Jurgen Klopp Makes Surprise Admission After 'crazy' Week for Liverpool

• Jurgen Klopp has said that he felt like a "witch" had cursed his Liverpool side in the build-up to their clash with Crystal Palace
• The Reds were without a number of key players prior to the clash, including Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino
• Liverpool went on to settle for a 1-1 draw against the Eagles, but not after Darwin Nunez saw a red card

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he felt Liverpool had been cursed after a crazy week which culminated in a frustrating draw against Crystal Palace.

The Reds are yet to hit the ground running this season, with the Premier League giants dropping points in two of their opening fixtures.

The Merseysiders kicked off their campaign with a frustrating 2-2 draw with newly-promoted Fulham at Craven Cottage.

Liverpool followed up the result with another disappointing performance which saw them draw 1-1 with Crystal Palace in their first home match of the season.

Klopp's charges were dominant through the match but conceded at the half-hour mark after Wilfried Zaha found the back of the net.

Things went from bad to worse moments into the second half after Darwin Nunez was shown a straight red card for headbutting a Crystal Palace player.

The hosts had Luis Diaz to thank after the summer arrival restored parity in the 61st minute as the tie ended all square.

Jurgen Klopp admits he felt Liverpool had been cursed

Klopp has now admitted that he felt that his side had been cursed after a crazy week in the Premier League.

The German cited his side's string of injuries for his senior players as one of the key issues that made him feel they are unlucky.

The Reds were without Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino during the Monday clash at Anfield, while they were also short in midfield after Thiago, Alex-Oxlade Chamberlain, and Curtis Jones missed the tie.

Joel Matip was also ruled out late in the week, leaving Klopp with no option but to start Nat Phillips alongside Virgil van Dijk in the heart of defence.

"Everything went during the week against us, it was like a witch was in the building," Sportbible quoted Klopp saying after the Palace encounter.

"Putting in such a performance in the circumstances I am really proud," he added.
