UEFA Europa League: Jurgen Klopp Says Losing To Atalanta At Anfield A 바카라�Low Point바카라� For Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp called Thursday바카라�s 3-0 home defeat to Atalanta a 바카라�low point바카라� in Liverpool바카라�s season as their Europa League hopes were left hanging by a thread. (More Football News)

Liverpool looked flat throughout the quarter-final first leg and ended the night perhaps fortunate Atalanta had not taken one of the many late chances they had to add to a lead given to them by Gianluca Scamacca바카라�s brace and a late Mario Pasalic goal.

Harvey Elliott hit the post in the first half and Mo Salah had a goal ruled out for offside in the second, but Liverpool lacked the spark needed to beat a well-organised Atalanta side, who will be confident of finishing the job next Thursday in Bergamo.

Before Klopp can think about that match, he must lift his players for Sunday바카라�s visit of Crystal Palace in the tight battle at the top of the Premier League table.

바카라�It was a really bad game, oh my God,바카라� Klopp said after Liverpool바카라�s first home defeat in nearly 14 months.

바카라�We started well, really well and then didn바카라�t continue. They broke, they scored and we just lost the plot a little bit. We were here and there in midfield, I didn바카라�t recognise it.

바카라�It was really strange but in football terms it was tactical discipline. There was a big chance for Darwin (Nunez) and then it was unlucky with Harvey, but they scored and we kept playing into their hands.

바카라�We played a bad game and we we deserved to lose. We must feel that now but we have exactly this night to feel bad about it and then we have to build up for Palace.바카라�

Klopp made six changes to his side following Sunday바카라�s 2-2 draw with Manchester United, but his bid to freshen up the side failed, and their chances of ending the German바카라�s reign with a showpiece final in Dublin have taken a huge hit.

바카라�I believe it바카라�s not the moment to talk about that,바카라� Klopp said when asked if the tie was still alive. 바카라�I바카라�m not in the mood to think about the game in a week바카라�s time when we have another in between.

바카라�Definitely we have to try, we want to win the game but now is not the moment to have a big mouth. We have to play a really good game.

바카라�Where we are, this is probably a low point for us performance-wise so it should be possible to play a little bit better and we can play a lot better. But first and foremost it바카라�s about Sunday now.바카라�

The final whistle brought huge celebrations for Atalanta and their travelling fans. Gian Piero Gasperini said he wanted to enjoy the moment, but warned the job is only half done.

바카라�Tonight was amazing,바카라� he said through a translator. 바카라�I didn바카라�t make any changes until 10 minutes to go and the only one change because it is hard to touch something about a team that held until the 90th minute in the best way.

바카라�Such a victory, it바카라�s OK to celebrate but we all know we ill have to conquer everything in seven days바카라� time in Bergamo because Liverpool is a really strong team and they can score goals quickly.

바카라�We will have to play another very precise game in every aspect and repeat tonight바카라�s game because everything remains to be played. But our advantage makes us hope for the best.바카라�
