"Created Problems for Ourselves." Klopp Speaks About the Match Against Manchester United

Liverpool's manager, Jürgen Klopp, commented on the 2:2 draw at Old Trafford against Manchester United.

“We were in a bit of a rush – I’d have loved us to take an extra touch. You always have to take different things from the game. I know the outside world will get nervous but we have to be calm – it’s going to be full of life, excitement and desire. The goals we have scored have got us where we are. We need to build on that. We’re deal with that in the right way.

I’m not over the moon but it’s OK. You take what you get. If we were more clinical then we could’ve won here. We should have won the game – that’s clear. We caused a few problems for ourselves. We controlled the game, scored first and should’ve had other goals. They had no shots in the first half. But we made a mistake and they used that immediately – it was well executed from Bruno. Then the stadium is coming and they score another screamer. A wonderful goal.

But we found a way back in the game. We had big chances before they scored and after they scored. It’s a point at Manchester United. I know how people will see it – two points lost but we have a point more than we had before the game in an away game at Manchester United. These games are more special for us than other teams. They put an extra shift it.” said Klopp Sky Sports.

Such a result in today's derby allowed Arsenal to remain in the top position. Both Arsenal and Klopp's team have 71 points, but Arsenal has a better goal difference. Manchester City is third with 70 points.
