Gary Neville noticed something different about Jurgen Klopp's reaction after Liverpool's disappointing 3-0 defeat to Wolves on Saturday.

It was an afternoon to forget at Molineux for the struggling Reds, who went behind to a Joel Matip own goal in the seventh minute before goals from Craig Dawson and Ruben Neves sealed all three points for Julen Lopetegui's side.

Before kick-off, Wolves had only scored 12 goals all season – the least of any Premier League club – but they still managed to knock three past Liverpool to climb out of the relegation zone.

After the full-time whistle, manager Jurgen Klopp described their performance as "very frustrating" and said there was "no excuse" for it.

In this week's Gary Neville Podcast with Martin Tyler, the former Manchester United defender shared his thoughts on Liverpool's poor performances of late.

He believes the club are well below the level they should be at, and pointed out Jurgen Klopp's 'apologetic' reaction to the defeat against Wolves.

Neville began: "Really poor, I've only seen the highlights, I watched the five to 10 minutes. Defensively... they were shambolic, individually, collectively, easy to play against, it's not going perfectly well for them up front either.

"Gakpo, Nunez and Salah just haven't hit it off yet as a front three - that might take some time. But the rest of the team is in a bit of a mess, they're conceding really, really poor goals.

"To be fair, for the first time after a game I've probably seen Jurgen Klopp in some way apologising. Almost like where do I start reaction after the game.

"Look there's internationals still in that back four, all of them are and nowhere near good enough, individually and collectively there's no excuse for that."

He added: "Absolutely no excuse for that, there are other teams who've had injuries who've coped better, I don't know why they've gone to pieces. People say this happened in his seventh year at Dortmund, I dismiss all that nonsense.

"They've obviously got the ownership stuff, looking at other clubs thinking 'we need to spend more money, we need a rebuild' and all that but at the moment, I always think if you're getting the best out of the current players that you've got - Liverpool have a damn good squad - they've got some injuries, that's a factor, but the players out there have to be doing a lot better than they are.

"That was not good enough from Liverpool Football Club and what they have achieved in the last few years they're well below the standard, they need to wake themselves up... It's getting to that point with Liverpool where you say to yourself, there's worrying signs and worrying performances and individual performances are well below that level."
