“I will watch this game on Monday, we play Crystal Palace on Sunday but I know if we do a couple of things better, we will be better, easy”, Klopp told TNT Sports.

 

“Can we win in Bergamo? Yes if we play good. Can we win 3-0? I have no idea. But that’s not important at the moment. We now have to recover and we must feel really, really bad. That’s important.

“In this moment it must be really bad. The boys must go home and sleep bad. That’s how it is. But when we meet tomorrow we have to prepare for Crystal Palace.

“A lot of performances tonight were really, ‘Oops, wow, I didn’t know he could play like that.’

“But I know this can happen and for that you have to create a team movement, they looked really alone in a lot of moments. Nobody to pass to, stuff like this.

“I know the boys can play better football but they didn’t do it tonight. They have to show a reaction on Sunday. I’m pretty sure they will do that.”

It was a difficult watch not only for Klopp but also the Liverpool fans as Atalanta worked harder than the Reds off the ball and took advantage of defensive errors.

Liverpool face a very difficult task in the return leg and will have to believe they can turn the tie around, but if they concede then it’s likely to be all over.
