Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has expressed his frustration following the team’s disappointing 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace at Anfield.
The defeat marked Liverpool’s first home loss in the league in 28 games and added to their recent woes after a draw with Manchester United and a heavy defeat to Atalanta in the Europa League.
Klopp, visibly disappointed, addressed the media after the match, highlighting the team’s inconsistency and its impact on their title aspirations. He remarked, “The title race? the answer is pretty easy. If we play like that in the first half, why would we win the league?”
The Liverpool boss emphasised the importance of consistency, noting that the team’s performance in the second half demonstrated their potential to win games. He stated, “Play like second half and we can win games. Win games, be around until the end and we’ll see where it takes us.”
With Liverpool now sitting in third place, trailing leaders Manchester City by 2 points, Klopp acknowledged the challenge ahead.
However, he remained hopeful that the team could bounce back and remain competitive until the end of the season.
As Liverpool’s title hopes hang in the balance, their upcoming fixtures will be crucial in determining their fate.
