The Reds have made an unimpressive start on their return to Europe’s most prestigious competition.
With two draws from two games, Liverpool sit third, level on points with second-placed Spartak Moscow.
The Reds face bottom side Maribor tomorrow (7.45pm), before a tricky trip to Wembley to play Tottenham on Saturday (4pm).
And Klopp claims he is not thinking about the huge tie against Spurs at the weekend - insisting the game against Maribor is the only thing on his mind.
“I don’t know,” Klopp said when asked how far Liverpool can go in the Champions League.

But he knows that his side will have to be wary of the group minnows if they are to kick-start their Champions League campaign.
“We have to be very, very good again - and take the result,” Klopp added.
“We are a group of four and they face each other twice as well.
“It is possible we will win both or win one or lose both.
“We have wasted points and the performances have been good.”
