Klopp ‘angry’ after Liverpool lose at West Ham

The first half had a total of 21 shots – the second-most of any Premier League game this season – and the first of those was from Liverpool winger, Jordon Ibe, who pulled a 20-yard effort just wide after three minutes.

We had two handball penalty shouts before the end of the half, but both would’ve been very harsh on the home side, and we went in at the break 1-0 down – after Emre Can curled one against the post.

They come into the game in seventh place, just one point and one place above West Ham in the table, so a win for either here would be an important one.

West Ham are likely to still be without Dimitri Payet, although he is nearing a return to action.

“It’s not a day for being disappointed, it’s a day for being angry with ourselves”.

Klopp feels he did the right thing in moving to Anfield, even though he has quickly become aware of the size of the task he faces to make Liverpool title contenders.

You also had to wonder what might have been if Christian Benteke had been as good on the deck as he is in the air when Moreno set him up five minutes or so after the restart.

“Top players are top because they produce consistently good performances, there aren’t enough top players in that team, that’s why some weeks they’re good, some weeks they’re not”.

“In each situation when we started playing fighting football, we had better moments but we scored no goals in this game”.

For the Reds were far from convincing again at the Stadium of Light.

It is the third separate foot injury this season for Henderson, who has been restricted to six league starts this season as a result.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp bemoans his team’s defensive errors in Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at West Ham United in the Premier League.

Joe Allen may have recovered from illness, while James Milner nears full fitness following a calf complaint.

Hammers manager Slaven Bilic said after the game he hoped the playmaker, signed on loan from Al-Jazira, will not be absent for an extended spell.

Liverpool were poor but we should take nothing away from the Hammers.

“There’s a lot happening in the coming months. Only then will he become a great asset for us”, he said.

Here are three things we learned from the match.

“I am angry about myself today”.

Klopp said the players have “to do everything” and acknowledged that “it can happen” that they “lose the decisive moment” but said they must “use your chance more” with “more will” – admitting they “deserved” to lose due to their performance. “I think he’ll be involved for the squad for Liverpool”.
