Jurgen Klopp gives verdict on Liverpool’s defeat to Wolves

Liverpool faced Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday and suffered a 3-0 defeat at Molineux Stadium.

Joel Matip scored an own goal at the 5th minute, meanwhile, Craig Dawson and Ruben Neves also got their names on the scoresheet.

The Reds are currently 10th in the league table with 29 points.

Following the game, Klopp said via Liverpoolfc.com: “Very frustrating, very disappointing. The start into the game was horrible, absolutely horrible; it was the opposite of what we wanted to do. The first 12 minutes, 2-0 down, is absolutely never helpful, but especially in our situation. It is absolutely not allowed to happen.

“Not for being passive, not for doing what we did in these moments. So, we saw different games today – all in one. The first 12 minutes, then an OK away performance where we created, we were there, that was absolutely OK.

“Then we started extremely well in the second half. The first 25/30 minutes of the second half was brilliant, was a super away game without scoring and then they scored the third goal from a counter-attack and the rest is then getting it over the line, pretty much.

“We caused that misery with the first 12 minutes. You can ask me if I can explain it; it is now 10 or 15 minutes after the game, still not. That cannot happen, it cannot. It did, I know, but that’s really tough to swallow.”
