Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool will not win the Premier League if they play as badly as they did in the first half of their damaging defeat to Crystal Palace.
Eberechi Eze scored in the first period to consign Liverpool to their second home defeat in four days
Klopp says they will not overhaul Manchester City and Arsenal playing like that.

“If we play like we did in the first half, why should we win the league?”
“If you play like we did in the second half, we can win football games. So if we can win football games, then we will see how many we can win.
“We have to be around when the other guys struggle, if they struggle. Criticism in these moments is completely fine and absolutely right
“It’s all about how we deal with it and in the first half we didn’t do particularly well with the situation.

“But in the second half, we pulled ourselves together and should have won the game.”
Liverpool have failed to score in their last two losses despite registering 40 goal attempts
Andy Robertson bemoaned their wastefulness.

“It’s been the story of the last few games and that’s why we’ve been punished in these games,”
“It’s so frustrating today, so many chances. In the first half, I thought we were poor, but in the second half we had enough chances to win two or three games.”
