We have to manage a clean sheet which has been a bit more difficult recently, and plus we have Adrián in goal with Allison Becker out — that’s why the midfield is where this round will be won or lost. ATLÉTICO MADRID. Atletico Madrid's players are angry after Jurgen Klopp accused them of play-acting and trying to get Sadio Mane sent off in Liverpool's 1-0 defeat … Liverpool face a crucial decision this summer about how they strengthen their attack for next season. Jürgen Klopp was in absolutely no mood to be gracious in defeat after Liverpool's Champions League exit at the hands of Atlético Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday night. Wide forward? Media watch: Liverpool could sign ideal Gini Wijnaldum replacement for £25m, Liverpool must not fall into Manchester United's David de Gea trap. Three key battles which would have emerged from Man Utd vs Liverpool. Our American Liverpool fans' jury discusses Roberto Firmino's Anfield drought, improvements against Bournemouth, and the tactical approach in midfield against Atlético Madrid. Media watch: AS Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini emerges as a possible Gini Wijnaldum replacement, while Conor Coady Speaks to Jamie Carragher about his comical dive at Anfield earlier this season. But a major part of Klopp's appeal as a manager is his brutal honesty and tendency wear his emotions on his sleeve, rather than just say what he knows people would want to hear. That being said, we can’t really afford to do that right now because he is the type of player that could start clicking again at any moment when we really need it. With the rescheduled Africa Cup of Nations taking place in the middle of next season, Liverpool must already begin planning around it. Andy Robertson’s creative drop-off raises Liverpool transfer question. Liverpool need the best version of Andy Robertson to return next season, but in order to do so they can't afford to run him into the ground again. James Drueckhammer :  It’s actually hard to get too excited about improvements from the weekend because it honestly wasn’t a great performance overall — definitely not as strong as we were against West Ham, even with the few defensive lapses that match had. KA : I think a lot of the positives can partially be attributed to a poor Bournemouth side as well. Three key battles which would have emerged from Man Utd vs Liverpool. As impressive as Liverpool were on the night, they lacked ruthlessness in their finishing despite creating a glut of chances, while their tepid performance and failure to score an away goal at the Wanda Metropolitano was always going to make life difficult. James Milner and Adam Lallana could make the difference for Liverpool against Atlético Madrid, according to our US fans' jury. With that being said, throughout his time in red he’s had a few production slumps and we just are in the middle of one of those. KA : I think Milner or even Adam Lallana in midfield is a change would make perfect sense, especially seeing how Fabinho is continuing to struggle leading up to Wednesday’s match. The slump persists despite Firmino averaging both more shots per 90 minutes and more touches inside the box at Anfield compared to on the road. Kevin A. : Another improvement I noted was the forwards seemingly having more ability to get involved than they have been lately. Or someone who can play any position across the forward line? All that is wrong with a Man City vs Chelsea Champions League final. 59 Jürgen Klopp admitted he substituted Sadio Mané during Liverpool’s Champions League defeat at Atlético Madrid for fear the Senegal forward … Media watch: Liverpool could sign ideal Gini Wijnaldum replacement for £25m, Liverpool must not fall into Manchester United's David de Gea trap. JD : The fact is that Bobby has been one of the most important players in our XI time and time again throughout the past 11 months, even without scoring at Anfield. JD : I don’t doubt his ability to deliver when Liverpool need him to, but his role is much more important than simply scoring. Firmino is great at many things, but I don’t think we want him playing that Andrea Pirlo-type role — at least not if we want him to score. To some extent, though, both he and Salah have the tendency to be streaky when it comes to goal-scoring, so I’m not worried that he won’t have a sudden run of better form soon enough. Liverpool need the best version of Andy Robertson to return next season, but in order to do so they can't afford to run him into the ground again. Diogo Jota has been hit with a silent Liverpool reminder. I think it’s partially due to him dropping back like Kevin mentioned and partially because he’s played over 2,900 minutes across the Premier League and Champions League this season. I wouldn’t sit him against Atleti or the Merseyside Derby, but he could use a rest in the weeks following. Wake up with Liverpool.com: Manchester City versus Chelsea in a Champions League final sounds hellish to many Liverpool supporters, but in Boston there will also be a sense of resignation. That being said, however, he is a great keeper to have as a back-up and has filled in very well when he’s called upon. Start Milner! even if the club fail to qualify for European football next season, according to his agent Marc Kosicke Jürgen Klopp le sait, Liverpool a encaissé trop de buts contre l'Atlético de Madrid en 8e de finale retour de la Ligue des Champions (défaite 3-2), ce qui a coûté la qualification aux Reds.

