Liverpool defender Joel Matip says that head coach Jurgen Klopp did not hold back in his criticism of the team following the 4-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.

Liverpool defender Joel Matip has revealed that Jurgen Klopp did not hold back in his criticism of the team following the 4-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur on October 22.

Liverpool's defence was again under the microscope after the heavy defeat at Spurs, but the Reds did manage to bounce back with a 3-0 win over Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon.

Matip has claimed that a rocket from head coach Klopp ensured that the team would improve following the difficult loss at Wembley.

"Against Tottenham me and the rest of the team made mistakes and we got criticised. This is what it means to be at a big club, to be a professional footballer. A lot of people are looking, they are waiting, and if we don't perform we expect them to do this," Matip told reporters.

"Of course it is tough. Are the criticisms always deserved? I don't know, maybe. We know we had a lot of problems. I made a lot of problems, I was at fault, I made a number of mistakes, and of course I am not happy.

"We know we did it wrong and [Klopp] didn't hold back, he said it directly. You have to speak about these things directly, honestly, and that is what he did. He said it was not good enough - he spoke very honestly about the things that have to change, very directly, but after this he said we carry on and try to prepare for the next game."

Liverpool will now switch their attention to the Champions League as they prepare to host Maribor on Wednesday night.
