LIVERPOOL manager Jurgen Klopp has joked he hopes his team lose rhythm after an unconvincing start to the season.
The Reds were shocked six days ago away at Napoli in the Champions League losing 4-1.
They were supposed to play Wolves at the weekend but the match was postponed due to the death of the Queen.
It has given Liverpool time to reflect on their poor form and Klopp was asked in a press conference ahead of his side playing Ajax in the Champions League if his team would’ve lost rhythm not playing.
Klopp replied: “Did you see our game? If we could lose this kind of rhythm it would be really cool.”
The German also admitted it was his worst game in charge of Liverpool since taking charge of the club seven seasons ago.

He continued: “It was a real horror show. It was the worst game we played since I have been here.
“Some will point at games against Aston Villa [loss 7-2] for example but in those games there were glimpses of us, but in this one there was nothing. We have to understand why.
“We met with the players, I watched the Napoli game a lot and we saw horrors. The players knew as well. Eight out of the eleven were below the level that they normally play.
“You solve all individual problems as a team and that’s the first thing we have to do, to follow a common idea again.

“My teams are based on a real foundation if not nearly perfect defending.
“We could have conceded more in this game, we could have scored a couple more, but the fact we could have let more in is really crazy.
“We had four or five days now of absolute truth.
“Not to knock the players down, just to make sure where we are now, this is the starting point for us to sort the problems together on the pitch. There was no pointing at each other.”
Liverpool’s underwhelming start was not just restricted to the Champions League with the club seventh in the Premier League table having failed to win four matches so far in the domestic season.
They will be hoping to get back to winning ways as they welcome Ajax to Anfield tomorrow.
Liverpool are then set to play Chelsea at the weekend but the game may not go ahead.
