Liverpool are awaiting a scan on Mamadou Sakho’s knee injury to discover the extent of the damage, and the manager was disappointed with his side’s slow start and then lacklustre finish.

Dann scored the victor as Palace earned a third consecutive victory over Liverpool on Sunday, and while Pardew was delighted with his central defender, the manager lauded the “conscious decision” to tackle Liverpool head on after their midweek Europa League exertions.
If the two-month absence is confirmed then Sakho facing missing more than a dozen first-team matches. “I hope that we return better after the internationals with these important players available”, the Chilean added. “We decide how good we are, how awake we are, how exhausted we are, nobody else”, said Klopp. Between 82 and 94 minutes, you can score eight goals if you want but you have to work for it.
Not in an easy game, in the first minute when nobody will strike back.
“It’s not a problem to lose a game, that’s football, and it happens all the time”.
“Tonight it feels so bad because it was not necessary to lose that game tonight”.
“I don’t know. It’s too bad that he couldn’t play on, but we have to wait for the scan tomorrow evening, because it needs a little bit of time”.
“I thought it was a terrific game”, he said. “We have seen, particularly in the Premier League, plenty of late goals turn games”, Thompson told Sky Sports. “We have to learn that we are responsible and with 82 minutes gone, nobody can leave the stadium”.
After the global break, Liverpool travel to Manchester City (21/11) and host Bordeaux (26/11) and Swansea City (29/11) before November is out.

Sakho left Anfield on crutches at the weekend and was seen using them again in midweek as he met consultants, and it is claimed that the 25-year-old will be sidelined for six to eight weeks.
