Jurgen Klopp acknowledged Liverpool’s own defensive deficiencies were behind their thumping 4-1 defeat to Manchester City and said the manner of conceding goals in the second half meant the Reds were fortunate their hosts were not in a more punishing mood.
Despite Mohamed Salah giving Liverpool the lead, City hit back before half time through Julian Alvarez and scored three more after the restart, including two in quick succession straight after half-time where Klopp’s defence was nowhere to be found.
