Liverpool are in crisis. A full on, cracked-badge crisis. What now, Jurgen?
If it wasn’t the case before their latest three-goal embarrassment, it certainly is now. Liverpool are in crisis. A full on, cracked-badge crisis.
At the full-time whistle, Klopp looked resigned and forlorn. Beaten as badly as his side have been by Wolves, Brighton and Brentford. Those three-goal defeats represent the first time in over a decade that Liverpool have suffered three consecutive losses on the road.; Wolves was worse still. Since the first of those defeats just over a month ago, Klopp and the travelling supporters have been waiting for a reaction from their players but, each time, all they’ve witnessed is a new nadir.
Still, Van Dijk on his worst day would be an upgrade on what Joel Matip and Joe Gomez offered up at Molineux. Matip went to Wolves in woeful form and his early own goal put Liverpool on the back foot. The manner in which the ball made its way beyond Alisson was unfortunate for the defender, but he – and his team-mates – cannot blame bad luck for how Hwang Hee-chan found himself in possession at the byline.
Klopp labelled Liverpool as ‘passive’, which is the apt description of their defending from a set-piece seven minutes later. ‘Half-arsed’ would be appropriate too. Andy Robertson went through the motions while Matip was unwilling or incapable of closing down Craig Dawson’s space as the Wolves defender lashed home his first goal for his new club.
