Actions invariably converse louder than phrases in soccer, so Liverpool followers might be forgiven for remaining a tad cynical a couple of ‘response’ being produced until they see it for themselves on the pitch on Sunday.
You’d wish to suppose that the efficiency towards Atalanta was so insipid that it’ll present the proverbial kick up the bottom for Klopp and his squad to boost their ranges significantly in the event that they’re to beat Palace and preserve their Premier League title problem on monitor.
The excellent news for the Reds is that they’ve but to lose consecutive video games this season, which means that every time they fall to defeat, there may be certainly an acceptable response within the subsequent fixture for example that it was merely a blip somewhat than the beginning of a descent into a protracted trough.
Instantly earlier than dealing with the Eagles at Anfield within the 2019/20 marketing campaign, Liverpool laboured to a goalless draw away to Everton. Three days later, they responded by thumping the south Londoners 4-0 with an emphatic efficiency.
