On Thursday evening, Liverpool were eliminated from the Europa League by Atalanta.
After their team was ousted from the Europa League, Liverpool supporters took to social media to express their outrage.
Following their devastating loss at Anfield last week, Liverpool defeated Atalanta 1-0 away from home on Thursday night but was eliminated from the competition after losing 3-1 overall.
The fact that Jurgen Klopp’s team led in Italy after just seven minutes gave them the appearance of mounting an impossible comeback.
A handball in the area by an Atalanta defender gave Mohamed Salah the opportunity to put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot.
However, the home team was able to effectively control the game in the second half, and Liverpool were unable to get another goal.
Following the interval, Klopp made a number of alterations in an effort to alter the direction of the match.
But the thing that upset Liverpool supporters was his choice to leave a player on the field.
Despite putting on a lackluster performance, midfielder Curtis Jones was kept on the field as players like Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz, and Salah were substituted out.
Following the game, Liverpool fans took to social media to quickly express their confusion about the decision.
One fan on X commented, “Criminal that Curtis Jones has got to full time in this game.”
“How has Curtis Jones stayed on this pitch?” said another.
A third person commented, “Klopp still leaves Curtis Jones on, absolutely laughable.”
Liverpool’s final European game under manager Jurgen Klopp, who will leave the team in the summer after nine mainly successful years, is the loss to Atalanta.
His attention will now only be on the Premier League title fight, which is his last opportunity to add the trophies he earned at Anfield.
Liverpool is now tied with Arsenal for third place in the standings, two points behind the reigning champions, Manchester City.
