"This feels very, very rubbish"- Jurgen Klopp On Loss Against Crystal Palace

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is feeling upset about Liverpool's 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace last night. The Reds lost the top spot on the table to Manchester City who climbed to the top of the table after defeating Luton 5-1 on Saturday. Arsenal lost 2-0 to Aston Villa at home, that too in the last few minutes of the match.  The Premier League title race is getting more interesting with every passing weekend and with Liverpool's loss to Crystal Palace, it seems like Jurgen Klopp's side still has a lot to do if they want to win the league this year. Jurgen Klopp is on his way to exiting Liverpool after the season ends, and that is one of the major reasons behind Klopp wanting to win the Premier League title this year. 

Klopp admitted that Liverpool's loss to Crystal Palace had a lot to do with their defeat at the hands of Atalanta in the Europa League quarter-finals last week. The German manager accepted that Liverpool's performance was extremely poor as a result of their previous loss. Klopp spoke to Sky Sports after the match, describing his side's performance, in addition to what his side needs to do from now on until the end of the season:  

"This one feels really, really rubbish. I need time to process that. I am standing here and to talk about this game is really tricky. Two different games I would say, with the first half and second half. The first half was absolutely not good enough so we showed a reaction. The reaction was we lost conviction from the last game. We tried to get rid of this but that worked out as much as we wanted. To concede that goal was a horrible goal to concede with a completely free player in the area. That cannot happen but it happens." 

"Andy Robertson gets the other ball so it's like scoring a goal if you don't concede from that. Crystal Palace didn't have many more and we controlled it better and then second half we can easily say if we don't score with these chances what can you say? The game in the second half was much better, Trent coming on and at that moment the structure changed. We caused problems and we had big big chances. If we stand here and win the game 4-1 we could have seen the same game with a completely different result. But we didn't so we have to take that."

Liverpool will now lock horns with Atalanta for the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final this week.
