YOU could almost see the cogs whirring in Jurgen Klopp’s brain as he pondered just how far to go in criticism of his Liverpool team.

In the end, he settled on “horrendous” and “horrible to watch,” but there was also a manager’s awareness that he has just two days to somehow rebuild and reinvent a side that appeared at times to lack any sense of structure against Brighton.

Rangers arrive at Anfield tomorrow night with Liverpool’s Champions League hopes hanging in the balance.

Premier League fixtures with Arsenal and Manchester City frame the two European clashes with Rangers and it is no exaggeration to suggest Liverpool’s season could be defined in the next four matches. So Klopp has a huge task on his hands.
