Liverpool are currently second in the Premier League
The Reds are second in the Premier League table with 71 points in 31 matches. They have two draws and three wins in their last five matches. Although they have the same points as Arsenal, the Gunners are at the top of the table because of their higher goal difference.
Jürgen Klopp opened up about his side's loss to Atalanta and said:
“Unfortunately there is nothing really positive to say about the game,” he told TNT Sports. “The start was good and we were maybe unlucky with Harvey hitting the crossbar and that period we 100 per cent deserved to be 1-0 up. Darwin’s chance was another good moment so that was really good."
He added:
“But from a specific moment on it became a really bad game and there is nothing positive to say about that. I didn’t like our discipline in possession. We were everywhere, which then means nowhere. No counter-press, we played into their hands.”
Liverpool will face Crystal Palace next in the Premier League on April 14, 2024.
