Liverpool simply didn't turn up for the Premier League clash with Manchester United but two players in particular will have concerned Jurgen Klopp.

Klopp: "We are really in the game, then we concede the second. The watch ran down without any football.” “We are in a tricky situation injury wise, we got through the week with 14, 15 senior players available and now have to make sure they don’t get injured. “We had to keep chasing the game and that is not what you want to do. We lost 2-1 because time ran out. We were unlucky with situations against an opponent like United, it would have been helpful to score and go 1-1 at half time.
Jurgen Klopp has played down Manchester United's defensive showing in Monday's 2-1 win and says Liverpool caused them 'massive problems'.
We were then not clean enough anymore but put them under pressure, created moments, and David de Gea with a few outstanding saves as well. ‘But we scored a goal and then time ran out. I’m not sure if it was immediately after that, but then from a specific moment we really then played the game we wanted to play. That’s how it is, and then you always lose a bit of precision or whatever. We were unlucky in certain situations, especially around the set-piece that we didn’t score. Asked if United were ‘at it’ from the first moment, Klopp told ViaPlay: ‘Yes, absolutely.

Jurgen Klopp was in understandably spiky form after his team went three Premier League games without a win, losing to their fierce rivals at Old Trafford.

Liverpool were rotten and it's Jurgen Klopp who gets the blame after that sh*tshow on Monday night, while Manchester United fans are giddy.
Would one of the greatest CBs of all time, the last defender to win the ballon d’or, have been too small to play in the PL too? Last season in the Erdivisie he faced 4.7 aerial duels per game and won 3.3 of those (70%). Taking the game on Saturday, Martinez was only partially to blame for one goal (the third), and I say partially because two United players were sleeping and out-jumped at the back post before Martinez failed to attack the ball with any conviction. But for the first time in a very long time, we looked like a team, rather than a collection of individuals waiting for someone to take a leadership role. So maybe give the guy a chance, although obviously Carragher won’t as he has an ulterior motive. Or just maybe he has been overcoming his lack of height since he started playing and has made a bloody successful career out of it so far. …3 points on the board, the first win of the season, 6 points behind the leaders, we’re back in the title race. Just cut out the diving and own goal attempts and you’re gravy. Watching the game last night (Man Utd took on Liverpool), I couldn’t help but be reminded of the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford between the two sides in October 2019. From that peak, probably, as they were arguably the best team in the world during that period. Well, I said they were there for the taking. Let’s be clear, Liverpool haven’t shown up in the first three games, and playing Hendo and Milner was an absolute clusterf**k by Klopp.
LIVERPOOL have already struggled with injuries in the opening weeks of the new Premier League season.
It would have been a deserved draw after a start where United looked sharper than us, but not for too long,” the German concluded. That’s obviously not cool, but I liked the line-up for the game tonight. The Guinea international will undergo further assessments, with Klopp unable to put a date on a return. Keita has been linked with a departure from Anfield over the last few weeks but that was not linked with him missing the [Premier League](/latest/premier-league) game. Sources from Liverpool have denied that to be the case. The 27-year-old has endured a disrupted few weeks due to injury and illness.
Football Insider has been told by Gabriel Agbonlahor that Jurgen Klopp should worry about his Liverpool team rather than what a pundit has to say.
He didn’t give his team the mentality monster against Manchester United, they didn’t have any mentality.“ “Jurgen Klopp has defended Manchester United, his biggest rivals, then a few days later has lost to them. “Everything that I said was exactly what other pundits across the world would’ve said.
