Liverpool 'obviously have problems' - Klopp
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists their problems are being exaggerated as he plans to revive a frustrating week.
After a draw with Burnley last weekend Liverpool lost in the Carabao Cup to Leicester - who they face again in the Premier League this weekend.
Liverpool have condemned first in their last four games and struggled to convert their chances.
But Klopp said: "It sounds like we have no points and are completely the worst team in the league."
Their defensive concerns have increased with the injured Dejan Loren unable to train this week and Joel Matip also mystruggling.
But Klopp believes the situation is not as bad as is being portrayed.
He said: "Yes we have problems, that is why we 'only' have eight points and not 15. We can make it more serious than it is or we can take it like it is.
"I understand 100 per cent (why) we sit here and talk about the things that have happened.

"I know already about all these problems - or 'not problems' - and I've made my decision already how to work with it but if I talk a lot about it I only create headlines - 'Klopp says this. Klopp says that' and it doesn't help us.
"We have work to do but that would be the same if we had 15 points, only it would feel different but it would be the same.
"We conceded the first goal against Sevilla and responded really well, we conceded the first goal against Burnley and responded really well.
"This is the long part of a three-game week from Tuesday to Saturday so we have one more session. We can use it but we have to prove it on Saturday."
