<div style="text-align: justify; "><b style="font-size: 1rem;">As Wolverhampton Wanderers closed out the final few minutes of Saturday's hugely impressive dismantling of Liverpool, their fans responded to a lengthy spell of passing with chants of "ole".</b><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In recent seasons, that is something Reds fans were often able to inflict on their opponents - but those days feel like a long time ago as a season of disappointment continues.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If a 3-0 loss at Brighton last month felt like a significant low, then this 3-0 defeat at Molineux was arguably worse. After all, the Seagulls are chasing a top-seven finish while Wolves started Saturday in the relegation zone.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This latest defeat also marked the first time since 2012 that Liverpool have lost three successive away games in the Premier League. Since the turn of the year, they have conceded nine goals in four games and scored just one - hardly ideal form with the Merseyside derby up next.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"We have to change it immediately in the next game," accepted boss Jurgen Klopp.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Everton won today and they are in a good moment so we have to prove a point again."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The defeat leaves Liverpool in 10th, 11 points behind fourth-placed Newcastle United.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">For Klopp, the damage done against Wolves was self-inflicted with a dreadful opening.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The home side, energetic and confident from the outset, capitalised on Liverpool's lethargic start to take the lead after five minutes. Hwang Hee-chan was allowed to get in behind on the right and his drilled cross deflected off Joel Matip into the back of the net.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While there was an element of bad luck about the opener, awful defending led to the second goal seven minutes later as Liverpool failed to clear inside their own box, allowing Wolves debutant Craig Dawson to drive in.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Those mistakes led to goals, but there were plenty of other examples of error-ridden play by Liverpool in that nightmare start.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"We caused the misery with the first 12 minutes," lamented a frustrated-looking Klopp in the post-match news conference. "It cannot happen."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">He added: "In a game like this it is not allowed. You can criticise and judge us and you are probably right because those 12 minutes are not allowed."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Problems in all areas</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Much has been made of Liverpool's struggles this season stemming from their midfield, an area the Reds have not strengthened in either of the last two transfer windows.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">However, the defence and attack have also been well below par this campaign, despite the latter area having been significantly strengthened.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Injuries, of course, have not helped, but Saturday's dreadful start was reminiscent of Liverpool's performances early in the campaign - when they conceded the opening goal in five of their first seven games.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Reds have now conceded three goals in each of their past three away games in the Premier League - at Brentford, Brighton and now Wolves - with the latest treble meaning they have conceded more goals (28 in 20 games) than they did in the whole of last season (26 in 38 games).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Liverpool did finish last year with four wins in a row, so have the capability to turn things around, but need their attack to start scoring again, having managed just one goal in their past 360 minutes of Premier League football.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Asked if he still believes in his players to rediscover the form that saw them challenge for multiple trophies last season, Klopp said: "I don't lose confidence in the boys but we have to improve and that is what we are working on."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">'Sacked in the morning' - can Klopp turn it around?</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Towards the end of Saturday's game, Wolves fans took great joy in taunting Klopp with chants of "you're getting sacked in the morning".</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">It was tongue in cheek but Klopp is certainly facing the most difficult challenge of his eight years at Anfield.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"For fans to be calling for Klopp's head is just funny," former Everton and Scotland forward James McFadden said on BBC Radio 5 Live.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Look at the job he has done at that club. The season hasn't even finished and already they are calling it a disappointment.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"Jurgen Klopp is a brilliant manager, as much as it pains me to say it with my Everton connections, but he obviously has enough in the bank to turn this around."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Liverpool face Everton at Anfield on 13 February, and a victory in that game could provide the boost they need to resurrect their fortunes. Eight days later they host holders Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie, a repeat of last year's final.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Asked if he believes in his own ability to turn things around for the Reds, Klopp responded: "Yes. Absolutely."&nbsp; BBC</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify; ">bnbd24/kh</div>
