Some days, you have a bad day and you have no breaks. Today literally almost everything was against Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool team against Aston Villa. The team came out flat, while Aston Villa came out with a fervor that we often see in our beloved Reds. There were a lot of mistakes that led directly to chances and goals. There were three goals that came from shooting deflections outside the area. There was a stone cold pity that didn’t get a second glance. It was one of those days when all he could do was shrug his shoulders in disbelief.
Unfortunately for Herr Klopp, he had an obligation to do more than just shrug his shoulders. He still had to fulfill his post-match media duties.
“First of all, congratulations to Aston Villa and all the credit to Aston Villa because they deserve these three points enormously, because they played a really good game,” Klopp said of the day’s winners.
“The strange result is yes, because Aston Villa played very well, but on the other hand because we did it in different areas particularly badly.”
The German coach hated to take the blame on any player. Instead, there was a lot of guilt to spread.
“Tonight, almost everyone made huge mistakes around goals. The first was obviously Adrian; That was a big mistake, yes, but the reaction on the goal was an even bigger mistake, how we reacted. We have to take risks when we play offensively, that is absolutely clear, that is completely normal and that is football. But you have to protect your risks, that is also normal, these situations. And we didn’t do that tonight. That means we had very good opportunities, we played very good football, we entered the area, at times we were indefensible in the area, which is quite rare. But every ball we lost, wherever it was, was a massive counterattack and directly a real problem. “
That became the biggest difference of the day. Liverpool had a lot of play in and around the Aston Villa area, but were disappointed by a bad touch or pass. Outside of Mohamed Salah’s two stellar finishes, nothing really fell for Liverpool. Aston Villa, on the other hand, turned Liverpool’s missed opportunities into opportunities of their own. Villa was decisive when given opportunities on the net, and was helped by some fortuitous circumstances.
“Second goal, [fourth] The goal was a free kick, very well done. Now they were faster on the mind than us, all these things. In the challenges they were more consistent, they all caused us problems. Being 4-1 down, but I think probably even you, when you watched the game, felt when we scored the only goal, it was like, OK, there’s still something to go for. That’s what we also think at half time, if we can stop doing the below-average things or the bad things and we can improve on the good things, score one, score two, and keep playing. But this was not possible tonight because we made similar mistakes again and then the deflected goals came in. That, of course, is bad luck, but it is also bad luck, a deflected ball can be completely unlucky; Tonight I thought it was a 50 percent block, like we didn’t block it properly, that’s why the ball was deflected. We have conceded these goals, strange scoreboard, but we have to accept it. The only good news is that no one was injured after the game. “
That no one gets hurt is a small blessing. Now we can only hope that the Liverpool players who are going to play international return safely.
