Klopp: 'If Wolves saw that game tonight they would not stop laughing'

“It was really tough to take but I would say not that difficult to explain," Jurgen Klopp told BT Sport after Liverpool's shambolic display against Napoli.

"Firstly, Napoli played really well and we didn’t. That is the first explanation for the defeat. The two penalties we concede, they were both a little unlucky.

"The next two goals we concede are handed to them on a plate. That is not cool and we should have defended better in the first place and, of course, in the last moment as well.

"We were not compact defensively or offensively. Until Thiago entered the pitch I cannot remember one counter-pressing situation. The reason for that is that we are just too wide.

"Everything was obvious. Why it happened, I cannot answer now. It is tough to take but I have to take it.

"With Alisson in goal you have to be really bad to concede three goals [in the first half].

"You could see it on the pitch. We were not working as a team. That is why we lose games. We play in the strongest league in the world and have a tough Champions League group too.

"We have to play in three days against Wolves. If Wolves saw that game tonight they would not stop laughing and would say it is the perfect moment. We have to try to find a set up to be much better in pretty much everything."

Liverpool were defeated 4-1, and the scoreline might be even too king to the Reds who were all over the shop, especially in the first half.

They don't only face Wolves this weekend but also play Ajax at home next Tuesday already. Today, the Dutch side hammered Rangers 4-0.
