Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea yesternight is a huge blow for the Reds, Jurgen Klopp has said. He, however, revealed that it was a very tight game, and the individual quality of Mason Mount at that moment made the difference.
According to him, both teams invested a lot to earn the victory, and Liverpool just got punished for failing to take their chances.
He added that with the high possession Liverpool gets during EPL matches, the team must start creating more chances to score goals.
His words, “The individual quality of Mason Mount in that moment made the difference. It was a tight game, intense game. Both teams invested a lot. That is it pretty much,”
“They had the goal they scored which was offside. The second half another counterattack, we had more situations around, the great one with Sadio Mane and other situations where we did not score.”
“You have to defend differently and we didn’t do well there. There are a lot of things out there you have to consider. In the end, we conceded one goal, we made the mistake there, the other was offside and you can say it was good defending but with all the possession we had you need to have more chances. Everything was really good until the final pass.”
“Unfortunately we cannot say it is only at home. It is not about Anfield or whatever, it is in general, too often. In the decisive moments, we have to improve. We have to show our quality in these moment and we don’t do that often enough.”
“It is a massive blow. It is not done yet. We have to win football games.”
