Jurgen Klopp takes responsibility for Liverpool's "dry spell"

Jurgen Klopp takes responsibility for Liverpool's "long dry spell", having yet to win any silverware during his time at Anfield.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confessed that he 'feels partly responsible' for the club's long wait for a major honour.

The Reds have lost two finals under the German since last lifting silverware in 2012, when going all the way in the EFL Cup.

Liverpool have a chance to put that right this season, however, having set up a Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City.

Klopp admits that he is hoping to end both his and his side's trophy drought, with the Merseyside outfit last prevailing on the continent in 2005.

"I'm aware that the overall feeling is positive towards me but I have no idea what exactly the fans think of me. I'm not too worried about that, actually," he told UEFA's official website.

"The point here is that I'm trying to do my best so we can be successful, just as everyone else does. I'm not here by chance - coming here was a conscious decision. I was aware of the club's situation and the unique nature of the fans, and everything was very familiar to me.

"Very few things in my life have come trouble-free, but I'm here today despite all that. And Liverpool FC's history is very similar. It's been a tough one, but also a very successful one. Now we're going through a long dry spell and I feel somehow responsible for that."

Liverpool beat Porto 5-0 on aggregate - scoring all five goals in the first leg - to make it into the last eight of the Champions League.
