JURGEN KLOPP says he is suffering one of his worst spells as a manager and that Liverpool are in an ‘extreme’ situation.
Fulham’s Mario Lemina hit the only goal to send the Prem champions to a SIXTH straight home defeat, with Jamie Carragher slamming his old team as ‘mentality midgets’.

Reds chief Klopp — asked if it is one of his lowest times as a boss — replied: “I’d wish to say no but, yes it is.
“So that is not a problem. I don’t always have to have the best times.
“This team is obviously an extreme team. We were extremely successful and now we have an extreme situation as well but we will fight through.”
Klopp accepts his title heroes have lost their superpowers and will struggle to make the top four.
The German, who dubbed his side ‘mentality monsters’ last season, said: “Not good enough. Conceded a goal, didn’t score, lost the game.
“We have mentality, it’s just not the mentality we are used to.”
Klopp is now preparing for the Champions League second-leg clash with RB Leipzig at Anfield on Wednesday — having won the first leg 2-0 and hoping it can spark a revival.

He said: “We can change it because we have to.
“We have never had momentum in the season. They still have it all but at the moment can’t show it.
