JAKARTA - Liverpool had to settle for an unsatisfactory result against Arsenal in the 2021/2022 English League Cup. This is clearly a crushing blow for the Reds, who played in public alone and faced 10 Gunners players.

In that match, Liverpool did not lose because the match ended in a 0-0 draw. But based on statistics, Jurgen Klopp's men who could dominate the game for 90 minutes failed to score.

A number of speculations arose by saying that Klopp could not do anything without his mainstay players, Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane. Because when this match took place, the two players were playing for their respective countries in the 2022 African Nations Cup event.

Reporting from the club's official website, Klopp said that he did miss the 2 foster children.

"Did we miss them (Salah and Mane)? Yes. But I liked especially the start of yesterday's game," he said.

Furthermore, Klopp denied that his team was very dependent on these two names. The reason is, every match they have gone through there are also heavy obstacles and different situations in each match.

"With Sadio and Mo, we've had some difficulties before," he said.

Klopp will now look for a new formula for his team, so as not to rely too much on the services of Mo Salah and Sadio Mane, especially up front. He wants a coating that has similar capabilities with the two names.

"So it's not about who isn't in the team, it's about how we can perform better against the team that played last night, for example."
