The opposition will be laughing at the team after they were thrashed by Napoli in the first game of the group stage.

The first half was dominated by the Reds and they were down by three at the break.

You can watch LaLiga, Bundesliga, MLS, more on the US version of the network.

Alisson saved the penalty that Victor Osimhen was going to take. Two minutes into the second half, a fourth goal was scored by the Italians.

Bruno Lage's team would have enjoyed their humiliation in Europe, according to the manager of the Reds.

"It looks like we have to change ourselves," he said in his post match interview. The fun part is that we have to do that in the middle of the season.

If they watched the game tonight, they will probably laugh all the way to the end. They think it's a good time to play. It's a perfect time. We need to find a set-up that is better in a lot of things.

"Anything wrong with my team is obvious, but why it happened is something I can't say at the moment," said the coach. It is difficult to take, but I have to do it.

It's really a lot of things lacking, not in all games but now, so we have to change ourselves. It's fun because we have to do it in the middle of a league and a tournament.

We need to find a set-up that is better in a lot of things.

The Reds lost to Manchester United in the premier league and were also beaten by other teams.

In the heat of southern Italy, the Reds produced their worst performance of the season.

It's not that hard to explain when you watch the game, according to Klopp. The first explanation for the defeat is that we didn't play well.

They scored one penalty and missed another, but the next two goals were served on a plate. We weren't defensive or offensive. We were too wide until Thiago entered.

Jamie Carragher was a critic of the approach of the team during the game. It's definitely true.

This is the biggest problem with the club right now.
