#5 Liverpool may actually look forward to Chelsea’s visit
Trending
Klopp’s team is still a fairly evolving one and setbacks such as these are to be taken as challenges. Rather than throwing in the towel, Klopp needs his team to keep on working for each other. The game against Chelsea should make them go in with no pressure after such a dreadful week.
Instead, it will be the Blues who are expected to come and get a result at Anfield. It may, as a result, favour Liverpool this time round. After the game, Klopp accepted responsibility for the line-up stating, “I’m responsible for the line-up. It’s not allowed as I understand it to blame the players. You learn a lot about players in these situations, but it’s my responsibility. I’m responsible for it, 100%.”
The German is sure to name a stronger side in the midweek Premier League fixture after seeing his side crash out of cup competitions this week. With only Premier League games to concentrate on now, the German should look to fine tune his playing style further.
The Reds need to ensure that they stop the rot and get back to doing what they were doing earlier this season. Fewer games mean Klopp will get time to work with his players and improve their decision making.
