Jurgen Klopp believes Liverpool need Arsenal and Manchester City to suffer a ‘crisis’ after a damaging derby defeat left their title hopes on the brink.
Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin gave Everton their first home win over their below-par rivals since 2010. The Liverpool manager suffered his first defeat at Goodison Park to remain three points behind Arsenal.
But the Gunners have a superior goal difference while - more importantly - Manchester City are just a point behind with two games in hand.
Klopp said: “You can read the table. We need a crisis at City and Arsenal and need to win football games. We are not safe in the Champions League as well so we should just play better football.”
Klopp admitted his side are in a “rush” in front of goal after they squandered chances to equalise after Branthwaite’s opener and dropped eight points in four games. But he apologised to the club’s fans for suffering just their second derby defeat in 14 years and insists they have to pick themselves up for Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off at West Ham.
Klopp said: “No good to be honest at all, very disappointed and frustrated, it was not good enough.
“It was not the most inspired performance of all time, I really feel for the people. We never lost here and it feels really different. I really apologise for that. We cannot change that but have to recover.
“Probably West Ham is waiting and rubbing their hands and hoping we come there on one leg, but I will try everything to make sure we are more ourselves.”
Everton are now potentially just one win from safety if results go their way after their third victory in four put them eight points clear of the bottom three. This was just their second derby win in 30 games.
Boss Sean Dyche said: “It’s not as satisfying as the last game of last season.
“It’s satisfying when you’ve been heavily questioned but it is a different kind of satisfaction, last season staying up was satisfaction.”

Jones cannot play in the middle of the Park with Mac and Slo. We slow the game down and Jones does panic passes. Salah looks like he has moved on already and Nunez is another panic button scorer. Our tech team can’t fix this?

I am an Arsenal fan and I love Jurgen Klopp. He is a great coach and a perfect gentleman! In as much as I want Arsenal to win the title, Liverpool players need to show him respect by playing good football in his last season. Currently, the players are disrespecting him.

I don’t even understand how did Liverpool that have been top of the table more than any club this season let the title race slight just like that. I’m really disappointed. I’m a strong Jurgen Klopp fan but I think truly is time to let go of him and bring in another manager that can introduce a different technique and style of play
i can tell against palace n everton was not their day..they should win both games with several great chance but thats football

Is hard to bear bro, just take heart but that is the difference between them and city, when you think Klop is doing wonders with less quality players only time will continue to expose it that the club need more quality players if they think they can win premier league over club like city coached by Pep

It is saddest moment for all Liverpool fans who had high hopes on the title and after the lost their heart must have sang like a sunken ship. Hopefully Klopp rectifies the problem. Good Luck Liverpool FC and the fans.

Even if arsenal lose against spurs nd city drop points vs Brighton still Liverpool will be in crisis rather than the other two...Liverpool title race is officially over...The last 4 matches we will have a maximum of 6 points out of 12...vs westham not sure, vs spurs nd villa at best a draw..maybe a consolation win in the last game against wolves...

Nunez is the mess. He is always in a rush. Salah is now Salad. His form has lost. He is confused.
