Jürgen Klopp takes Liverpool's poor form with humour

If injuries and poor performances were not enough for a team that had a bad start to the Premier League campaign, the suspension of the same competition indicates that of all the ailments, the lack of pace is what could compromise Liverpool the most as they prepare to host Ajax on Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League, a competition that did not welcome the Anfield side in the best possible way after that drubbing by Napoli last week.

Ahead of the clash against the Amsterdam giants, the German coach came out to the media to talk about his team's current situation, taking some humour when questioned about the squad's inactivity and possible loss of form after six days of inactivity, Jürgen Klopp responded ironically by assuring them that it is precisely that rhythm that they want to leave behind after the poor results so far.

The hopeful news Liverpool was hoping for improvement

Without taking the response to the media to heart, the Reds fans on Twitter backed the ironic and funny way in which the German coach responded, because after seven games (six in the Premier League and one in the Champions League) played before the suspension of the English league due to force majeure in the royal family, Liverpool had been showing a decline in level that was triggered by injuries.

The only glimpses of good rhythm and football given by the Anfield institution until now were on August 27 when they received the visit of Bournemouth in that historic 9-0 thrashing, returning days later to that poor level that led them to win on the hour against Newcastle, draw goalless against Everton and lose 4-1 at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium against Napoli.

Rising from the ashes

Nobody more than Klopp knows what his team needs to rise from the ashes and start to be a protagonist both in England and in the European league, with time being the German coach's best ally today, as well as generating new competition strategies that adapt to the current capabilities of the squad, he also keeps an eye on injuries and their evolution, waiting for a couple of pieces to complement the structure that has received so much damage in the midfield.
