Liverpool’s Premier League title ambitions took a hit on Sunday as they suffered a surprising 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Anfield. Manager Jurgen Klopp was left feeling “rubbish” after the game, acknowledging his team’s lackluster performance.

Despite the setback, Klopp isn’t giving up on the title race just yet. He emphasized the need for his team to capitalize on opportunities when other top contenders stumble. Liverpool currently trail Manchester City by two points.

Klopp expressed frustration with his squad’s performance, particularly their inability to convert 21 goal attempts into a single score. The defeat marked Liverpool’s first home league loss in 29 games.

The German coach pointed out issues with his team’s pressing game and midfield performance, and also referenced damaging results against Manchester United as contributing factors to Liverpool’s recent struggles.

As Liverpool looks ahead to a challenging stretch of four away games, Klopp remains determined to turn things around and stay in contention for the Premier League title. He stressed the importance of winning games and capitalizing on any potential struggles from other top teams.
