Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp blames the Reds metal fatigue for the loss against Brighton on Wednesday.
The Reds was beaten one goal to nil at Anfield few days after Burnley recently broke their home unbeaten, Klopp side was left disappointed as Liverpool are seven point behind league leader.
“For me the team looked, and it’s long ago since we looked like this, but we looked fatigued, mentally fatigued. That leads to not the best legs as well,” Klopp said.
“It was a tough week and today we were not fresh enough, and that means then not good enough to break the formation of Brighton.”
“We played against a really good opposition,” Klopp told BT Sport. “For us this week looked too tough, we were not fresh, we didn’t look mentally fresh. If you are mentally not fresh, your legs normally sort your problems, but tonight they didn’t.
“They have a good plan and they deserve to win, but of course we wanted to play better and more convincing than we did tonight.
“I know the guys can play a pass from A to B, but tonight B did not seem reachable in some moments. I don’t have a real explanation for it, other than we had a really tough week, twice going to London and coming here tonight.
“We didn’t create enough. They came through and we didn’t come through.”
