Jurgen Klopp says only four Liverpool stars played "OK" in "unacceptable" Man City defeat

Jurgen Klopp could only pick out four Liverpool players who did "OK" in their "unacceptable" 4-1 thrashing away to Manchester City.

Despite taking a first-half lead, the Reds crumbled in the second period and suffered yet another defeat away from home in what's been a torrid season. Post-match, Klopp issued a scathing assessment of his team's display and named Alisson Becker, Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Cody Gakpo as the only stars who put in respectable performances - not even goalscorer Mohamed Salah.

"About four performances were OK," the Liverpool manager, who's been used to battling City for the Premier League title but is now focussed on merely achieving a top-four finish, bemoaned. "The two midfielders, Hendo and Fab, worked a lot to try to close gaps. Cody, especially in possession, and Ali of course. That is very difficult if you want to get something from here."
