Jurgen Klopp has described his team's 4-1 Champions League defeat against Napoli in their Group A opener as “the worst game” of his Liverpool reign.
The German is looking for a reaction from his players when they take on Dutch side Ajax at Anfield on Tuesday as they look to get their European campaign up and running.
Last season's beaten finalists could not have started their new campaign in worse fashion as they found themselves 3-0 down at half-time in an opening 45 minutes that also saw goalkeeper Alisson Becker save a penalty. “I watched the game back plenty of times and it was a real horror show to be honest.
It was the worst game we played since I was here,” Klopp said of the heavy defeat in Italy. “Eight out of 11 were below their level and the three others were not on a top level, just a normal game. “I have to do something, I can’t sit there and wait for how we react.
