Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fears a lack of quality could cost Manchester United a Champions League spot following a limp 1- 0 defeat at Bournemouth.
They arrived at the Vitality Stadium in form and searching for a fourth straight away win in just 10 days.
But their mini revival was abruptly ended after former United forward Joshua King settled the clash with a fine solo effort moments before half-time.
With just 11 games of the Premier League season played, the Reds are already playing catch up in the race for
next Sunday’s clash with Manchester City at Anfield but boss Klopp said: “We still have to learn and improve and sometimes you have to get knocks – and we got knocks.
“For little mistakes we got knocks but in the moment we could sort it.
“It’s not that we didn’t deserve to win, I’m f ine with the
a top-four finish. And Solskjaer, whose team have been reduced to Europa League football this term, has warned his players that they must dramatically improve if they are to return to Europe’s premier club competition.
He said: “It’s a test of character when you come down to places like this.
“At 1- 0 down at half-time at least we went for it. We didn’t stop trying but it was a lack of quality that cost us.”
“We need a response because you need to win games like this if you want to challenge for the top four.”
Elsewhere, Newcastle survived a late scare to win 3-2 at West Ham.
Steve Bruce’s side had cruised to a 3- 0 lead inside an hour thanks to goals from Ciaran Clark, Federico Fernandez and Jonjo Shelvey.
The Hammers fought back through Fabian Balbuena and Robert Snodgrass – but Newcastle held on to win.
Watford keeper Ben Foster was denied a stoppage-time equaliser as Chelsea hung on to win 2-1 at Vicarage Road and move into third in the table.
The ex-England international raced into the opposition area to get his head on a free-kick and forced a brilliant save from Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Chelsea only had to wait five minutes to open the scoring via Tammy Abraham before Christian Pulisic made it 2- 0 in 55 minutes.
Bottom dogs Watford, who are still searching for their first league win of the season, were handed a lifeline when Gerard Deulofeu tucked in a video assistant referee-awarded penalty. But they couldn’t find an equaliser.
