Liverpool continues to fall and tonight (Saturday) they recorded a second league loss in a row after suffering a painful 3:0 from the great Brighton. Jurgen Klopp’s injured team, which had to play tonight even without the injured Darwin Nunes, is only in eighth place, and due to the loss of points, it is now seven points away from the fourth place that leads to next season’s Champions League. As expected, the Mets received a lot of criticism following the loss.
“The Seagulls crushed Klopp on the way to three points,” wrote the “Daily Mail” after the game. In the “Mirror” they wrote: “The Reds are roasted. Liverpool collapsed into the crisis while Klopp struggled against the strong Brighton.” In Sky Sports, they also killed the Meatiards: “March scored twice, the brilliant Brighton beat the lame Liverpool”.
Former Liverpool player and current commentator, Jamie Carragher, weighed in at the end: “Liverpool are as bad defensively as anyone else in the Premier League at the moment. Fortunately they have the best goalkeeper, thanks to whom they are not in a worse place.” James Pearce, Liverpool’s senior reporter at the Athletic, wrote: “Liverpool’s miserable season sinks to new depths. They lost in combat, in defence, in midfield and up front they were sorely lacking.”
Klopp He admitted at the end: “It was too easy for Brighton. It was just too easy and you can’t come back in a game like that. We tried to make it easier for the guys with a different formation but it didn’t work at all. It’s my responsibility, I know that. I tried to change the It’s in the second half but it just didn’t work. I’m completely frustrated, there was no sign before the game that we would make such a performance. It won’t be difficult to improve from here.”
Jordan Henderson He was much more firm: “It was probably Liverpool’s worst performance under Klopp. I can’t think of a worse one. It’s a very difficult day. We have to stay together and try to change things quickly. We have to try, learn and show how we react.”
