Jurgen Klopp speaks on Liverpool’s title chances after home loss to Crystal Palace

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has insisted that his side might not win the Premier League if they keep playing the way they did against Crystal Palace.

The reds lost ground in the Premier League title race following a disappointing 1-0 loss against Crystal Palace at Anfield.

Eberechi Eze scored in the first period as Liverpool failed to get a equalizer. Klopp has now insisted that they will not overhaul Manchester City and Arsenal playing like that.

“If we play like we did in the first half, why should we win the league?” said the Liverpool boss. “If you play like we did in the second half, we can win football games. So if we can win football games, then we will see how many we can win.

“We have to be around when the other guys struggle, if they struggle. Criticism in these moments is completely fine and absolutely right.

“It’s all about how we deal with it and in the first half we didn’t do particularly well with the situation. But in the second half, we pulled ourselves together and should have won the game.”

Liverpool have failed to score in their last two matches and will be eager to turn things around when they play Atlanta in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final clash.
