– Completely undone – VG

– These are difficult times. We try everything. It wasn’t like we didn’t try, says Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp in an interview shown on TV 2.

Mohamed Salah put Liverpool ahead midway through the second half, but James Maddison, Jamie Vardy and Harvey Barnes took advantage of Liverpool’s lousy defensive play from the 80th to 85th minute.

The loss is Liverpool’s fifth in the last 10 Premier League games, a series that includes just two wins. Against Leicester, it was the worst possible debut for Ozan Kabak. The 20-year-old Turkish midfielder crashed in an awkward clash with Alisson Becker in 2-1 at Leicester, before falling behind when Barnes increased the lead in the blue jerseys soon after.

– It is completely undone for this band from Liverpool, commented Øyvind Alsaker from TV 2

– Solid bug

Expert colleague Nils Johan Semb also shakes his head.

– It’s a serious mistake. They rotate it completely for them, Kabak and Alisson, Semb said after the 2-1 to Vardy.

– Kabak shows that he doesn’t have much speed. The whole Liverpool team is very screwed up. It’s a nightmare start for Kabak, Semb said after Barnes’ 3-1 goal.

A summary compiled by the statistics agency Sofascore for VG shows that Kabak lost the ball five times and earns a rating of only 5.9 out of a possible 10 points. The stopper had the opportunity because Liverpool, as is known, have Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip out due to injuries.

Klopp, for his part, is frustrated that Maddison’s draw on a free throw that went across the field was counting.

– We let in a goal that is really difficult to accept. It was a turning point in the fight. I’ve seen it several times (on repeat). By the time (VAR) stop the situation to see if it’s offside or not, he (Maddison) still hasn’t kicked the ball. It seems like a clear offside to me, says Klopp.

Fighting

The defeat means that Liverpool could lose fourth place in the Champions League during the Premier League round. Both Chelsea and West Ham are just the point behind and can surpass Klopp’s men.

The reigning league champions are already 10 points behind league leaders Manchester City, who now have two less played games.

At the same time, Leicester is beating Manchester United in the table and is in a preliminary second place with a margin of one point, with one match more played than Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s team. Leicester is four points behind Manchester City at the top of the table, but the Light Blues have two extra games to score extra points.

P.S: Although Liverpool are struggling, Premier League top scorer Mohamed Salah continues to score. Against Leicester, the Egyptian achieved the 17th net recognition of the season.
