On the eve of the match of the 2nd round of the UEFA Champions League group stage with Ajax, Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp recalled the failure of the Merseysiders in the last meeting with Napoli (1:4).
“We had a meeting with the players. I watched the match against Napoli many times and, to be honest, it was a real horror show. It was the worst game that Liverpool has had since I took over this team.
We had some bad matches, but this one was the worst. Everyone remembers the Aston Villa rout and some other disastrous games where we just couldn’t keep up with the opposition, but at least there were some glimpses.
There was nothing in the match against Napoli. We need to understand why this happened. I think eight players in the starting line-up performed at times worse than their abilities, and three others did not reach the highest level of their game. This is normal”, — quotes the words of Klopp Goal.com.
