Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has taken to the press-conference saying that he is extremely depressed with his team’s performance in their 4-1 thrashing against rivals Manchester City on Saturday and also said that they were lucky and fortunate to have not conceded more than 4 goals.

With just 17 minutes played, Liverpool took an early lead through their star-man Mohamed Salah with the away fans believing that this might be their day but Pep Guardiola’s men had other plans in mind. Argentine World Cup winner Julian Alvarez equalized juts before the half-time mark.

But after the half-time, City never really have them a single chance of coming back and took the crucial lead through Kevin De Bruyne just inside a minute of the restart. With Jack Grealish and Ilkay Gundogan also scoring, it was surely the end to Liverpool’s top-four finish hopes.

Klopp said after the game, "Everyone could see the first half was OK, not only the result. City had more possession but that always happens when we play here and we scored a wonderful goal, could have scored a second one in a really good counter-attack. Then, I would say this situation was rather unlucky, Kevin De Bruyne gets a touch, it rolls through Robbo's legs and then 1-1.”

He added, “You come out of half-time, a ball in midfield, not even a challenge, we are too deep. If you are too deep, too passive, they use that so that is 2-1. Then 3-1 super quick, after we have three or four one-on-one situations and we don't make a challenge and you saw what happened, we were not there, anyone, too passive, too open, too deep, too far away from anything.”

"Four performances were okay, the two midfielders, Hendo [Jordan Henderson] and Fab [Fabinho], worked a lot, Cody [Gakpo] and Ali [Alisson] and that is very difficult. If you want to get something here, 14 or 15 players have to be on top of their game and that was not the case” said Klopp.
