Jamie Carragher has said that Jurgen Klopp should forget about the Europa League and prioritise the Premier League title race
The Reds were the favourites to win the tournament, but that may now have changed
Goals from Gianluca Scamacca and Mario Pasalic meant it was a night to forget for Liverpool at Anfield as they fell to a 3-0 loss in the first leg of the Europa League
It leaves the team with a mountain to climb when they visit Italy in the return leg next week.
Concentration turns back to Premier League matters for Liverpool at the weekend.
The Reds welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield on Sunday afternoon (2pm kick-off),
It’s the closeness of the title race added with the challenge ahead of the team in the second leg, that has led to Carragher believing that Klopp should make a decision ahead of the trip to Italy
Carra
“Awful result & performance from Liverpool,”
“The only consolation about getting beat so heavily is Jurgen should play a full second string in the second leg & go all in for the league!”
Following next week’s second leg in Italy, Liverpool take on Fulham at Craven Cottage three days later.
They are quickly back in action as they face Everton in the Merseyside derby just three days after that
