Jurgen Klopp left frustrated with Liverpool's response in Southampton draw

Jurgen Klopp wanted more from his Liverpool players after conceding late on

JURGEN KLOPP was seemingly disappointed with Liverpool's response to Southampton's late equaliser in tonight's 1-1 draw at Anfield.

 

Liverpool took the lead in the 78th minute when substitute Christian Benteke met a precise delivery from captain James Milner with a towering header.

But Sadio Mane bundled the ball in from close range with four minutes left on the clock after the hosts failed to deal with a James Ward-Prowse free-kick.

And Klopp was disappointed to see his players' heads drop as there was plenty of time to grab a late winner.

"What I saw after the draw, maybe this is the problem," he said. "When they made their goal, they were all so disappointed, but it is football. It's normal.

"After this, I think we had nine or 10 minutes to play so there is another chance, but there was no belief any more in the eyes.

“Nobody was able to push or say something positive. The fans were very disappointed too in this moment.

“We are not calm enough. We have to accept things happen you don’t like in a football game, you have to remain cool.”
