Jurgen Klopp has insisted he is '100 per cent responsible' for Liverpool's 'rubbish' season as they languish down in eighth place in the Premier League.
The Liverpool boss has apologised to supporters of the club as they approach the end of an underwhelming campaign in all competitions.
Klopp's side were two games away from creating history last term and winning all four major trophies, but they missed out on the Premier League and Champions League at the final hurdle.

Liverpool come into Sunday's game with Arsenal 29 points off the pace and 13 points away from the top four in a season that no one could have predicted for Klopp's side.
Klopp spoke to Sky Sports before Liverpool's match with the Gunners at Anfield: “I'm sorry for our people, that they don't have the season they wished for. But in the long term they will forget that. I couldn't care less what we did last year or the years before. I'm 100 per cent responsible for this rubbish and it's really not cool.”
The German has thanked the Reds supporters for the manner in which they have continued to support him as the club embarked on some troubling times.
"I know everybody can express their emotions in an instant and there will be a lot of negative comments about us - I understand that," added Klopp. "But the people in the stadium are incredible.
"You see things happening at other clubs, not only sackings but teams against owners, fans against owners, fans against the team - I've seen it all. But if anyone can get through a situation like this in a classy manner, I really think it's us as a club."
