Liverpool verdict - Watford make mockery of opposition jibes but no mitigation for Jurgen Klopp in defeat

Image
Liverpool lose their unbeaten run with a chastening 3-0 defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road Liverpool defeats have been sighted less than Hallie's Comet in recent times, but this chastening setback was nothing less than they deserved. This shrill shriek will be the unwanted wake-up call for those dreaming of  Liverpool  invincibility as a jarring 3-0 loss contrasted with everything that had preceded it in the Premier League since August. On a deeply disappointing night in Hertfordshire, the Reds carelessly frittered away a 44-game unbeaten run that stretched back to January 2019 as they were comprehensively swept aside by Nigel Pearson's Watford . After just one reverse in the 65 Premier League games previous, the Reds saw their L tally double over the course of deeply dispiriting 90 minutes here. Make no mistake, this was as poor as it has been for years under Jurgen Klopp . The Reds manager had no mitigation to point to as he

Sarr double stuns Liverpool Liverpool's stunning defeat to Watford at Vicarage Road means they still need 12 points from their remaining 10 games to secure the Premier League title - that's four wins . So if both Liverpool and City keep winning from this point, Liverpool's chance to secure that fourth win will come   against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday April 5, live on Sky Sports .

Liverpool finally beaten as Ismaila Sarr inspires brilliant Watford

Image
Defeat at Vicarage Road ended the Reds’ unbeaten run of 44 league games, meaning they fell short of matching Arsenal’s Invincibles from the 2003-04 campaign Liverpool manager  Jurgen Klopp  congratulated Watford after they became the first team in the Premier League this season to beat the Reds with a 3-0 win at Vicarage Road. A second-half brace from Ismaila Sarr put the Hornets in control before the Senegal attacker set up Troy Deeney 18 minutes from time to provide the cherry on top of a fine performance from Nigel Pearson’s side. It ended the Reds unbeaten run of 44 league games, meaning they fall short of matching Arsenal’s Invincibles from the 2003-04 campaign, who had gone the season and overall 49 matches without defeat. The first Premier League loss for Liverpool in over a year does little to their hopes of winning the title, but ensured they missed out on including equalling Manchester City’s run of 19 straight top flight wins. “I am no

Klopp explains why Liverpool weren’t good enough in landmark loss to Watford

Jurgen Klopp admitted that Liverpool would have to take their defeat to Watford on the chin, praising his side for keeping trying even when three goals down. Liverpool’s dreams of completing the Premier League season came crashing down when Watford blew them away in extraordinary fashion at Vicarage Road. Ismaila Sarr got two goals and an assist as Watford claimed a 3-0 win  to become the first team to beat Liverpool in the Premier League in over a year. Klopp told  Sky Sports : “They did exactly what they wanted to do, we did not. That’s how football works. “The first half was a tough one, a lot of second balls, running here and there, we had the ball a lot but we didn’t come in the right positions to cross, the right positions to finish, against a really good, organised side, with a top set-up for this game. “You have to accept it, it’s not so easy, but it’s the proof we were not good enough tonight. It’s always very difficult. We have to accept if after.

Watford 3-0 Liverpool: Jürgen Klopp's reaction

Image
Jürgen Klopp felt Watford were deserved winners as Liverpool suffered a first Premier League defeat of the season with a 3-0 reversal at Vicarage Road on Saturday night. The Reds saw a 44-match unbeaten run – and an 18-game winning streak – brought to a halt by the Hornets as an Ismaila Sarr brace and a Troy Deeney strike secured victory for the hosts on an evening to forget for the visitors. Klopp acknowledged his side were far from the outstanding levels they’ve set themselves over the past two seasons, but believes the hosts are deserving of plenty of praise for the manner in which they took the game to their opponents. Nevertheless, the manager is certain Liverpool will show the right reaction to their disappointment as they get ready to go again in the league and cup competitions, starting at Chelsea on Tuesday evening. Read on for a transcript of what Klopp had to say in his post-match press conference… On the result and the performances of the te
