Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has come out to slam his team’s performance as they went down against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Sunday. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the performance from his boys was really rubbish, and the Eze goal was a horrible goal to concede in such a crucial game.
Klopp added that the second half was much better with better chances, but his boys could not take any of them.
His words, “This one feels really, really rubbish. I need time to process that. I am standing here and to talk about this game is really tricky. Two different games I would say, with the first half and second half. The first half was absolutely not good enough so we showed a reaction. The reaction was we lost conviction from the last game. We tried to get rid of this but that worked out as much as we wanted. To concede that goal was a horrible goal to concede with a completely free player in the area. That cannot happen but it happens.
“Andy Robertson gets the other ball so it’s like scoring a goal if you don’t concede from that. Crystal Palace didn’t have many more and we controlled it better and then second half we can easily say if we don’t score with these chances what can you say? The game in the second half was much better, Trent coming on and at that moment the structure changed. We caused problems and we had big big chances. If we stand here and win the game 4-1 we could have seen the same game with a completely different result. But we didn’t so we have to take that.”
WOW.
Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club based in Liverpool, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Founded in 1892, the club joined the Football League the following year and has played its home games at Anfield since its formation.
Domestically, the club has won 19 league titles, eight FA Cups, a record nine League Cups and 16 FA Community Shields. In international competitions, the club has won six European Cups, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups—all English records—and one FIFA Club World Cup.
The club established itself as a major force in domestic and European football in the 1970s and 1980s, when Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley, Joe Fagan and Kenny Dalglish, led the club to a combined 11 League titles and four European Cups. Liverpool won two further European Cups in 2005 and 2019 under the management of Rafael Benítez and Jürgen Klopp, respectively; the latter led Liverpool to a 19th league title in 2020, the club’s first during the Premier League era.
Anfield was built in 1884 on land adjacent to Stanley Park. Situated 2 miles (3 km) from Liverpool city centre, it was originally used by Everton before the club moved to Goodison Park after a dispute over rent with Anfield owner John Houlding. Left with an empty ground, Houlding founded Liverpool in 1892 and the club has played at Anfield ever since. The capacity of the stadium at the time was 20,000, although only 100 spectators attended Liverpool’s first match at Anfield.
