JURGEN KLOPP wants his players to ignore outside criticism and just focus on their own game - just like Arjen Robben does
The Kop boss has stressed that the only voice his squad should listen to is his and they must continue to express themselves without the burden of scrutiny.
And Klopp has pinpointed Holland great Robben as the perfect example of a player he wants his men to look up to.
He told Goal: "What we need to create is where they understand completely that the only criticism they need to take is mine - not because I’m the only one that knows anything, but because I’m the one they have to pay attention to.

"I’m the one giving them the direction together with our backroom and support team. So it makes no sense to trust what people who are not involved in the process think.

"I will use the example of Arjen Robben. Whatever the world says about him, or thinks about him - he delivers.
"One time, he will miss the easy pass and everyone will moan ‘why did he shoot?’. Next time, he will not pass and shoot from that angle again - goal! - then it’s ‘oh, good idea to shoot from there’.
"He doesn’t care what the opinions from outside are, he knows how his team needs him to use his skills."
