Liverpool Manager Jürgen Klopp confessed after Everton game

Jürgen Klopp stated that they could not evaluate the mistakes of the opponent in the Merseyside derby and also made a self-criticism.

Liverpool Manager Jürgen Klopp spoke about the bad trend at the press conference held after the 2-0 losing Everton match on Anfield Road. The German manager, while expressing that they criticized them, emphasized that the mistakes made mostly turned into goals in Liverpool castle.

Match evaluation

“We ate the first goal unnecessarily. This game has two parts. You have to defend well and score goals. We didn't defend well enough and made a mistake for the opponent to score. We could not evaluate their mistakes and the positions we produced. That's why we got this result. Anyone who sees that we haven't scored tonight might think, "How could this be?", But it happened, and this is not the first time. We really criticize ourselves. “

Penalty decision

“I think it's really unfair to ask me this. Everyone asks me. This means that everyone thinks it is not a penalty. But that doesn't really matter because the referee thinks it's a penalty. "

“I wanted to talk to the referee after the match, but they were already in. I just wanted to ask him what he saw in the penalty position. If the 'VAR' calls an arbitrator, it means he doubts the decision. But the referee went there and watched the position for a second from three or four meters, and then turned and confirmed the penalty decision. Obviously he saw something that people did not see. Everyone who talks to me says the same thing. How could this be a penalty? "

Henderson's injury

"No one in the medical department was very positive. He's not looking good and we have to wait for a health scan. Losing Henderson is a huge blow but Nat played a super game. Unfortunately we are used to changing things and as long as we have 11 players we will try to prepare for the next game."

Liverpool's overall performance

“Not all matches were the same. We dominated most matches. We lost an away match against Leicester that we really dominated. We either make a mistake or strange things happen at the crucial moments. When we make a mistake, almost 100 percent of the opponents score. If we force them into error, that doesn't mean we'll score immediately. ”

“I don't like to talk about the good parts of the game tonight because we lost the match, we lost the derby. But we have to use it again from tomorrow. We cannot change the situation by playing badly, this is not possible, but we need to improve ourselves at decisive moments, that is obvious. "

Is Liverpool complacent?

"I don't think this situation has anything to do with the last three years. The kids are still aspiring. But to change football matches and their results, you have to be determined in offensive and defensive moments and that's what we lack.

The big picture

With the loss to Everton, Liverpool have now jeopardized the top 4 in the league and are faced with the inability to join the Champions League. The injuries since the beginning of the season have disrupted the balance of the team and these consequences were inevitable. The addition of Henderson to the injury list struck Jürgen Klopp the final blow.

They have opened the door to the last 16 rounds in the Champions League, but remain unrecognizable in the Premier League.
