Liverpool fans react as Diogo Jota returns in defeat against Chelsea

Liverpool slipped to a fifth home defeat in succession as they lost 1-0 to Chelsea at Anfield. Mason Mount’s first-half goal proving decisive and disastrous for the champions.

The Reds were second best for large parts of the contest and had to wait until four minutes from time to even register a shot on target.

Something isn’t quite right at Anfield and the challenge for Jurgen Klopp is to rediscover his team’s form – and quickly!

One positive did emerge from the contest with Diogo Jota stepping off the bench to make his comeback from injury.

The former Wolves forward has been a big miss for Liverpool and at least now Klopp can look forward to him starting games once again.

Prior to his injury, the 24-year-old scored nine goals in 18 games and has looked a smart addition by the club.

The £90,000-a-week player looked pretty good during his cameo appearance and the team’s front three will now need to watch their backs.

Jota will be chomping at the bit to start games and with results not going well, Klopp will be tempted into some changes.

Here is what Liverpool supporters were saying as the forward made his comeback from injury last night.
