Jurgen Klopp: Why Watford deserved to beat Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool deserved to lose at Vicarage Road

 

JURGEN KLOPP admits his Liverpool side deserved to lose against Watford this afternoon.

 

The Reds fell to a 3-0 defeat at Vicarage Road after Nathan Ake's early opener and a brace from in-form striker Odion Ighalo.

And Klopp believes the Hornets deserved all three points after Liverpool played how Watford wanted his side to play.

 

"Always in football it is like this, somebody makes a mistake and you get a goal but you have to react better," Klopp said.

"We didn’t play how we wanted to play. We played how they wanted us to play – in small spaces, we played very complicated, and we always gave them the chance to press.

"When we played it easy it was better, and we had our moments. The start of the second half was good and with a bit of luck we could have scored two goals. 

"But we didn’t score the goal and it was always possible one of the counters decides the game. It was a deserved win for Watford. Not because of our faults, but more our reaction to the our faults."
