‘We lost our minds’, Klopp fumes as Liverpool flop against Watford
Goalkeeper Bogdan’s blunder and more calamitous defending allow Hornets to sweep to a 3-0 English Premier League victory – their first home win over the Reds in 29 years
Adam Bogdan’s embarrassing blunder cost lacklustre Liverpool dearly as Watford swept to a 3-0 English Premier league success on Sunday that gave them their first home win over the Reds for 29 years.
Juergen Klopp’s side had only themselves to blame for the chastening loss at Vicarage Road and Hungarian goalkeeper Bogdan was the chief culprit after dropping a routine corner that Nathan Ake converted for Watford’s early opener.

More calamitous defending, this time from Martin Skrtel, allowed Odion Ighalo to double Watford’s lead and the Nigeria forward completed Liverpool’s misery with his second late on.
Liverpool’s performance was comically bad at times and ranked as the heaviest loss of Klopp’s two months in charge.
Klopp accused his Liverpool flops of losing their minds.
“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.
