Liverpool have looked at their backdrops from their Champions League loss to Napoli and are hunting to find consistency in their performances again if they are willing to beat Ajax Amsterdam in their second group game, Boss Juergen Klopp said on Monday.

Klopp has claimed that the 4-1 loss at Napoli last week was the “worst game we played since I was here”, adding that analyzing the match was almost to watching a “horror film” with at least eight players playing below their natural game. “We had a meeting, showed them the situations and I didn’t have to say a lot, the players know. We brought ourselves to this situation,” Klopp told reporters ahead of Tuesday’s game at home. “We had obvious football problems which were from misjudgments. Everyone wanted to sort it by themselves, there was no structure.

“We had four or five days now of absolute truth, not to knock the players down, just to make sure where we are now. This is the starting point for us to sort the problems together on the pitch, no pointing at each other.” added the Liverpool manager.

“The expected return date is somewhere in October,” Klopp said. “With Ox it’s the same. That’s why the two boys are not in the Champions League squad.”

Moreover, Ajax are on a roll as they have won all their previous matches this season and with this the German was all praises for them.

“Ajax are in the Champions League, and they belong there. Are they the strongest team in the competition? I haven’t seen the rest yet; we have to show a reaction but that doesn’t guarantee a result against Ajax. They’ve won all their games this season, they’ve had a massive rebuild but they’re doing a really good job.

“We have not been consistent enough this season and we have to show that again. And that always starts with defending better.” concluded the Jurgen Klopp.

The much awaited summer transfer window is almost at the end with its wrapping up on Thursday with the English Premier League clubs still very active in the market despite already spending $2 billion on new players.

Already on the verge on the end days, Brazil Winger Antony has joined Manchester United from Ajax for a whopping amount of $95 million to take the club’s own spending in this window at a amount of $240 million.

Major clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool are likely to have made last-day purchases to remove gaps in their squads while Nottingham Forest might even make it to a record 20 signings since returning to the league.

West London club Chelsea is the biggest spender in Europe with this window after total expenditures of about $265 million which has further has been linked with a move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who joined Barcelona from Arsenal just back in February.

Erik ten Hag has his final eye on goalkeeper, Martin Dubravka from Newcastle United as a back up for David De Gea. The future of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has been a huge question of concern since the last season, he made a sign to move out as Man United were not a part of Champions League.

The Premier League also has made huge global broadcasting deals worth about 10 billion pounds over three seasons. With this the rest of Europe just cannot compete at any level, with the total spending in Spain, Italy, Germany and France far inferior to that of England.

That is the demand for the manager and also for the team.” said ten Hag on the dropping of CR7 and Englishman Maguire.
