Liverpool’s comeback victory against Crystal Palace, Jurgen Klopp gave an honest assessment of his team’s performance, describing the first 76 minutes as “really bad.” Despite the sluggish showing, goals from Mohamed Salah and Harvey Elliott secured the win after Jordan Ayew was sent off for two bookable offences. Klopp acknowledged that intense weeks can lead to tricky first halves and that the team needed to get through this period with results. He praised the team for winning despite playing poorly for the majority of the game. The win puts Liverpool at the top of the table after Arsenal’s defeat to Aston Villa. Klopp’s team now prepares for a midweek Europa League match against Union SG before facing off against Erik ten Hag’s side, who suffered a humiliating defeat to Bournemouth.
