Coach Jurgen Klopp said that if striker Mohamed Salah had not missed the 11-meter penalty against Bournemouth, Liverpool’s fate might have been different.

“The last penalty Salah missed in the Premier League was when I don’t remember. It’s been a long time. It’s completely hypothetical, but I think if we convert it from 11 yards, we will. will take control of the match.

That doesn’t make Liverpool’s performance any better, but it could at least change the outcome. Salah has scored a lot of goals but he can miss a penalty. Such is life,” Klopp shared.

After having a “massacre” MU to 7-0 at Anfield in the Premier League last week, Liverpool are expected to collect another jubilant victory over a Bournemouth who is in the relegation group. The Reds controlled the ball to 70%, but could not penetrate the tight defense of the home team. Philip Billing’s only goal helped The Cherries to pocket 3 surprising points .

This result caused Liverpool to miss the opportunity to close to the Top 4, possibly even being surpassed by Newcastle if the Chicks overcame Wolves in the last match of the 27th round. At this time, Klopp’s army ranked 5th with 42 points, poor. the group to attend the Champions League next season 6 points.

“What can I say? We didn’t play well in this match,” added Klopp. “We dominated in the first half, and they (Bournemouth) had the counter-attack they wanted. I thought we had a chance, but we couldn’t capitalize it.

We don’t like to face teams that play deep behind with tight squads. Not easy to get over. So it’s the little things that make a big difference.”
