Jurgen Klopp still believes in the defensive pairing, stating that the hosts deserved to win and that his team ‘did not play enough football’

Even though Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk and Alisson made a devastating mistake in their loss to Arsenal, Jurgen Klopp still believes in the defensive pairing, stating that the hosts deserved to win and that his team “did not play enough football.”

Jurgen Klopp has defended Virgil van Dijk and Alisson, the team’s captains and goalkeepers, following their disastrоus mistake that gave Arsenal the win at the Emirates.

Roy Keane, a pundit for Sky Sports, challenged Van Dijk’s involvement in all three of Arsenal’s goals and compared Liverpool’s defense to that of a pub team.

Klopp, though, said that “our two main guys had a misunderstanding” regarding the second goal. They are people, after all. That elevates their typical actions to a whole new level.Without a doubt, we could have done a better job of defending the opening goal. Unfortunately, it is the how things play out.

For the day, neither of us is happy. We are not obligated to create further copies of the game at this time.You can play your heart out and still come up short when facing Arsenal, as we did. We will handle it and go on from there.

Unfortunately, our footballing was lacking. We didn’t put enough effort into the game. Overall, we have to give it to Arsenal; they deserved to win.

“A lot of things were against of us today,” Klopp said in reference to Ibrahima Konate’s red card for two bookings. Anthony Taylor, the referee, sent me off for a wrestling incident involving Mo Salah and Bernardo Silva in Man City’s match.

Even though Jota was in the same predicament today, he was not sent off. Kai Havertz’s decision to hang on to Konate for the initial yellow card is just astonishing. The referee then shows Konate a yellow card after Havertz falls to the ground.

“Gabriel Magalhaes delivers the identical blоw to Darwin Nunez without receiving a yellow card.”

After a mix-up between the Liverpool center defender and Alisson, Gabriel Martinelli scored for Arsenal in an empty net, and Van Dijk himself raised his hands in celebration. This put his club back in the lead.

That is a pivotal point in the match. “It hurts for me—I should have made a better decision,” the Holland international admitted.

As I mentioned before, that was a major game-changing moment. We were so dominant after the break, creating opportunities for ourselves, and the mood became anxiоus.

It is my duty to attempt to clear the turning point.

‘I will bounce back from this, even if it’s not something that happens often in my career.’You can’t make excuses when playing this physically demanding game. It is a divided decision at the highest level.

I will do my best to ensure that this does not happen again, but Alisson touched me lightly and was unable to clear it. I accept full responsibility for this.

As you might imagine, this is a challenging venue for all of the league’s teams.

Losing is painful. Our approach today was superfluous in so many ways.

“Being involved in mistakes hurts, especially seeing the fans and the entire club descend on us, but I will work hard and be back.”
