Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp insists he has no problem with fans questioning him.
The Reds are currently seven points behind fourth place Manchester United.
Klopp told BILD: “This is a human reflex and completely normal.
“That doesn’t bother me at all. When times are good, we’re always inflated. In bad times there is a lot to be said for. I can handle that with ease. No problem!
“The approach with seven years in Mainz and Dortmund and now seven years in Liverpool is obvious. But if I had noticed that things were going in the wrong direction here even after seven years because of me, I would have been the first to leave.
“I was aware that it is currently a transitional period. That’s why the club and I agree that I’ll stay behind the wheel and that we’ll look at the whole thing in the medium to long term.”
