adminWATFORD. — Jurgen Klopp challenged his Liverpool flops to prove they have the stomach for a fight after capitulating in a woeful 3-0 defeat against Watford.
Klopp’s side fell apart after a blunder from Reds goalkeeper Adam Bogdan was punished by Watford’s Nathan Ake in the third minute at Vicarage Road on Sunday.
Showing little resistance against tenacious opponents, Liverpool conceded a sloppy second goal when Odion Ighalo bullied Martin Skrtel into another mistake in the 15th minute.
Liverpool never threatened a response as Watford wrapped up their first home win over the Reds since 1986 when in-form Ighalo headed home in the closing minutes. It was the heaviest defeat of Klopp’s two-month reign and by far the worst performance.
Coming after praise was heaped on the German and his players following impressive wins at Manchester City and Southampton, Klopp wants to see what kind of response Liverpool, without a win in four matches, can summon now the going is a little tougher. — AFP.
