Jurgen Klopp insists he's a good defensive coach, despite Liverpool's recent woes at the back.

Saturday's 3-2 win at Leicester meant that the Reds have conceded 10 goals in their last three Premier League away games - the most they have ever conceded over a three-game period on the road in the division.

The 11 Premier League goals they have shipped in are the joint most for a side outside the bottom four.

But the German insists the Reds will be 'fine' this season.

“Usually, I’m a really good defensive coach but obviously that works not too good so far but we will be fine," he said.

“The main thing for defending is tactical discipline. I don’t know everything about football but I could write a book in the next two hours about which space we have to defend, why, when and where you have to be.

“That’s no problem but you have to do it.

“I am responsible but I can’t take a car and drive them out of the box. That’s how it is. As long as not every player is doing it we will work on it.

“When everyone is doing it I will make sure we are doing it for the rest of our lives.

“I like this team. Maybe nobody else likes it, I really like it and I want to improve it together.

“Sometimes you need a punch in the face and we get already a few. We were not really on the floor but we always got up.”

Liverpool face trips to Spartak Moscow and Newcastle next, before hosting Manchester United after the international break.
