Liverpool lost 3-0 to Atalanta on Thursday at Anfield in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals. Klopp stated in remarks to "Sky Sports" after the match: "Today's performance was very poor from us, I'm just here to congratulate Atalanta's fans." He continued: "We lost control a bit today, there are no positives to mention, we are everywhere and nowhere at the same time."
The Liverpool coach added: "We started the match really well but didn't continue, we deserve to lose, we have to feel that now." He went on: "Winning in Bergamo? Yes, if we play well. Can we win 3-0? I have no idea, no, we need to recover, we must really feel bad, it was a poor performance, that's how it is."
Klopp also commented: "Would you have wished to start with Mohamed Salah, Szoboszlai, and Robertson? Yes, that's how it is, isn't it? For the reasons I did, I would do the same again. If you want to be good for the rest of the season, you have to make changes."
He concluded by saying: "The players must feel that this is a bad result, and we need to use this match to build ourselves up for the Crystal Palace game." Liverpool will play against Crystal Palace next Sunday in the 33rd round of the Premier League.
