The most recent Liverpool news as the Reds, who suffered a shocking 3-0 setback to Atalanta at Anfield, have a mountain to climb in the second leg of their Europa League quarterfinal.
Jamie Carragher, a veteran of Liverpool, has stated that following the team’s loss to Atalanta, Jurgen Klopp need to put the Premier League title fight before the Europa League.
At the beginning of the evening, the Reds were the clear favorites to win the championship, but that might have altered today. Gianluca Scamacca and Mario Pasalic’s goals made it a night to forget for Liverpool at Anfield as they lost 3-0 in the first leg of their quarterfinal matchup with Manchester United.
When the team visits Italy for the return leg next week, they will have an even bigger mountain to climb. However, Liverpool defeated Atalanta 5-0 during their most recent visit there in November 2020; a repeat of that performance would allow them to win the series.
Carragher thinks Klopp ought to decide before the team departs for Italy because of how close the title fight was and the difficulty the club faces in the second leg. After work, he used X (previously Twitter) to provide his evaluation.
He remarked, “Awful performance & result from Liverpool.” “The only bright spot in a defeat this severe is that Jurgen should play a complete second string in the second leg and give it his all for the league!”
Three days later, Liverpool hosts Fulham at Craven Cottage after the second leg in Italy next week. Three days later, they return to action when they play Everton in the Merseyside derby; both matches might have a significant impact on the race for the championship at the end of the season.