The passing between the front was way off the mark at times, even somewhat on Sadio Mané’s assist for Mohamed Salah, but it at least looked like they managed to get more of the ball and create opportunities. There have been a number of times it looks like Adrián and the backs can’t decide who is going to go play the ball. Liverpool set for Mohamed Salah blow which heavily impacts summer transfer plans. Following a mixed performance against Bournemouth, how confident are you with Adrián in net? What was the most notable improvement you saw made by the Reds side compared to their preceding four games? (Image: Photo by Max Maiwald/DeFodi Images via Getty Images). This time around they have to not only do everything in their power defensively to maintain a clean sheet, but also have to be aggressive and creative enough to put two past what is likely to be a defensively-stacked Atlético side. Rearranged Manchester United fixture hands Liverpool another crucial Champions League blow. Jürgen Klopp and Andy Robertson held a press conference on Tuesday ahead of Liverpool's Champions League last-16 encounter with Atletico Madrid. He hasn’t been able to tee up opportunities for his teammates as often recently either. I trust the full-backs and forwards to work opposite field angles and long drives to conjure up a goal or two at Anfield, but having to put three past Atlético if we concede an away-goal to them is a much more difficult task. Your information will be used in accordance with our, Spare us the idea of a Diego Simeone master class, Atlético Madrid were just lucky, Liverpool's midfield dynamo produced one of his best performances to justify Jürgen Klopp's faith, Liverpool's £32.5m transfer mistake set for surprise Premier League revival. Something went wrong, please try again later. Liverpool could sign ideal Gini Wijnaldum replacement by activating midfielder's £25m release clause. Jürgen Klopp est mieux placé que quiconque pour en témoigner. As part of that goal, our US jury column is published once per week, focusing on the latest Liverpool talking points and what members of Stateside Liverpool supporters clubs make of them. Jurgen Klopp has admitted the mistake made by Adrian cost Liverpool, but refused to blame the goalkeeper for their Champions League exit. The holders visit Estadio Metropolitano for the first leg of their last-16 clash with Diego Simeone’s team, and the boss is prepared for a testing evening in the Spanish capital. As the midfield has been failing to progress the ball as much, he’s been dropping back farther from the attack to receive the ball and to try to help move it to the other forwards. Are you worried that Atléti may take advantage of that in a game where limiting opposing shots is critical? The game didn't go ahead, but it didn't stop the team news being released, and there was some tantilising key battles which could have defined the encounter which remain keeping an eye out for. Liverpool could sign ideal Gini Wijnaldum replacement by activating midfielder's £25m release clause. After suffering through a rough couple of weeks, Liverpool fans were given something to cheer about with a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth. Wide forward? They could play proper football but they stand deep and have counter-attacks. Having them there to control the counter from Atléti will be the biggest challenge. Bournemouth’s goal definitely looked like Joe Gomez had been fouled in the build-up, and having Milner and van Dijk both helping the back four maintain composure after that was a huge factor in ultimately being successful. Liverpool have a kryptonite in Europe, and Jürgen Klopp needs to find a fix or risk falling short Players, though, should maintain their focus on the bigger picture until things are settled for certain, which is the exact opposite of what Atlético did. Their goal in the first leg was on a ball we lost inside the box, so I have no doubt they will try again especially with Adrián in the net punching far more than he catches. He'd just seen his team deliver one of their most complete performances of the season to pummel Diego Simeone's side relentlessly, only for it all to fall apart in spectacular fashion after an individual error out of nowhere changed everything in an instant. On the one hand, it sounds like sour grapes to take a dig at Atlético's style of play after they beat Liverpool in both legs of the tie, rather than reflecting on why his own team ultimately didn't do enough to get the job done. To me, he is almost Simon Mignolet-esque in the sense that he can stop shots fairly well, but sometimes he leaves you scratching your head trying to figure out his thought process, like whether or not to come out for the ball. Jurgen Klopp warns Atletico Madrid that Anfield will be an intimidating venue after Liverpool suffer a 1-0 loss in their Champions League last-16 first leg tie. Atlético’s 1-0 victory over Granada at the weekend eased some of the pressure on Diego Simeone but little to dispel fears among Rojiblanco fans that Liverpool … That being said, the goals he has managed to score this season have more often than not been critical ones, either tying games or winning them for the Reds. JD : I agree on his capability, but the communication between him and the back line definitely leaves more to be desired. EG : It is somewhat difficult to compare the two matches because Wednesday’s will have a completely different direction or focus for the Reds than they might have had going into the match at the Wanda. Roberto Firmino has drawn an increasing amount of judgement as his scoreless drought at Anfield continues, having last scored at home on 17 April 2019 in the Champions League quarter-final tie.

