during the blip yet said what they have done before won’t acquit them from some critical choices going ahead.
Klopp said: “There is no doubt about my trust.
“But it is not that I say ‘we have done everything right in the past two years so now I don’t care.’ It is not like this.
“We are in the situation now 100 per cent, but you do not need to worry about us.
“As a group we are really together. If I have a problem, he has a problem, we have a problem, we are just all together. We have to sort it together.
“So nobody thinks about what happened in the last few years, nobody. We are just in this moment, trying to win football games again.
“I don’t want to make everything about [negative] now, United played well and there is confidence [at Liverpool] but when you don’t score for a while, it is obviously [an issue], even the best strikers in the world will tell you that.
“We all have moments where we don’t score with each chance but it is all about how you deal with it.”
Liverpool return to action when they visit Tottenham in the Premier League on Thursday evening.
