The visitor’s locker room music muffled Jurgen Klopp’s post-match interview following Liverpool’s loss to Crystal Palace, and he appeared enraged.

Eberechi Eze’s first-half goal was enough for Palace to secure all three points and deal Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes a significant and shocking blow in Klopp’s farewell weeks, with him stepping down at Anfield when the season ends. The Reds boss looked frustrated during his interview with Sky Sports.

The Eagles kept cutting holes in the Reds’ defense, and Andy Robertson’s save of Jean-Philippe Mateta’s goal-bound attempt will make Liverpool feel fortunate not to have lost further ground. However, by the end of the game, Liverpool’s forward line had squandered numerous painful opportunities to win the game.

And Klopp’s face was etched with the frustration of his team failing to score and experiencing defeat at Anfield for the second time in a week following Atalanta’s 3-0 Europa League victory on Thursday. The 56-year-old’s disposition would have taken a serious hit when the sound of Palace’s changing room music filled the tunnel leading to Anfield.

The noise of the celebrations in the Palace dressing room drifted into the background as Klopp stood erect, head cocked back, eyes narrowed, answering a question.

The German expressed his disgust with Liverpool’s inefficient performance, which saw Andy Robertson blame his misfiring teammates for the loss. Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Luis Diaz were among those who missed excellent opportunities. When the final whistle blew, Klopp shook his head and puffed out his cheeks. Liverpool is currently two points behind Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.

Klopp stated, “Here we stand, lost the game, and I feel really, really rubbish,” amid the thunderous applause from the Palace crowd. We need some time to comprehend that right now since it’s a really unfortunate situation.

“We’re not used to losing our second straight home game. We must observe our response to that; we must undoubtedly address it. Of course, we will do that, but right now, it doesn’t seem like the end of the season, so I can’t just stand here and say, “That’s it, that’s where we start.”
