Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has backed his players to respond to adversity by getting their season back on track.
A 2-0 aggregate defeat by Southampton in the last four of the EFL Cup saw hopes of a third final in the German's 15-month reign slip through their fingers.
For the third time in under three months, Saints kept a clean sheet against what used to be a free-scoring side who are now experiencing their worst start to a calendar year since 1993.
Klopp, in his programme notes, wrote: 'It is in moments such as these, with the focus being on us to see how we react to setbacks, where I believe these players will show their very best qualities.
