Collapsed at Goodison Park
The sadness over Jurgen Klopp’s breakup ultimately negatively affected his performance Liverpoolin the most important period of the season.
Liverpool must pay the price when there are only 4 rounds left in the season, with the most attractive 3-way race in Premier League history.
Everton, in the Merseyside derby, took advantage of the confusion Liverpool have experienced recently – with stumbles from the Premier League to the Europa League – to won 3 points at home field Goodison Park.
Liverpool’s biggest problem is the paralysis in defense, when players stand in the wrong position and lack cover, leading to matches where they constantly concede goals.
This was revealed once again and young midfielder Branthwaite successfully took advantage of the chaos in the Liverpool penalty area to beat Alisson to open the score after less than half an hour.
With a goal, Everton pulled the team down low. The home team hid in their home field to protect their results in the battle for relegation.
Liverpool controlled the ball (76.3%), continuously attacked with a total of 23 shots but were ineffective. From Salah to Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, all were inaccurate, or simply finished with Pickford.
In a defensive counter-attack, Everton scored another important goal in a set-piece situation in the first half of the second half. Calvert-Lewin jumped high and headed the goal in a corner kick.
The big responsibility for the loss was Van Dijk. The Dutch midfielder did not react, allowing Calvert-Lewin to comfortably jump up and finish.
Liverpool is exhausted according to Klopp
Xabi Alonso’s refusal to sit in the chair left by Klopp from June 30 puts Liverpool in real chaos.
Since Klopp announced their separation, Liverpool officials did everything to hope to invite Alonson, who is still writing miracles with Bayer Leverkusen.
According to sources close to the club, president Tom Werner and CEO Richard Hughes constantly hold meetings to propose candidates to replace Klopp.
The activity did not yield any results. Every week a new name appears. That’s Ruben Amorim at Sporting Lisbon; Thomas Tuchel will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season; Or recently, it was Peter Bosz, the captain of PSV, who also received a call.
Liverpool’s leadership team wants a profile similar to Klopp’s but this is not easy at all.
Klopp argued in January that he was exhausted, out of energy. Now, the players are in a similar situation.
The dressing room at Anfield showed signs of dispersion. Liverpool players are tired and disoriented, losing motivation when they are unclear about the future.
The fighting spirit of past years has been lost. Even leaders Salah or Van Dijk could not express themselves. Both hinted at the possibility of leaving with Klopp.
Liverpool failed for the first time at Goodison Park since 2010. There, they threw away their hopes of winning the championship title in the most exciting season of the Premier League era.

Liverpool lost to Everton at Goodison Park for the first time in 14 years, Jurgen Klopp was sad that the home team’s situation at this time was only… saved by Man City and Arsenal.
