'Very worried' Klopp doesn't remember Liverpool's worst game than Brighton's sad defeat

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp couldn't remember a worse performance than in his side's 3-0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday.

Solly March scored twice early in the second half before Danny Welbeck added a fine third as the Seagulls beat Liverpool at home for the first time since 1961.

The Reds, who could be 10 points behind the top four after Sunday's games, have been second throughout and have now started a calendar year with back-to-back league defeats for the first time since 1993.< /p>

They also lost up to five away league matches in a single season for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign.

But it could have been the worst of the lot, with Liverpool fleeing at the back and debauched in attack, giving up 16 shots and failing to score with any of their six. Brighton controlled the ball with 61.9% possession.

"Bad, really bad," Klopp told BBC Sport afterwards. "I can't remember a worse game. It's not difficult maybe. Brighton were the better team, it was well deserved. They played very well.

"It was a very organized team against a not very organized team. We gave the ball away, the spaces were too big and we couldn't push. It's obviously not good, especially against a super good team driven like Brighton.

"They got more confident, and we did the opposite. I can imagine they're very happy because it was a great performance, and we made it too easy in too many moments.

“I had an idea to change the formation, which was to try to help the team. That was the idea, but we never did it right. both, and that's the worst thing you can do.

"We could have done better, but we didn't and that's why I looked like that.

"We have to get creative with the options we have. What I saw today from my team was that they weren't really convinced. That's all ."

When asked if he was concerned about his team's display, Klopp replied: "Yeah, how can you not be after a game like this? I can't stay here and say it didn't happen.

"Of course, we have to worry about that."

In a separate interview, he added: "Doing better should be easy, because it's a really low point. I can't remember a worse game.

"Improving it won't be too difficult. From this game, you can't really remember anything except things that don't work."
