Jurgen Klopp lost 1 2 in a humiliating battle, with an embarrassing 4 shots on goal, and Gakpo had a disastrous performance
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool suffered humiliation in the sixth round of the Europa League, where they were beaten 2-1 by Union Saint-Gilloise. The result of this battle was unexpected, especially Gakpo's disastrous play, which attracted everyone's attention. It is worth mentioning that this game will not put much pressure on Liverpool.
Liverpool have already had good results in their previous Europa League, winning four of their five games and already securing top spot in the group. By the time they faced Saint-Gilloise in the first round, Liverpool had already scored twice. However, this time, Liverpool lost to their team and they were beaten badly by their defence.
Liverpool made a lot of personnel changes in the squad for this game, and they discharged 433. Gordon, Gakpo, and Ben-Dock formed an attacking triangle, and Jones, Endo, and Elliott formed a three-man formation. Luke Chambers, Bradley, Ibratt, Kwanza started the four, and Kelleher sat in the starting position. Although the Reds dominated the pitch from the start, they struggled to provide enough chances for the team to open the scoring and were instead seized by Saint-Gilloise United.
Although Quaanza's goal equalised Liverpool in the first half, it was their last. In contrast, Union Saint-Gilloise had eight shots and four in the half, and also scored two goals. Liverpool led 2-1 at half-time. Jurgen Klopp made plenty of substitutions in the second half, but there was still no significant improvement in the team's attack. In the end, Liverpool ended in defeat in a 1-2 draw.
The statistics show that Liverpool have only played four kicks, which is a huge shame for a big club. Especially Gakpo, who had only one shot into the net in the whole game. It's a shame to behave like that.
