In the 29th round of the English Premier League, the giant team Liverpool was upset away and lost 0-2 to Everton, who were tired of relegation, thus basically declaring the failure of this season's Premier League championship, and it is difficult to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City for the Premier League championship trophy this season. Arsenal currently leads with 77 points in 34 games, Liverpool is second with 74 points in 34 games, Manchester City is third with 73 points in 32 games, because Manchester City has only one tough game in the last 6 games, that is, playing Tottenham, and the opponents in the other 5 games are relatively weak, Manchester City is likely to be crowned the Premier League champion again.
Liverpool recently had the opportunity to lead the Premier League standings alone, but unfortunately did not seize it, starting from the 2-2 draw with Manchester United in the 32nd round, until the 0-2 loss to Everton in this supplementary game, there was a bad form of collapse and collapse, losing 2 of the 4 Premier League games, drawing 1, winning only 1, and 0-1 Crystal Palace and 3-1 Fulham in the middle of the 4 games. To make matters worse, Liverpool also crashed out of the Europa League quarter-finals, losing 3-0 to Atalanta at one point.
With such a bad form, Liverpool has reached the end of the Premier League title race in this game, and it is almost impossible to go further, because Liverpool 0-2 Everton has completely lost the spirit of the championship. In this away game against Everton, Uncle Klopp used the 433 formation, Dias, Nunez, Salah, Van Dijk, Robertson, Alexander-Arnold, Alisson and others led the starters, and the squad was worth as much as 604 million euros, while Everton's starting lineup was only worth 203 million euros, led by Lewin, Pickford and others.
In the game, Liverpool had the absolute initiative on the field, but the offensive efficiency was extremely low and the defense was very fragile. Everton broke down Liverpool through defensive counterattacks, in the 27th minute of the game, Everton attacked strongly, creating chaos in the penalty area, Branswaite picked up the leak and scored a goal, Liverpool 0-1 Everton;
Liverpool had 77% possession throughout the game, with a 22-16 shot ratio and a 6-6 shot on target ratio with Everton, and finally turned it into a 0-2 defeat. After the loss, the Liverpool generals had no heart, and Uncle Scum was also directly discouraged in the interview, expressing his disappointment, and at the same time thinking that it would be difficult for the team to compete for the Premier League championship again, and bluntly said that even if the opponent for the championship lost, it was useless for Liverpool to win. Captain Virgil van Dijk exposed dressing room issues in an interview, and he openly said that everyone should reflect, look in the mirror and think if they have given everything.
The words of Uncle Scum and Van Dijk are basically certain that there is a problem within Liverpool, not only the generals are not in harmony, but the players have also lacked trust in each other, and some people may be rotten. The fuse of all this may be Klopp's announcement in the middle of the season that he will leave the team in the summer of 2024, and the current situation, Uncle Scum will also leave with regrets, this season as his farewell season, only one championship, only won the English League Cup.
