Liverpool are in a bit of a rut at the moment, with their performance in the draw with Wolves in the FA Cup last weekend the latest example of their struggles.
It was another very poor showing, with the home side looking incredibly vulnerable at Anfield. Wolves probably should have won the game and likely would have done so were it not for a very questionable offside decision.
It is clear that there are some major issues in the current Liverpool team, one that will not necessarily be all that easy to fix. Some clever recruitment will be needed, while many of their current players will also have to return to somewhere near their peak form.
Jurgen Klopp makes blunder during post-match interview
Jurgen Klopp was understandably in a questionable mood after the Wolves game having watched his side play poorly once again. As a result, he was giving fairly snappy answers in his various post-match interviews.
One of those involved former Manchester City defender Nedum Onuoha on ESPN, although when asked about his side's defensive frailties, he opted to take a dig at what was presumed to be the interviewer's lack of experience in top level football.

Onuoha: What would you put that down to?
Klopp: I'm not sure if you played football, but these kind of things happen. In the moment when you have a 3v1 situation, then three people think one of the three will challenge.
Of course, Onuoha played in the Premier League with the likes of Manchester City, Sunderland, and QPR before retiring in 2020 after over a decade-and-a-half as a pro.
Despite this, he decided against pulling Klopp up on his mistake.
Do you know what, if he was in a good mood I probably would have said something back, but he wasn't in a good mood at all.
I thought for my first time interviewing someone so significant in world football, if I bit back it might just turn into some sort of argument.
He probably made the right call there.
Liverpool will face Brighton in the league this weekend, followed by the replay against Wolves on Tuesday evening.
