What has the big man been saying?

I'm actually more intrigued to hear his views after that than I am after when we've won.

Jurgen Klopp has bemoaned Liverpool's failure to win 'dirty points' after his side suffered a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle at St. James' Park.

The Merseysiders have been in fine form away from home in recent weeks but produced a lacklustre display on Tyneside as they missed the chance to close the gap to the top-four to just three points.

Although the Reds dominated possession for long periods of the encounter their pressing game was not as energetic as we have come to expect from the German coach's side and their attack lacked fluidity.

Georginio Wijnaldum's two goals, one of which took a fortunate deflection off of Martin Skrtel, proved to be the difference between the two teams and Klopp conceded that the hosts deserved to win all three points

"Maybe we deserved a point, sometimes you need dirty points. But if one team deserved to win it was Newcastle.

"A few days ago we were were brilliant, today we were no good. That's the way it can go.

"With the situation Newcastle are in and the situation we are in, you have to say they deserved the win."

Klopp was unable to explain why his side were below par against a team that is still languishing in the Premier League relegation zone and admitted that his players were found lacking in several areas.

"I couldn't see that we should have won, we were not good enough today. I don't know why.

"I have to see it again and know more about it but it was hard work. It should not be this hard. We could do better.

"We should play much more football, our pressing was not good. We were not compact - there was a lot of things we did not do well."

I like that - he calls it as he sees it.

Can't argue - we were unlucky, In so far as Morenos goal should have stood. But we got what we deserved.

Two poor away performances in a row. Swansea at home was fairly dire. Are the players reverting to form? Has the klopp effect worn off? I think it's a bit of both. It's good as it reconfirms we need better players, as for a while it looked like klopp was the Messiah and could polish turds. I've great confidence he will make a difference, but reality says he needs to be able to compete financially with our competitors to make a real sustained long term difference.

I'm reevaluating and saying top four would be a result.

The pitch was dire, I think it's inadvisable to read too much into last night.

This. I think the only reason the game went ahead was because its only going to get worse over there in these winter months....

[Vermilion]

Yeah agree, that was a totally **** surface for a game of football, just happy we escaped with no injuries.

[Mike]

The frozen pitch helped them, no doubt. We couldn't play anything down that side at all which made things (even) more compact.

Players couldn't even change direction properly because their studs weren't sinking into the turf - could have easily ended up with an injury.

A nothing game, with valuable minutes to Hendo, Origi Smith and Coutinho, and we still top the group. I'll take that.

Yeah I'm all doom for daring to suggest the players have returned to type and that klopp isn't a ****ing magician.
