With the bankruptcy against Everton, the negative run of Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool FC is taking on historic proportions. If that wasn’t enough, there is now another painful defensive failure.
The defending champions of the Premier League lost the derby against Everton on Saturday with 0: 2 (0: 1). It has never been so bad in the Klopp era – the Reds’ home record is as bad as it was almost 100 years ago.
The negative statistics for the next Liverpool bankruptcy
- Novelty under Klopp: At Liverpool he has never received four bankruptcies in a row
- Liverpool for the first time since 2002 with four losses in a row
- The last time there were four home defeats in a row was in December 1923 (!)
- Everton won a derby at Anfield Road for the first time since September 1999
The result against local rivals Everton hurts “very, very”, Klopp admitted frustrated after the final whistle. The champions of the 2019/20 season are currently only sixth. “In the crucial moments we either make a mistake or something strange happens. That’s the way it is,” said the 53-year-old.
Jürgen Klopp on Sky: performance “90 percent positive”
Nevertheless, Klopp was able to find good things in the game. In an interview with Sky Sports the coach described the performance of his team as “90 percent positive”.
“There were a lot of good football moments. We did well in terms of creativity, but we didn’t make anything out of it (…) We could talk about it for an hour and then we would come to the conclusion that we are 90% over here Talking positive things – and only 10% about negative things. We have to change this 10%, because in the end that is what determines the result, “said Klopp.
