Liverpool manager says his team must need to learn how to become successful again.
Klopp, 49, saw his side record a 2-1 victory over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday after falling behind to an early Leroy Fer goal, and it is games like this that the German says are pivotal for the club's future success.
'It was such a positive week: Interview here, interview there, 'the manager is brilliant', 'everyone is enjoying themselves', and then at the end of the week, Swansea is waiting with the knife between the teeth, and you have to go and perform again!' said Klopp.
'That's what I mean. We have to get used to it. To be a successful team you need to be a challenger in each game, challenging for three points in every game.
'I'm happy with the performance from the [fans], it was great! We didn't make it too easy for them, but you saw that they took each good moment from us to help us back in the game. That was nice.'
A Roberto Firmino header and James Milner penalty sealed the three points for Liverpool in Saturday's early kick off, leaving the club fourth in the table and on the back of four straight league victories.
Former Borussia Dortmund boss Klopp went on to reveal that in the week before facing Francesco Guidolin's Swansea side his players had looked in great shape in training, but this didn't stop them from making a lackluster start in South Wales.
For Klopp, Liverpool must develop a consistency of performance on the pitch every week if they are to achieve something this year.
'In situations like this, you see one or two sessions in the week and you think 'Oh my God, it was so good!' And it's really difficult to keep that level up,' Klopp added.
'We had one session this week where everybody was 'wow'! We had 22 players on the pitch and every single one was angry, greedy, clear, hot, however you want to say it. And you think 'Oh my God, what was that?!
'The problem is, there is one time in the week where you really need all this stuff. And that's in the game. Of course you prepare in training, so you can rely on it in the game. That's what I say.
'We will learn to push the button in the right moment, to train all during the week to prepare for this game.'
