Klopp reveals the reason for the “resounding fall” against Brighton
Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp blamed a "lack of organization" for his team's modest 3-0 defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Premier League on Saturday. "The players themselves have already played amazing matches, but if we don't play organized, we can appear like this," Klopp told the BBC, referring to his growing concern about the team's decline.
The German coach added: "How can I not feel anxious after such a match? I cannot stand here and say that I am not worried. Of course we are very concerned." Winger Solly March scored two early goals in the second half and set up another, to give Brighton a 3-0 victory over his humble guest, Liverpool, and advance above him to seventh place in the league standings.
This is Brighton's first victory over Liverpool in the League of Lights, and it came well deserved after Marsh led the team to translate his control into goals. Marsh scored from close range in the 47th minute, after Liverpool lost the ball in the middle of the field, and the Japanese Kaoru Mitoma launched on the left before passing the ball to his colleague.
And 6 minutes later, the 28-year-old added the second goal when he received Ivan Ferguson's pass with a wonderful shot into the far corner of Alisson Becker, Liverpool goalkeeper.
And in his first participation in the starting line-up in the league since his move from PSV Eindhoven last month, Cody Gakbo did not do much in the ranks of Liverpool, who struggled to possess the ball or create any real chances to score. Liverpool hit only two balls on goal over the course of 90 minutes, and waited until the second-half stoppage time to get the first corner kick in another mediocre performance.
Marsh capped off his fine performance when he flicked the ball to substitute Danny Welbeck, who lifted it over the defender and fired home for his first league goal of the season. Brighton advanced to seventh place and has 30 points, two points ahead of Liverpool, who continued to suffer with injuries and declined in level.
