Imagine being in Jugen Kloppp’s position. A few days after the most emphatic, dream win over rivals Manchester United, the already-legendary 7-0 win at Anfield, the Reds travelled to the south coast of England to go down 1-0 to Bournemouth. And now, you have to explain how and why.If Klopp returned to this house on Saturday night and broke a vase or something in fury – we can hardly blame him. All the missed early chances and the conceded goal, and Mohamed Salah’s missed penalty left the German bewildered.”I am very disappointed. The game was pretty much the opposite of what we wanted to show and do today. We played, for 95 minutes, the game Bournemouth wanted to play. We had only a few minutes and a few moments when we did what we wanted to actually do. We lost the game and it’s very, very, very frustrating.”##NAJAVA_MECA_7088079##Liverpool players don’t seem to have a problem when facing a big club and a famous opponent. However, most of their defeats came against so-called small clubs: Brentford, Wolves, Brighton, Nottingham Forest, Leeds and now Bournemouth. Most of those teams would be happy just to avoid relegation, and yet – they had too much for Klopp’s unpredictable stars.The frustration of the latest setback was particularly acute given it came less than a week after Liverpool’s demolition of Manchester United, when it appeared they had turned a corner. It was only an illusion. The challenge now is to pick themselves up ahead of a crucial run of games which includes Wednesday’s trip to Real Madrid and, after the international break, Premier League away games against Manchester City and Chelsea. It’s looking tough for Klopp.”We have to ensure we recover properly because on Wednesday, we have a big game against Real Madrid. Then it’s the international break when we hope everyone comes back healthy. Then we have the football week of all football weeks, opponents-wise, So, there’s a lot to go for but today is not the moment for me to talk about that. This game was a massive knock. How is it with knocks? You have to take them and then you have a look how big the scars are and then go from there.”Liverpool lose to 20th place Bournemouth.What a difference a week makes 😅 pic.twitter.com/g0qQow2UwD— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) March 11, 2023 The scars Klopp speaks about are already holding Liverpool back, but it could get even worse if they don’t finish the season in one of the top four spots in the Premier League. Missing out on Champions League football next campaign would be another painful blow.PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 27SaturdayBournemouth – Liverpool 1-0 (1-0)/Billing 28/Tottenham – Nott.Forest 3-1 (2-0)/Kane 19, 35 pen, Son 62 – Worrall 82/Everton – Brentford 1-0 (1-0)/McNeil 1/Leeds – Brighton 2-2 (1-1)/Bamford 40, Harrison 78 – Mac Allister 33, Harrison 61 og/Leicester – Chelsea 1-3 (1-2)/Daka 39 – Chilwell 11, Havertz 45+5, Kovacic 78/Crystal Palace – Man.City 0-1 (0-0)/Haaland 78 pen/Sunday17:00: (1.40) Man.Utd.
