This is the worst loss that Liverpool ever encountered in the EPL run this year, following a 3-0 loss against Brighton. Meanwhile, this victory is huge for Wolverhampton as Julen Lopetegui continued to imply his brilliant mind and led the Molineux crowd into total ecstasy, seeing their team getting out of the relegation zone and looking to finish this season in a Top 10 finish.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp accepted the defeat and looking for better performance for the upcoming fixtures, “We have to change it immediately in the next game. Everton won today and they are in a good moment so we have to prove a point again,” Klopp said after the defeat.
The result leaves Liverpool to fall into 10th, lagging behind Newcastle United with 11 points behind. A dreadful opening killed the momentum and confidence of Jurgen Klopp’s side and registered their first three consecutive losing skid in a decade (since April 2012). Wolves have now won three of their first six Premier League games under the era of Spanish mentor Julen Lopetegui compared to their first 15 league matches this season under Bruno Lage managerial and Steve Davis combined. This also marks their first victory with more than a single goal since March 2022 against Watford.
This is the most dominant game that the Wolves have produced so far – as the home favorite scored twice within just the first twelve minutes. Joel Matip committed the worst mistakes in this match, as he directed Hee-chan’s cross into his own net just five minutes into the match for the opening score in favor of Wolverhampton. Seven minutes later, Craig Dawson followed it to make a remarkable debut after Kilman’s effort was blocked. The host was really thrashing and dominating the struggling Liverpool, as their star striker Moh Salah failed to deliver. Nunes tried to also be involved in the action, striking an effort straight at Alisson after dispossessing Matip before Neves saw his chance to secure all three points for the Wolves.
“We caused misery within the first 12 minutes,” Klopp accepted. “It cannot happen but it did. It’s really tough to swallow. Today was the pinnacle of our problems: in a game like this it’s totally not allowed. You can criticize us, judge us as much as you like, those 12 minutes were the worst in a while,” he added.
The Liverpool coach appreciated and was impressed by the consistent waves of Wolves attacks and the extreme hunger from Julen Lopetegui’s team to totally win this game, control the match, and get as many possessions as possible.
Can Jurgen Klopp still make a turnaround for Liverpool – this will be his most difficult challenge that he will face in his eight-year career at Anfield. “For fans to be calling for Klopp’s head is just funny. Look at the job he has done at that club. The season hasn’t even finished and already they are calling it a disappointment,” said by former Everton forward James McFadded in a radio live show.
