Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp admitted his performance did not live up to expectations in Sunday’s defeat to Arsenal. The Reds return to action against Burnley this weekend.Klopp: “After coming to England, I’m still not 100% sure that I understand every word 100% correctly. failure? I lost the match and that was it. Absolute. People told me later that I only lost to Tottenham and before that it was City.
I didn’t feel a second. If we wanted to, we felt like we were 1-5, not because of the top spot.“The reason is that we lost the game and we didn’t play very well. It just shows how it works. Probably the best game of the season, just a few days before we play a large part of the game. It was a very good game, a perfect performance against Chelsea. It was a top performance.
“Everyone has seen recently how much better Chelsea can be if they leave Arsenal. They played well and we played our part, but not too much.” Obviously, this is always a challenge for managers. What are you doing? ignore? Or put your finger on [the problem]. It’s always there somewhere. We don’t take these things lightly and think, ‘Oh, this could happen, we could lose at Arsenal.'”We want to do better than we’ve done so far and we’re trying to do that. That’s what we want and that’s what we have to respond to. That’s really the only good thing about it. You can answer and we will certainly answer.
We worked 100% a lot, especially with the ball, but it wasn’t even up to our standards. But it is not an exaggeration to say that we did not score any goals. It is 100% correct. But it’s all because of our defense.”So that was the main issue we discussed. This is where we need to get better. “That will make us better, and that’s the first step.”
