Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has called for unity amongst the supporters ahead of Saturday's clash with Chelsea.
Writing in his match programme notes, Klopp stated defeat at Brighton last week wasn't good enough.
He said: "Brighton away was a big test in many ways and I was very clear afterwards that the performance was not of the standard we look for and have reached many times in recent seasons.
"But the big positive was the supporters who stuck with us. This is so, so important.
"This togetherness gives us the best possible chance of building something and I do not think it is a coincidence that we followed a really bad moment at Brighton with a really good one at Wolves.
"Everything we have learned and experienced, over the past however-many years, tells us that sticking together is important and what makes this club special is we are able to stay together even when it might not be easy to do so.
"I have been told by people who know Liverpool much better than I do that this kind of solidarity is a trait of the city and the people of the city. Whatever it is, I hope it does not ever change because it is one of the very best things about this club."
On Chelsea and manager Graham Potter, Klopp also said: ''When Graham was in charge of Brighton, I spoke many times of my admiration for him and the work he has done as a manager. This is as true today as it was then.
"His work speaks for itself and should be judged over years and not weeks. I will certainly not make the mistake that others on the outside are making by thinking the way it has been for Chelsea recently will not change any time soon."
