Klopp's Presser Comments

Some comments from the man himself

"Everything, all the English words, massive, massive punch in the face or whatever, it's my responsibility, that's the easy explanation. We had the ball a lot, created some and didn't finish the situations off. The wind chill factor deflated the balls, so we never had a chance to hit it cleanly. That keeps the game open and then they get the penalty - Alisson told me he didn't touch him, but I didn't see it back. It seems like the FA is backing a certain team for the title because these penalties don't make sense.

"It's wrong decisions in the moment, three crosses in the box, we tried to find a player, didn't because they aren't tall enough, it's my job to make sure the boys are in the right position, that they feel right and they drink their protein shake.

"It's a tough one, not easy to explain, These boys are not the kind of person after a 7-0 to think we'll go like this, they worked tonight hard and it didn't happen, if something doesn't work you have to try harder, more often, longer. It was not easy to lose that game and we did it.

"It's not about blaming, we have to sort it together and we will. In football you don't have a lot of time but I can say that the referee (Mike Dean) will need to look over the decisions he's made. We tried a lot, in some moments the right things and some not. That's the problem You have to break the wall down by trying, in the right mood. We had chances.

"We can't imagine the title race at the moment."

Some more comments:
"We lost the game which is pretty impossible given how bad Burnley is but we did it. That is not my fault. It is my job to make sure the boys have the right feelings and confidence but they're out here playing below expectations especially Trent (TAA). That didn't work out. We had the ball a lot and created some situations that are OK but our final decision is not right. I said the same thing last week. When something doesn't work you must try harder, longer and more often and make better decisions (TWSS). It didn't work tonight.

"It is always my fault. If I make clear which movements make sense because it will hurt the opponent and we don't do that then I need to make it clearer. It is not that they don't want. It is difficult to play against these low blocks and double pivots when they have a bunch of facilitators of the ball. It helps if you score the first goal but we didn't. That changes the opponent. After not scoring for a long time not everybody feels confident.

"I never thought of us as free scoring. I knew we had to work hard. It is not the first time or last time it will happen in football. We can only use this game to lose the next game. It is not because the players do not have the ability Our decision making is the problem. If we score in our big moments it changes things but we did not."
