Probably similar for Klopp and the players. A killer to go out of that the way we did to such a shocking United side. A sucker punch that we never made the count for in truth.
The psychological loss of that game seems to have been the catalyst for our form dropping off a cliff. We actually played some good football and probably deserved to progress. But losing the way we did, had a massive impact on the team. I’m still in shock.
