Only once before in their 125-year history (1923) have Liverpool lost four successive home matches, but the prospect has become very real with Premier League leaders Chelsea next up on Tuesday. The Reds are in fourth place, 10 points behind.
“I could look for excuses but I don’t want to actually. We were fantastic in the Stoke game when nobody gave us a chance”, the Scot told Wolves Player.
“I can not explain every single thing today but I don’t look for excuses”. “I have to change it”.
With the belief coming back, Origi almost made it two in two minutes when he found space in the Wolves six-yard box again, but his shot, this time, was brilliantly kept out by Burgoyne, and that proved to be the last meaningful chance for the home team.
“When you come here and you score early it naturally draws you back, but we worked hard to hurt them on the counter attack”.

But Reds boss Klopp felt his team were unfairly denied two penalties in the final seven minutes of the tie as they chased the goals to turn around their 1-0 first-leg deficit.
“We spoke about confidence a few months ago and I said it’s a little flower”. They have had some close moments such as last season’s Europe League, but they haven’t won anything.
It’s easy to make a knee-jerk reaction.
“That’s obviously true because nobody in football is that blind that they can not see what his qualities are”.
Sakho, who himself has been frozen out of first team picture by Klopp, has been heavily linked with leaving the Merseyside giants in the ongoing transfer window.
After being knocked out of two cup competitions in the space of four days, Jurgen Klopp has admitted he’s down in the dumps. A third-straight defeat saw the German’s win percentage while at the helm of Liverpool drop to 47.7%.
