The Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp has accepted that he was at fault for Liverpool’s dreadful performance last night Champions League game against Napoli. But was it all his fault? Klopp’s Liverpool were deservedly beaten by Napoli. It was unfortunate though, as Lorenzo Insigne scored a 90-minute goal to send tears to the guest.

It was unfortunate that Liverpool’s Naby Keita was also injured in the 19th minute. He was taken to hospital as a precaution. The problem is he has some kind of back injury. His loss will certainly be a loss for Liverpool.
The game started ok for the visitors and Klopp said “Then the timing for our defensive movements were not good enough, we didn’t close the spaces in the right moment, we didn’t react in the right situation and so they could play through our formation. Things like this happen but not as often as they did tonight, and it costs energy. We had to fight really hard. Then when you have the ball you have to play much calmer.”

He also added, “I have to accept that a big part of that performance was my fault for sure but I need at least one night to watch it again and see exactly what was the fault, but it was not like it should have looked.”
Klopp has also refused to blame an intense sequence of fixtures for his team’s subdued display and insisted there would be no repeat when Manchester City visit Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday. With Liverpool playing Twice a week I think it is definitely catching up with them. No human can perform to their best with such an intense number of games in such a short time.

All will depend on Sunday’s game. Will Liverpool be able to perform?
