| Liverpool vs Atalanta lost 0-2 at home |
It was Atalanta’s sweet debt collection. Defeated 5-0 in Bergamo 3 weeks ago, the Italian representative went to Merseyside and also brought up 3 points when he brought down Liverpool 2-0. The impact of Atalanta made the situation in Group D more unpredictable.
The victory at Anfield will help Liverpool reach the knockout phase before 2 games. But instead, Jurgen Klopp’s teachers and students were empty-handed and with Ajax beating Midtjylland in Amsterdam, they were forced to score points when they welcomed their Dutch opponent next week to continue.
A defeat will make Liverpool wait for the final match, just like the last three seasons to know their fate. In the worst situation, Klopp will have to wince as the team that has been ruined by injury must put forth effort in every game in December.

| Klopp’s team made it difficult for him |
Liverpool will have to play 10 games between November 28 and January 2 and none of them are easy. Before Atalanta, Klopp tried to make some changes to keep the pillars strong.
Only 5 main players in the 3-0 win over Leicester City held their positions Wednesday night, in return Williams’s partner was Neco and Rhys and Kostas Tsimikas and Divock Origi alongside Mohamed Salah returned after staying outside. It is derived positive for Covid-19.
However, Liverpool’s performance was sporadic and the 0-2 defeat accurately reflected what happened. They created fewer chances, lost more ball and lost quickly by 2 goals from Josip Ilicic and Robin Gosens in just 4 minutes from 60-64.

Option B was disappointing
Outside the border, Klopp clearly dissatisfied. Tsimikas, who had just played the second game in the Liverpool jersey, then Origi did not prove himself qualified enough to start the club.
It took Liverpool 43 minutes to make the first shot from Salah’s long shot. The home team that struggled to find a match against Atalanta seemed to have learned a lot from the first defeat.
Liverpool tried to turn things around when Andy Robertson, Fabinho, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino rushed in from the 61st minute with a 1-0 deficit. However, nothing special was created in which The Kop lost 1 more goal.

| Options B like Williams did not meet the requirement |
Ilicic and Papu Gómez are the main threats from Atalanta’s side. It was the kicker, the passer that created the opening goal in the 60th minute. 4 minutes later, Gomez fired up Hans Hateboer to defeat Robertson in a dogfight before Gosens struck.
There was no reaction from Liverpool after the goal. They finished the game without hitting the target. After all, Liverpool are likely to still win 1 point from two games against Ajax and Midtjylland, but disappointment is hard to avoid for Klopp.

In a match where the German coach turned around, the contingencies could not fulfill the task. This is the toughest loss at home for Klopp as Liverpool manager.
The last time The Kop lost more than 1 goal at Anfield was to Brendan Rodgers when they lost 0-3 at the hands of West Ham in August 2015. Klopp will listen from the treatment center, where Jordan Henderson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain worked out. lightly with Thiago Alcantara about to get fit.
This weekend, Liverpool will be a guest of Brighton and Klopp will hope to capture a familiar image of his team. On Wednesday night, losing to Atalanta was not a true Premier League champion.
