JAKARTA - Juergen Klopp revealed that Alison Bekcer felt great disappointment over the two blunders he made when Liverpool was beaten by Manchester City 1-4 in the Premier League at Anfield, Sunday local time (Monday WIB).

Liverpool was in momentum after Mohamed Salah's penalty leveled 1-1, but Alisson made two consecutive cross-ball blunders which converted to Ilkay Gundogan's second and another from Raheem Sterling.

Alisson, who was already beaten, could do little when Phil Foden put on a scintillating individual action which ended with a sharp strike to seal City's 4-1 win.

"I spoke to him a few seconds ago, of course, he was disappointed and said 'Not today, not today'", Klopp said after the match, quoted by Antara from Liverpool's official website.

"Then I said, "Yes, that's the problem with a mistake, you can't determine when it happened", he added.

According to Klopp, there is nothing Alisson can do but learn from these mistakes and he is sure the Brazilian national team goalkeeper will do it so that something similar does not happen.

Despite admitting that the blunder happened at the wrong time, Klopp tried to defend that Alisson had been Liverpool's savior many times since being brought in from AS Roma.

"Tonight obviously had a big impact, but that's okay, he saved us who knows how many times", he said.

"He's a world-class goalkeeper and tonight everything went wrong and we have to accept and that's what we have to do", concluded Klopp.

The result against City made Liverpool for the first time since September 1963 swallow three successive defeats at Anfield.

With a collection of 40 points in fourth place or 10 points behind City who controlled the top along with a postponed match save, it seems that Liverpool should forget about the opportunity to defend the title.

Liverpool will then have the opportunity to rest for almost a full week before playing their 24th round tie at Leicester City headquarters on Saturday, February 13.
