The main cause of Liverpool’s dreadful week was emerged 

Liverpool has dropped points in the Premier League championship chase and is headed for an exit from the Europa League quarterfinals after losing twice and drawing once in the previous eight days.

After a 2-2 draw with Manchester United on Sunday, Jurgen Klopp’s team lost badly, 3-0, to Atalanta in the first leg of their Europa League quarterfinal match.

Then, on Sunday afternoon, Crystal Palace’s goal from Eberechi Eze was sufficient to give them a thrilling 1-0 victory over Liverpool.

Liverpool now sits third in the Premier League standings and needs to overcome a three-goal deficit to advance to the next round of the European Cup.

The Reds’ finishing in front of goal was a major concern against Man United and Crystal Palace, and it was also a problem against Atalanta.

The main issue facing Liverpool
Liverpool has amassed 9.14 xG in their last three games, but they have only managed three goals. Their poor finishing may have cost them two trophies.

Liverpool’s lack of creativity over the previous week has been unexpected given the abundance of great forwards they have on their roster, but this little error might have put an end to the Reds’ hopes of winning the Premier League and Europa League during Klopp’s farewell tour.

Although Liverpool had a number of excellent chances to put the game out of sight in the second half, Palace deserves praise for their heroic last-ditch defending at Anfield. But in their pursuit of their second Premier League title ever, they lost three crucial points due to their wastefulness in front of goal.

It’s interesting to note that Liverpool lost its first two games at Anfield—against Atalanta and Crystal Palace—to teams that employed the 3-4-2-1 formation. Liverpool was just too simple to play through in both games, and Atalanta and Crystal Palace revelled in launching quick assaults.

Liverpool has had an incredible season thus far, but their terrible finishing is a major problem, and their two losses against teams who use a back three raise tactical concerns. They might even lose out on this campaign’s quest for cutlery as a result.

Transfers from Liverpool: 32-year-old getting ready to quit Reds while awaiting a medical

An eight-year team veteran is expected to leave Liverpool during the summer transfer window. His only separation from an exit is a medical.

Joel Matip has been offered to Fenerbahce by his agents, according to Turkish publication Sabah. The defender’s contract expires at the end of the current campaign, and this rumour claims Liverpool will not extend it.

Fenerbahce is interested in signing him, which creates an opening. But before any settlement is made, there’s a clear standoff.

Matip is not likely to play again this season after suffering an ACL tear months ago. He should be back to normal by June, but nobody can promise that until they have a medical report.

Fenerbahce will therefore have to wait for the findings of a report before making a formal bid for Matip. Everything else depends on his fitness, even if it is commonly anticipated that he will depart Liverpool at the end of his contract.

Joel Matip is headed out of Liverpool.

Matip is leaving with a heavy heart, and it’s completely unwarranted. Given his advanced age and the uncertainty surrounding his long-term fitness, we do believe he will depart, but things really shouldn’t be this way.

Being one of Jurgen Klopp’s first signings and coming on a free transfer, Matip has been an amazing helper. Fewer signings have been better, and perhaps none better financially.

However, the manager’s change solidifies the departure. We’re not sure if Matip needs to sign a new contract on such harsh terms, but we wonder what would happen if he did.

If Matip can demonstrate his fitness, many teams will be willing to take a chance on him because of his excellent calibre throughout the previous eight seasons. He should be able to make a wise move, and hopefully he will
