Jurgen Klopp said Liverpool feel “really rubbish” after their Premier League title chances were dealt a blow with a 1-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace.

The Reds missed a host of gilt-edged chances at Anfield as Eberechi Eze’s early goal earned Palace all three points and handed Arsenal and Manchester City a boost in their respective title charges.

Klopp, whose side lost 3-0 at home to Atalanta in the Europa League on Thursday, now faces an uphill battle to win any further silverware before departing after nine years as manager in the summer.

“We had bigger chances than Curtis Jones’s chance”, he said. “We have the Darwin [Nunez] chance. He hits the ball full throttle — if he mishits it slightly there’s no chance for the goalkeeper.

“Similar with Diogo Jota. Mohamed Salah’s chance, it hits the Palace player on the line. That’s just horrendous, but we didn’t score there.”

The German added: “We had other moments and are only really talking about the massive chances. That’s how it is.

“We feel really rubbish and need now a bit of time to process that. It’s a really bad moment. It’s the second home game in a row we lose and we are not used to that. We have to see how we react. We have to work on that.

“We will do that, of course, but I cannot say now that’s the starting point for the rest of the season. It doesn’t feel like it at this moment.”
