Watford 3 Liverpool 0: Klopp fumes at Liverpool flops

Bad day at the office: Klopp reacts to Liverpool losing at Watford

Jurgen Klopp accused his Liverpool flops of losing their minds in Sunday's woeful 3-0 defeat against Watford.

Klopp's side slumped to the heaviest defeat of the German's two-month reign after goalkeeper Adam Bogdan's early error gifted Watford an opening goal in the Premier League clash at Vicarage Road.

Bogdan dropped a routine third minute corner and Nathan Ake poked home as the Hungarian tried to regain possession of the ball.

It was a horrendous mistake and Reds boss Klopp didn't excuse Bogdan from blame, although he felt it could have been a foul on the keeper as Ake virtually kicked it out of his hands.

However, Klopp was more concerned with Liverpool's lacklustre response to that early setback.

"It was a bad start to the game. Of course the first goal with Adam Bogdan, he should keep it and he drops it," Klopp said.

"It is his fault, but then both hands on the ball, that is the goalkeeper safe, he has the ball.

"I think the referee didn't see it. It was the wrong decision but we made more wrong decisions.

"Having seen it again usually it is a foul but our reaction was really bad.

"Always in football it is like this, somebody makes a mistake. You have to react better.

"We lost our minds and stopped playing football. The second goal was very easy, we can defend this better.

"The start to the second half was very good, we could have scored two goals, but we didn't and then the third goal. Yeah, game over."

Bogdan, who was only playing due to an injury to first-choice keeper Simon Mignolet, made no excuses for his howler.

"I dropped the first ball which is a mistake," he said.

"I hold my hands up, but I felt I recovered the ball and he kicked it out of my hands. But if I catch the first one it's not a goal.

"Something went wrong. I have to think about it again. It was a mistake and I will learn from it.

"I don't blame the referee or anyone else."