With Champions League qualification looking increasingly doubtful this season, Liverpool must look for some positives from Europe's second-string competition. Andy Robertson’s creative drop-off raises Liverpool transfer question. Erin Grugan : It does feel like with each improvement there’s a lingering issue beside it. KA : Without a doubt it’s fair to say that his finishing has been pretty poor recently; anyone who watched the Bournemouth match would see that. Liverpool play Atlético Madrid in the last-16 first leg in Spain and Jürgen Klopp says his side’s opponents ‘look like a proper machine’ I realise I am a really bad loser, especially when the boys put such an effort in against world-class players on the other side who defend with two rows of four.". For the defense, they looked a lot more fortified in that they weren’t getting caught off on the high line and having to chase attackers, but they still looked a bit shaky together to cleanly clear the ball, with Adrián included. EG : One of the most common criticisms of Adrián’s recent performance has been his aversion to catching the ball, opting rather to more often punch or push it away even when securing the ball is possible and much more safe. James Milner had that brilliant goalline save, of course, but he also worked alongside Virgil van Dijk to keep the back four in their shape throughout the game which has been a recurring issue recently. His annoyance at seeing his team undone in such harsh circumstances echoed the sentiments of Liverpool fans, and rather than manufacture a textbook platitude for the cameras, he said exactly what he thought at the time.

Jürgen Klopp admitted the fact he's a bad loser after Liverpool's defeat to Atlético Madrid. I think that is partially just due to a lack of familiarity since it has been quite a while since his impressive run at the beginning of the season. Other than that, I think James was right that the defense was the biggest turnaround. KA : It’s hard to analyze Adrián as a Reds fan because his career with us started off with such heroics when Allison went out. It comes down to the fact Klopp shares a mentality supporters can directly relate to, because he is ultimately a diehard lover of football, too – albeit, one with a much deeper and more sophisticated understanding of the game than most. They need all of the experience and composure they can get in the midfield to provide leadership on the attack but more importantly, defensively. Do you think criticism of the Brazilian is justified?

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says the Champions League last-16 loss to Atletico Madrid "doesn't feel right" and criticises the La Liga side's style of football. The Reds' goalkeeper has been in excellent shot-stopping form in recent matches, but becoming over-reliant on such an attribute is something United have been guilty of. Gerrard, Souness and the history lesson which won't be repeated. A mix of bad luck with touches being slightly off has seen a number of Bobby’s open opportunities throughout the season veering just to the side of the goal or simply not having the power to find the back of the net. Kevin mentioned the forwards getting more involved, but that passing was definitely out of sync compared to the nearly-clinical level of passing Liverpool is capable of. Jurgen Klopp is "absolutely" dedicated to Liverpool. KA : The balance is going to be absolutely critical. All that is wrong with a Man City vs Chelsea Champions League final.

He does so much for the attack that his play cannot be judged on goals alone. It’s also important that Salah and Mané are on the level they were against Bournemouth as the side’s relentless attackers rather than the subdued front they have been otherwise recently. Harvey Elliott and Joe Gomez could be set to benefit from Liverpool’s Champions League failure. There was also some truth in his words, even if borne out of immense frustration, because Atlético are by no means easy on the eye (to put it kindly), and have a number of technically gifted individuals who could surely offer so much more in a more expansive system.
