Liverpool raced into a 3-0 lead in midweek away to Sevilla in the Champions League.
However, their defensive problems continued to haunt them as they squandered their advantage and drew 3-3.
The Reds have now conceded 28 goals in 20 matches in all competitions this term.
They host a resurgent Chelsea at Anfield on Saturday (5.30pm), and can ill afford any lapses of concentration.
And former Manchester City and Newcastle goalkeeper Given reckons Klopp is bored of addressing the same issue time and time again.
