Only the best goal difference leaves that Liverpool FC dwell at the top of the Premier League. Coach Jürgen Klopp’s team cashed FC Southampton a 0: 1 loss (0: 1) and slides into a crisis of form. While coach Ralph Hasenhüttl’s team is in top shape, the “Reds“Way behind his chances. Danny Ings scored the goal of the day.
It has been no secret for a long time that Jürgen Klopp does not hide his feelings in public. That’s also one of the reasons the 53-year-old is so well received by fans. The pose that the coach of the Liverpool FC took two minutes after kick-off, supporters of the “Reds“but they cause stomach upset rather than satisfaction.
Liverpool has lost dominance
Klopp stood motionless on the edge of the field for a long time and could hardly believe his eyes. Ings had Southampton took a 1-0 lead early on with a spectacular climb over goalkeeper Alisson. James Ward-Prowses’ previous free kick was everything CFLDefend yourself in deep sleep and then let the dangerous attacker do so undisturbed.
The preseason dominance has been lost for Klopp’s team, also due to long-lasting injuries to central defenders Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez. And against a rival like Ralph Hasenhüttl’s team, which is extremely compact and aggressive Pressing I need to go to work Liverpool currently the playful facility to regularly spoil such defensive bulwarks. Especially since the “Saints“Play one of the best seasons in history and I have never accumulated more points (26) after 16 days of play.
Almost no chance to score
Especially that CFLThe trio of storms around leading stars Mo Salah, Sadio Mané and Firmino were almost exclusively lost in the first half. Only Salah had a chance to head the ball in injury time of the first round, but he put the ball over the crossbar. “Our decision making was not good. That’s the way it is when you don’t have momentum. We should have had a lot more opportunities.”Klopp said later
as well Southampton he was not idly on the offensive. Nathan Tella He had a chance to score the second goal for the hosts a few minutes earlier, but narrowly missed the edge of the penalty area.
Dwindling forces
A lot of ball possession, little speed and little will to win marked the efforts Liverpools outside. That changed in the second half. The English champions significantly increased the pace and pushed Southampton deep into your own half. The team also developed more assertiveness, but without reaching the level of the previous season. Hasenhüttl’s team resisted, defended with great concentration and was able to withstand the attackers time and again.
The “Reds“He started with vehemence, but they lacked the precision of both the last pass and the end. Klopp’s team did not develop great chances during the 90 minutes Liverpool – mainly due to the high stress of the last weeks – notably the strength.
So it was the impression that the CFL He could have played for several hours and still wouldn’t have scored a goal. It was the second consecutive game without a goal for Liverpool. “Now we have to show a reaction”Klopp asked.
