Despite their first league loss at Old Trafford since March 2018, Klopp hailed his team’s performance, saying that after Jadon Sancho’s 16th-minute goal, Liverpool “played the game we wanted to play.”
“I saw a good performance,” said Klopp. “If we score the equaliser at any time it is not the biggest surprise. We could have won the game tonight if we had played slightly better.”
Klopp told Sky Sports: “They were really aggressive in the beginning, it was absolutely clear what would happen.
“Reality shows if we are really ready, and in the beginning they were more aggressive than us, they hit the post and it was a hectic game.
“Then they scored the goal, and we took over, and played the game we wanted to play, more or less.

“Conceding the second one doesn’t help, and then we score ours and then it’s a hectic game with a lot of interruptions – and not the result we wanted.

“Maybe they were [sharper], that’s not right of course but when we calmed down we were there. We had an extreme number of shots for an away game at United, we should use more of these moments if we do that.
“Even with our situation, but playing a little bit better, if we were a little more convinced about what we do we should’ve won this game. I know it sounds ridiculous, but that’s how I see it.”
