“Some players won’t start again”- Jurgen Klopp reacts to shocking Liverpool defeat to Leeds United
“Some players won’t start again”- Jurgen Klopp reacts to shocking Liverpool defeat to Leeds United
Liverpool fell 2-1 to relegation-threatened Leeds at Anfield on Saturday, enduring another another dismal Premier League display.
Jesse Marsch’s team seized the lead when Rodrigo scored the simplest of goals as a result of a mix-up between Joe Gomez and Alisson.
Mohamed Salah scored an equalizer for the Reds before Crysencio Summerville scored the game-winning goal in stoppage time.
As a result, Liverpool now trails Premier League leader Manchester City by 13 points. Arsenal will widen its 15-point gap with a victory over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Reacting to Saturday’s surprise defeat, Klopp told Sky Sports: “It was a set-back, absolutely. I thought we had a really good start then conceded a freakish goal. We scored the equaliser but for some reason it didn’t give us the security back.
“We struggled to control the game and gave too many balls away. The boys tried, we had good possession and had big chances but, in the end, if it is 1-1 and you defend the situation around the second goal like this, you leave everything open.
“In the end, it was two versus one in the box and they can finish off the situation. The problem is we cannot control this type of game at the moment… Maybe some players are overplayed, Harvey [Elliott] has been exceptional for us this season.
“He had a good start but couldn’t keep it going. Thiago has been ill, up front the same [players] play all the time – they are the three strikers we have left. We have to fight and that is what we must do.”
Liverpool’s loss on Saturday marked the club’s first Premier League loss in front of a home crowd since Crystal Palace defeated them 2-1 at Anfield in April 2017. Those six losses in a row at the start of 2021 actually occurred during the Covid-19 epidemic.
