The 2019-20 Premier Leaguewinners, Liverpoolâs downfall is becoming more stunning by the week. There have been many low points this season, but losing 3-0 against Wolves was a new one.
Jurgen Kloppâs players canât even make the domestic cup finals, andthey also have little chance of making the UEFA Champions Leaguein the spring. They are now in tenth place in the league, having lost seven games this season, far further from the top four teams.
Two goals in the loss to Wolverhamptoncame in the opening 12 minutes when Craig Dawson scored his first professional goal and Joel Matip scored an own goal.Although the Reds played better in the second half, their comeback was cut shortby the home teamâs captain, Ruben Neves, in the 71st minute.
Wolves poke fun at Liverpoolâs Jurgen Klopp withhumorous tweet
To make matters worse, Liverpoolâs JurgenKloppstated after the game was over that the Wolvesâ third goal should not have been allowed to stand, adding insult to injury on what had already been a difficult day for his squad:âThe third goal I donât count because it was the first time they passed the halfway line in the second half. The other two goals, going into a game with all the things we said during the week and before the game, then this is the start, is horrible.
âYouâre 2-0 down, the crowd is there but it opens up and we get some control. Then for about 45 minutes, we play a good away game without scoring. That sums it up pretty much. Concentratefor the first 15 minutes. Again, I cannot explain. But these 15 minutes cannot be allowed. It needs to change. Thatâs the thing. I stand here again and for the first 15 minutes I have no explanation, Iâm sorryâ, hetold BBC Sport.
As a result, Wolves have turned to Twitter to poke fun at the German manager, tweeting a mocking picture that suggests they only won 2-0 after chalking off their captainâs third goal in reaction to his allegations that the goal should not have stood.
