Jurgen Klopp send devastating seven-word admission following shocking Arsenal defeat at the Emirates stadium
Jurgen Klopp sounded a honest a verdict for Liverpool’s Premier League title race hopes after a 3-2 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates.
The manager admitted ‘we are not in the title race’ (relayed on Twitter by ESPN’s senior football writer, James Olley) as a second league loss left the Merseysiders languishing in the middle of the table on 10 points after eight top-flight fixtures.
This statement will undoubtedly bring back unpleasant memories of the Reds’ 2020–21 season, when the manager similarly acknowledged that his team’s chances of winning the title were over after a defensive injury crisis reduced them to a mere shell of their former selves.
This time, the main reason for our continuous problems isn’t as obvious; while it undoubtedly had a role, we can’t blame the lack of important guys at the park’s center.
We displayed flashes of pure quality throughout the thrilling match in North London, but we were simply too vulnerable when we lost possession. Pep Guardiola’s team will undoubtedly be salivating at the prospect of playing us in a week.
Without a doubt, facing the challenges of 2022–23 will be Klopp and his coaching staff’s toughest test yet.
We still have complete faith in the person who brought back the good times at Anfield, but for now, the upcoming football season appears to be long and very uncomfortable for supporters who have become accustomed to winning.
