Klopp couldn’t consider what he was seeing as Brighton ran his staff ragged in a style he had by no means skilled since taking cost in 2015.
Jurgen Klopp labelled Liverpool’s dismal 3-0 defeat at Brighton on Saturday because the worst he has seen throughout his Anfield reign.
Klopp’s troubled aspect have been blown away within the second half by Solly March’s double and a late strike from Danny Welbeck.
Liverpool’s wretched efficiency got here scorching on the heels of a 3-1 loss at Brentford and an FA Cup draw in opposition to Wolves during which they have been saved from defeat by a controversial VAR choice.
The Reds are languishing in eighth place within the Premier League with their hopes of a top-four end fading by the week.
Klopp couldn’t consider what he was seeing as Brighton ran his staff ragged in a style he had by no means skilled since taking cost in 2015.
“Bad. Really dangerous. I can’t bear in mind a worse recreation. It was a really organised staff in opposition to a not very organised staff,” Klopp said.
“Massively frustrated. We gave the ball away, the spaces were too big and we couldn’t push up. That is obviously not good, especially against a super well-drilled side like Brighton. They got more confident and we did the opposite.”
Klopp mentioned he had tried to modify Liverpool’s techniques in a bid to halt their poor run, however conceded the gamers didn’t deal with the adjustments properly.
“I had an thought to alter the formation which was to strive assist the staff. That was the concept. But we by no means did it correctly,” he said.
“We need to be creative with the options we have. What I saw today from my team was that they were not really convinced by it. That’s it.”
Last season, Liverpool got here inside two wins of an unprecedented quadruple as they lifted the FA and League Cups, solely to see the Premier League title go to Manchester City after which lose the Champions League closing in opposition to Real Madrid.
Klopp’s present group are a shadow of the staff that just about made historical past and he admitted he’s at a loss to clarify the distinction.
“How are you able to clarify that? The identical gamers performed excellent soccer matches but when issues aren’t correctly organised then it might appear like that,” he said.
“We were always a bit late and things like this. If you don’t win key challenges and lose the ball too easily they are the two worst things that can happen in football. There is no formation that can solve that.
“My responsibility, I know that. To improve that will be not too difficult. From this game we can pick up absolutely nothing apart from things that do not work.”
Liverpool’s title hopes have been lengthy since over, however failing to qualify for the Champions League can be a hammer blow.
Asked how involved he’s by Liverpool’s plight, Klopp added: “Yeah, how will you not be after a recreation like this?
“I can’t stand right here and say it didn’t occur. Of course, we have now to be very involved about it.”
