Klopp explains what worried him most in Liverpool’s 2-0 defeat to Atalanta

Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp will have plenty of reasons to be disappointed after their Champions League defeat to Atalanta.

The Premier League club thrashed Atalanta 5-0 in their recent away match, but were far from at their best as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at Anfield on Wednesday.




Suprisingly, Liverpool failed to register a single shot on target against Atalanta, which must be very rare, with players like Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane so often blowing teams away with their quality in attack.

The Reds boss will be keen to change things after this hugely disappointing performance, as he spoke after the match about the lack of efforts on goal.

Klopp highlighted this as a concern for his team as he suggested he will make changes as they prepare to play Brighton in the Premier League this weekend.

“We have to make changes for Saturday, and we will have to make changes next Tuesday. It is a tough period that we have to go through,” Klopp told BT Sport.




“If you don’t have a shot on target, it’s never a good sign. Football is all about decision making. Tonight our decision making was obviously not so good. We made five changes, it didn’t work out. I would do it again.”

Liverpool’s defeat means they need one point in their final two remaining games to confirm their progress into the last-16, though Klopp will be aiming to win the group.
