Jurgen Klopp admitted that his team’s performance was less than satisfactory in the match against Luton Town in Week 11 of the Premier League, Sunday. As a result of this draw, Liverpool had to settle for being in 3rd place in the Premier League standings. Jurgen Klopp and his troops failed to beat Tottenham Hotspurs in 2nd place in the race for the 2023 Premier League title.
The star-studded club with the world’s top footballers (Liverpool), could have ousted Tottenham, but with the record that Hospur’s fighting squad, Ange Postecoglou, lost (Tottenham Hotspurs FC coach), when they hosted Chelsea at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Meanwhile, Luton Town is currently still ranked 17th in the English Premier League. Of course, Luton Town’s journey to get out of the relegation zone is getting harder.
The reason is, in the 12th week of the Premier League match, Luton Town will visit Old Trafford, Saturday 11/11/2023. It seems that Rob Edwards (Luton Town coach) and his men put in extra effort to beat the Red Devils (Manchester United). Apart from the problems between Luton Town above, the world’s best manager, Jurgen Klopp, is still disappointed with the draw they got in Week 11 against Luton Town.
Even if in injury time, extra time to be precise, Luis Diaz doesn’t score a goal, Jurgen Klopp’s hopes will definitely dwindle to keep Tottenham Hotspurs close to Manchester City who are still strong at the top of the standings.
We need to give a thumbs up to the performance of the home team (Luton Town). Because, this promotional team is able to balance the super fast play, high determination and high technical skills of Liverpool players, who have more experience than Luton Town.
However, Luton Town’s Tahith Chong scored the first goal in the 80th minute. Suddenly, the Liverpool retainer was confused because of Chong’s spectacular goal. How could it not be, on paper, football observers and world football maniacs definitely favor Liverpool over Luton Town. However, in its presentation on the green field, Luton Town was even able to share points with a team like Liverpool whose experience of winning across the Blue continent (Europe) at various levels of competition.
So, what are Jurgen Klopp’s responses and hopes at the press conference?
“What I didn’t like, especially in the first half, was that we counter-pressed 0.0 (percent) and that’s something I take personally, to be honest. I told the kids, it’s not good, but because I know they’re right – really want to do it, the question is why don’t they? So I have to think about it. But I will do it, maybe it’s not rocket science but I have to watch it again. I have enough time for that,” said Klopp as quoted by the author on the website Liverpool official.
It is clear that Jurgen Klopp is disappointed due to the draw and failure in defeating their opponents. It will be interesting to see how they progress next week.
