"They're very educated, Liverpool supporters. It can't be easy for them," said the Liverpool boss after their 1-1 draw at Chelsea.
"Most of us in this room know Liverpool and its great history, but we can't keep looking in the rear view mirror and looking back.
"If you're not going to have a massive investment to make it happen quickly, you have to develop it. That's where we're at.
"The supporters are being very lenient with myself and the team, and I'm sure they'll be frustrated sometimes, but their support has been incredible."
