Jürgen Klopp reacts almost relieved to Liverpool’s first Premier League defeat in 422 days. The 0:3 in Watford animates not only Arsenal to a tweet. It’s not as if Jürgen Klopp hadn’t warned. “They’re really waiting for us, they want to fight us, the whole stadium will be on us,” Liverpool’s coach had said on Monday night about their upcoming opponents Watford. “We have to be 100 percent ready.” But who’s going to take that seriously?
After all, his side had just won their 18th league match in a row against West Ham (3-2), and that Watford, if I may say so, was penultimate and had not won in six of their qualifying matches. But then Liverpool did have something that they hadn’t had in 422 days in the Premier League on Saturday: a bad day.
