Prior to the game against Leicester City, it was understood that Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp had warned his players to avoid complacency.

He also made it clear that as at this point, mistakes were not allowed for his team. Yet, his boys failed to live up to expectation.

Highlights on the game

One thing Liverpool players were known for is following their managers rules to the core. However, against Leicester the reverse proved to be the case.

On the night, Jurgen Klopp's men needed composure and purpose. But sadly, they lacked all the much-needed qualities and ended up losers.

Mohammed Salah's missed penalty

Another event that proved Liverpool were just not at it on the night was a missed penalty from Salah. More often than not, we see Salah produce something even when Liverpool naturally lacked direction.

Yet, against Leicester, the savior himself lacked direction. The penalty was an easy opportunity to secure an equaliser.

What next for Liverpool?

The Anfield giants come against Chelsea next, in the absence of all their African heroes. It is a game Jurgen Klopp would have loved to avoid by this time of the season.

Nonetheless, there is no turning back.

Summary

With their current form, there is a high probability Jurgen Klopp's men may be 12 points behind City after playing Chelsea.

However, we keep our fingers crossed and see how events pan out.
