• Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp gave several reasons why his team was beaten by Leeds United at home on Saturday night
• Klopp said injuries, consistency and performance was the reason they couldn't beat a resilient Leeds team
• The Reds are now ninth in the table, 13 points behind leaders Manchester City

Liverpool's dreadful season continued on Saturday, October 29th, when his side suffered a disappointing 2-1 home defeat at the hands of relegation-threatened Leeds United at Anfield.

The Reds were looking to bounce back after losing to bottom team Nottingham Forest last weekend, and manager Jurgen Klopp has revealed where he felt it went wrong for them against Leeds.

With just four wins from their first 12 matches, Liverpool's Premier League season is not going well. Klopp's side have also lost for times this season, twice as much as they lost last season, according to the BBC.

With a title challenge effectively over, Liverpool are probably focusing on the top four race, which is tough.

Klopp's verdict on the match

According to the Mirror, Klopp gave several reasons why a resolute Leeds United side beat them.

"We scored the equaliser but for some reason it didn't give us the security back. We struggled to control the game and gave too many balls away."

The German tactician added that squad depth is a problem for them since they have several first-teamers on the sidelines.

"Maybe some players are overplayed, Harvey [Elliott] has been exceptional for us this season. He had a good start but couldn't keep it going. Thiago has been ill, up front the same [players] play all the time."

Klopp said that his side can recover from the poor start if they imposed themselves better.

Sports Brief earlier reported on Jurgen Klopp saying injuries have crippled his side's consistency.

The likes of Luis Diaz, Naby Keita, Joel Matip, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Diogo Jota have missed time this season.

"What you need for really clicking is consistency in the line-up as well and we can't do that at the moment, not at all."
