Humiliated at Anfield by Atalanta in the Europa League (0-3), the Reds failed to turn things around in the Premier League. Sunday, for the 32nd day of the Premier League, Liverpool lost at home (0-1) against Crystal Palace. Success is completely fleeing Jürgen Klopp's group at the moment and the German coach is experiencing complicated times in his final weeks at the head of the club.
If the performance against Bergamo was disastrous, Liverpool above all showed incredible clumsiness and marked bad luck against Palace. In any case in the second half, after a first act during which the defense led by Virgil van Dijk confirmed its current weaknesses. Eberechi Eze, the nugget of the Eagles, was at the conclusion of an offensive movement by his team on an assist from Tyrick Mitchell (0-1, 14th).

Huge missed opportunities
After multiple changes at the break and around the hour mark, with the successive entries of Dominik Szoboszlai, Trent Alexander-Arnold (replacing the injured Conor Bradley), Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo, the Reds pushed like never before. , missing an impressive number of clear chances. Darwin Nunez, to name just one, risks sleeping badly thinking about this recovery two meters from the goal pushed back by Dean Henderson, the Crystal Palace goalkeeper. Even worse, undoubtedly, was the remorse of Curtis Jones, thrown into a duel with the same Henderson, but unable to find the target after opening his foot too much.
After Manchester City's victory (5-1) against Luton on Saturday and while waiting for the match between Arsenal and Aston Villa in the afternoon, the Reds are in 3rd place in the Premier League standings, with the possibility of finding themselves three points behind the Gunners if they manage to win at the Emirates.
