After Liverpool Detained Manchester United Series, Klopp Frustration Heavy

JAKARTA - Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp was frustrated after his team was held to a 0-0 draw against Manchester United. The meeting between the two teams took place in the 17th week of the 2023/2024 Premier League, Sunday, December 17, 2023.

In that match, the Reds wasted many golden opportunities to win over the fragile MU.

Moreover, in this match, many of the Red Devils' core players were absent and opened up opportunities for Liverpool to win.

As the host, Liverpool also appeared to dominate in all lines by releasing 34 shots. However, nothing could shake Andre Onana's goal.

This situation made Jurgen Klopp so frustrated. He did not expect that his dominating team's performance could not change the situation.

The main thing I don't like is the result. We should have won the game," Klopp said expressing anxiety as quoted by the Mirror on Monday, December 18, 2023.

"With that many chances, there should have been some finishing that was right on target. Should have been more, but there were a few things I liked."

"Counter-pressure is the best in this team. Intensity and start may be the best so far," Klopp added.

Although the result did not make Klopp happy, he tried to accept this fact. He felt that there was a lesson to be learned from meeting with Manchester United.

"Today it hurts, but it's good. It gives us a lot of information too and now we have to solve this situation," he said.

"It's okay, you need one goal and everything will be fine. I can't remember a dominance like this against Manchester United, like we did today. It's special, the atmosphere is special," Klopp said accepting the reality.
