Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists Wolves did not outplay them at Molineux.

Wolves won 3-0 at Molineux on Saturday.

Klopp said: "How can I not be concerned? I cannot sit here think, 'Oh, no. That's all OK. We did well, but football...' It's not [OK]. I got now asked a question outside if it's because of last season 63 games stuff like this. Yes, definitely, we have to say it. Meanwhile, it's clear that has influenced the first part of the season, but how long do we want to suffer off that?

"So, how long? It's now the second part of the season on my watch it is February. We had a full week to prepare, we have another eight, nine days to prepare the next game. We are fit, we are now there, that might have been a problem earlier in the season, of course, then injuries all are clear. But for today the first 12 minutes is not allowed, I have to say that, but we did it anyway. That's true and that's the outcome.

"So then after that you can see this is not a 3-0 like I would say a 3-0 looks. So, they say, 'OK, Wolves were clearly [the] better side and Liverpool had no chance.' No, Wolves were clearly the better side for 12 minutes and maybe the last 10 minutes when they were 3-0 up and the ball was then their friend again, but in between we were really in the game.

"Especially in the second half [when] we put them massively under pressure against a team full of confidence now because being 2-0 up they had the momentum. That's what we can do as well but then we don't finish the situations off which is not helpful. That's why we lost 3-0."
