Jurgen Klopp Addresses Liverpool’s Title Chance After Everton

Following Liverpool’s 2-0 loss to Everton at Goodison Park, manager Jurgen Klopp talked about the team’s fading chances of winning the title.

The Liverpool manager could not hide his disappointment after seeing his Liverpool team well beaten by the Toffees on Wednesday night. The defeat is a huge blow to the team’s hopes of winning the Premier League title and leaves the Reds three points behind leaders Arsenal with just four games left to play. Manchester City will leapfrog Liverpool in the table with a win over Brighton on Thursday.

Despite his career-long dominance over Everton in the Merseyside derby, Klopp’s final encounter with the Toffees ended in bitter heartbreak. Everton’s victory practically guarantees them a spot in the top division for another season, which only makes things better. After the match, the German manager discussed the situation, saying that Liverpool’s chances of winning the championship in Klopp’s final season now appear very remote.

Klopp offered up the following response about Liverpool’s title hopes after the game in an interview with Sky Sports: “Arsenal and Manchester City must have a very bad moment. I don’t know. I can only apologise for today to the people. We should have done better but we didn’t and that’s why we lost.

“Obviously very disappointed about a lot of things. We let it happen, then it became exactly the game Everton wanted.

“But we were not good enough, that’s what we have to admit. I didn’t expect that today but it happened. Obviously it’s not the greatest moment we are it but you have to fight through, try to get the momentum back.”

For the first time since October 2010, Everton has defeated Liverpool at home in the Premier League, snapping a 12-game losing streak in Merseyside derbies at Goodison Park.
