Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool’s coach said after the match that: “There is no way I can be happy with this match result. We are not in good luck today and the players are not clinical enough.” “We failed in a match we controlled the ball 80% of the time. I think this means that we have to varies our tactic to penetrate opponent’s defense.”

Klopp have been criticizing his team’s defense for the second time this season, as the team now have the record of not getting any goals in for 2 matches out of the past 13 matches they participate.
