Jurgen Klopp has said that Borussia Dortmund have hit "rock bottom" following their defeat to Hamburg in the Bundesliga this weekend.

The 1-0 defeat yesterday evening has dropped the team to 13th in the German top flight standings, 10 points behind champions Bayern Munich, who top the table.

In his post-match press conference, the manager told reporters: "Say and write what you want and ideally we will gain something from this situation to make sure things are different in future.

"We've now got to accept all the criticism that comes our way, even the unjustified stuff. Criticism should be helpful and should not lead to you feeling worse. We think we've identified the problem, but resolving it is something else.

"Today is October 4 and this is rock bottom, and the starting point for the remainder of the season."

Dortmund will face FC Koln in their next match after the international break.
