Liverpool were dumped out of the Europa League by Atalanta on Thursday night.
's side had looked like staging an unlikely comeback when they took the lead in Italy after just seven minutes.But after failing to find a second goal in the first half, they struggled to get going after the break and looked less threatening as the more wore on.
While Liverpool dominated possession, they were unable to create clear-cut chances in the second half and were eliminated from the competition having failed to put Atalanta under significant pressure.Liverpool fans were quick to voice their frustration with Klopp's tactics on social media. "All we did was play at the back. It was really frustrating and then trying to Hail Mary every opportunity we had. We didn't deserve to go through," wrote one fan on X."All thanks to Liverpool players playing back passes and Klopp poor football tactics, every time they pass the ball backward," added a second supporter.Klopp's side are currently third in the table, level on points with Arsenal and two behind defending champions Manchester City.
