Jurgen Klopp has lamented Liverpool’s drop-off in their defeat to Arsenal.
Wednesday’s 2-1 reversal at the Emirates Stadium ensured that the Reds cannot match or overtake Manchester City’s record haul of 100 points.
The new Premier League champions conceded two first-half goals to the Gunners through defensive errors from Virgil van Dijk and Alisson.
And Klopp admits that his side’s lapse in concentration was a sour note in the capital during only their third defeat of the domestic campaign.
He said: “I’m disappointed and angry about a few things.
“The game was good and the attitude is good, but we took a break and that’s why we lost the game.
“If you make these types of mistakes you can’t win a football game in the Premier League, or you need to be really lucky.
“We started exceptionally well and I can’t remember such a dominant performance against Arsenal since I’ve been here.
“Scoring, and completely deserved, to go 1-0 up and then taking kind of a break – we’re all humans, maybe it was just misjudgment of the situation.”
