The Liverpool boss made his feelings clear after Liverpool continued their winless run in 2023 with a toothless showing against Brighton in the Premier League.
Liverpool recorded an embarrassing 3-0 defeat against Brighton on Saturday thanks to two goals from Solly March and a late strike from Danny Welbeck.
The Reds looked a shadow of their former selves as they struggled to really threaten in attack with their talisman Mohamed Salah unusually quiet against such opposition.
Liverpool’s January signing Cody Gakpo also struggled to impose himself on the game as he suffered a defeat on his Premier League debut.
The result meant Liverpool have yet to pick up a win in the New Year beginning with a disappointing 3-1 loss against Brentford before being held by Wolves last weekend in the FA Cup prior to Saturday’s encounter.

Jurgen Klopp apologizes to Liverpool fans following blunt admission
)
The Liverpool coach admitted post-match that he 'couldn't remember a worse game' and his dismay at his own team's performance was highlighted when he went over to thank Liverpool's fans after full-time.
"Bad. Really bad,"
"I can't remember a worse game. It's not difficult maybe. Brighton were the better team, it was well deserved. They played really well. It was a very organised team against a not very organised team. Klopp was quoted to have said to BBC Sport.
"We gave the ball away, the spaces were too big and we couldn't push up. That is obviously not good, especially against a super well-drilled side like Brighton.
"They got more confident and we did the opposite. I can imagine they are very happy because it was a great performance and we made it too easy in too many moments." he added.

Putting his hands together in a prayer stance before placing his right hand on his heart, the 55-year-old German apologised in front of an angry away section, showing sympathy to his supporters' frustration.
Klopp reveals failed plan to change tactics in Brighton defeat

The Reds boss further revealed that he attempted to alter the course of the game with a change of formation, but it didn't work out.
"I had an idea to change the formation which was to try help the team. That was the idea," Klopp stated.
"But we never did it properly. We were always a bit in between and that's the worst thing you can do.
"We could have done better but we didn't and that's why I looked the way it did.
“We need to be creative with the options we have. What I saw today from my team was that they were not really convinced by it. That's it." he submitted.
What next for Liverpool?
)
The Reds will look to bounce back from their underwhelming state to the New Year when they travel to Molineaux to face Wolves in their second-leg FA Cup clash on Tuesday, as they seek to retain their title this season before playing hosts to the team they beat to win the same trophy last season.
Liverpool are currently ninth on the Premier League summit having picked up 28 points from 18 matches this season.
Jurgen Klopp will look to at least secure Champions League qualification for the Reds this season, although it will certainly be no easy task with twenty more games to go until the end of the season.
