Jürgen Klopp arrived at Liverpool in October 2015, when the season had already advanced: only in 2017/2018 did he open with a draw, but then he recovered with two wins and got back on track. But this start with a double draw and defeat in the Premier League is something that also takes him by surprise.
The German, who was the best coach in the world for FIFA, is now the center of criticism for the poor balance of his team, stuck in the atypical 16th place in the table with only two units, 7 behind the leader Arsenal and 5 behind the archrival , Manchester City. It did not go beyond the 2-2 draw with Fulham, the 1-1 with Crystal Palace (Díaz’s goal) and now the defeat, it is fair to say, against Manchester United by 2-1.
“I don’t have many arguments, we lost the match. Another day, with more conviction than we are having, we can turn it around. That’s right,” said a concerned Klopp at Old Trafford.
In the same vein, Alisson Becker, the best despite the last defeat, put on his face and spoke of the sins he saw on the pitch: “I think that in a few moments we played better than them, but in this game you have to do everything to win and to make a better presentation, we couldn’t do it tonight. We all agree that we have to improve our performance, we have to be more consistent, get the goal back to zero, we have to do better with the ball, create better options, this is what we want and what we are going to pursue for the next matches,” he said.
The good thing is that the Premier is just beginning, that there are very important casualties such as Thiago and Keita (injured), that Darwin Núñez must return after his silly expulsion against Palace, that the pieces still have to be adjusted and there is a long way to go .
It is true that Luis Díaz needs to take a step forward, as against Crystal Palace, but also that the entire team must surround him better, just like Mohamed Salah, who cannot fall on them to carry out the collective task of attacking, which is still the hallmark of the team. team and that, although Mané’s departure was not going to be easy, it should not be a sentence either.
That opportunity that Alisson Becker asks for is just here, next Saturday against Bournemouth (by Jefferson Lerma), a duel scheduled for 9:00 am (Colombian time). The moment to return to being one of the most feared in the world is NOW.
