Liverpool did not score a goal for the first time in the league this campaign and Jurgen Klopp is worried after Leicester defeat.
Jurgen Klopp says that Liverpool did not play up to their standards in the 1-0 defeat to Leicester City on Tuesday night.
In fact, the Reds ended a long goalscoring run which saw a first-half penalty miss from Mohamed Salah. Moreover, they could not create sufficient chances during the first 45 minutes of play.
Later in the 59th minute, Liverpool conceded as Ademola Lookman scored the opening goal for the Foxes. And Klopp’s side were unable to get back in the game despite having the full squad on the field.
The loss has left the Merseyside club six points behind league leaders Manchester City. This was indeed a heavy step back for Liverpool in the title race.
Klopp told Amazon Prime: “We played a really bad game, so it was well deserved [to lose]. Our decision-making [was poor], maybe a little bit of luck [was missing]. That’s how it is. We should have had more of those moments. We had enough to get the win, but if you lose you need more of them.”
“I think we started OK, then we completely lost our rhythm and didn’t get it back. From then we forced it, so there’s nothing else to say. The circumstances too – Leicester played two days ago, they deserve it, absolutely.”
“You could see it coming a little bit. They had one shot on target. They didn’t have plenty of chances. We should have defended better. We do that usually, why we didn’t do it today is hard to explain. There were so many performances before normal level, there’s no explanation.”
“It’s a big gap [to City]. In this moment it is not my problem. If we play our normal football, Liverpool football, we have the chance to win more football games.”
