adminNEWCASTLE. — Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp voiced hope that his team’s 2-0 defeat at Newcastle United would puncture some of the giddiness engendered by their recent resurgence.
Liverpool were elevated to potential English Premier League champions by some observers following a run of seven wins in eight games in all competitions, which saw them move to within sight of the Champions League soccer places.
But Sunday’s defeat, inflicted by a Martin Skrtel own goal and a late Georginio Wijnaldum strike, left them six points off the top four in seventh place and Klopp said it was a timely reminder of the improvements that his team still have to make.
“If you think after a few weeks everything is perfect, it’s a little bit crazy, no?” the German told his post-match Press conference. — AFP.
