Jurgen Klopp said after the game that Alexis Mac Allister, one of several Liverpool players who battled in the first half against Wolves, felt “relief” when he was replaced.
Mac Allister had a demanding schedule before the team’s trip to Wolves since he played for Argentina against Bolivia on Tuesday night in a high-altitude match.
The Argentine struggled for the opening 45 minutes of what was a challenging start to the game for the Reds after receiving an early caution.
Following his international obligations, Klopp acknowledged that the midfielder was playing with “low energy” and that the 24-year-old felt “relief” rather than sadness when he was removed from the game.
The first half was so poor that I didn’t think we could play the second half like that, which was a good thing, the manager said in jest.
We clearly desired to begin entirely differently, but as you can see, the lads were unable to do so for whatever reason.
Cody Gakpo, Andy Robertson, and a late deflection Harvey Elliott shot were all enough to give Liverpool the victory after the break.
Although Klopp acknowledged that he wouldn’t like to witness such diametrically opposed halves every week, he called the victory “massive” for his team.
Although Wolves were also very good, I believed we played poorly in the first half. That is the truth, then. They played “They caused us so many problems, especially in one-on-one situations with Neto, which we shouldn’t have allowed to happen, but we were unable to close the gaps.” incredibly well. enormous, enormous three points in the end.
