Southgate defends World Cup decision despite United star's from
Football
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was out of excuses as he admitted he could barely “find the words” to explain his team’s dismal campaign after 20 games.
The Reds are winless in their last four Premier League games, and a 3-0 defeat to Wolves at the Molineaux summed up what has been a disastrous season thus far.
As early as in the fifth minute, Hwang Hee-chan's cross deflected off Joel Matip for an own goal, and seven minutes later, some poor defending allowed Craig Dawson to find his debut goal as he fired in from close range.

Speaking after the game, Klopp, who is known to defend his team in the wake of defeat, was in no mood to sugar-coat the situation.
“Obviously it was a horrible start,” He started as quoted on BBC.
“Two goals which cannot happen like that. But it happened and we were 2-0 down because of our own fault.
“We should have defended better. We were passive in that period. I cannot explain it. There is no excuse for it.
“It needs to change. That’s the thing. I stand here again and for the first 15 minutes I have no explanation, I’m sorry.”
