Jurgen Klopp: Putting ourselves under pressure obviously is kind of a hobby

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp must be scratching his head, wondering how they have gone from genuine title contenders to a team who can not even get a result against one of the Premier League’s bottom three.

It is now just one win in ten games in all competitions for Klopp’s side — and that was against League Two outfit Plymouth after a replay in the FA Cup — a run which has left them 13 points adrift of leaders Chelsea and out of contention for top spot.

The Reds seemed to be the real deal for the first few months of the season, possibly even Chelsea’s main rivals as they won matches with free-flowing football the norm as Hull City discovered themselves in September when they lost 5-1 at Anfield.
