Liverpool’s hopes for a successful Europa League campaign are hanging by a thread after they were comprehensively beaten by Atalanta at Anfield. The Reds have been thrilling and entertaining their supporters throughout the season, but this was an awful performance marked by abysmal marking and mistakes.
The games are coming thick and fast, and Klopp’s team has little time to recover before the visit of Crystal Palace to Anfield on Sunday. Then it’s off to Italy to try and salvage this tie before three successive away games in the Premier League inside a week against Fulham, Everton, and West Ham.
Klopp will be hoping that this is nothing more than a blip as he tries to win a league title with Liverpool still in contention. On a night of few positives, Diogo Jota returned from injury to make his first appearance since 17 February, but it was not enough to save Liverpool from defeat.
