Liverpool fans furious with ‘laughable’ Jurgen Klopp decision during Europa League defeat to Atalanta
Liverpool supporters expressed their frustration on social media following the team’s elimination from the Europa League.
Despite securing a 1-0 victory away at Atalanta on Thursday, Liverpool exited the competition with a 3-1 aggregate loss, stemming from their defeat at Anfield last week.
Jurgen Klopp’s team appeared to be mounting a comeback when they scored early in Italy after just seven minutes.
Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool the lead from a penalty after an Atalanta defender’s handball in the area. However, Liverpool couldn’t add to their tally, and Atalanta effectively controlled the game in the second half.
Klopp made several substitutions in the second half to try to turn the tie around. However, it was his choice to retain a particular player on the field that left Liverpool fans feeling frustrated.
Liverpool fans expressed confusion and frustration on social media after midfielder Curtis Jones remained on the pitch despite an underwhelming performance, while key players like Salah, Luis Diaz, and Trent Alexander-Arnold were substituted off.
“Criminal that Curtis Jones has got to full time in this game,” wrote one fan on X.
Another added: “How has Curtis Jones stayed on this pitch?”
While a third wrote: “Klopp still leaves Curtis Jones on, absolutely laughable.”
Liverpool’s loss to Atalanta marks Jurgen Klopp’s final European match at the helm, as he prepares to depart the club after nine largely successful years.
With his attention now solely on the Premier League title race, Klopp aims to secure one last piece of silverware before his departure.
The Reds currently sit third in the table, two points behind defending champions Manchester City and level on points with Arsenal.
