Nature of loss will worry Jurgen Klopp deeply

Liverpool looked a shadow of their usual selves at Old Trafford last night. 

SHOCK: Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag on the touchline.

This was supposed to be the night when Liverpool re-established their title credentials, cruised to their first win of the season and sent bitter rivals Manchester United crashing deeper into crisis. Early days and all that, but just 90 minutes later and it looks like Merseyside is where emergency surgery is most urgently required.

The nature of Liverpool's humiliation – their first Premier League defeat in all of 2022 - was as embarrassing as it was unexpected. This is a fixture they simply do not lose these days.
