A 4-2 score sheet might be deceitful for anyone who just looks at the result of this Saturday's Crystal Palace-Liverpool Premier League match, the Reds struggled to get that win but managed to stay on top next to Manchester City with 24 units. However, Jurgen Klopp wasn't happy with the two goals they allowed which made him suffer more than he expected.
Talking to BT Sport, a fuming Klopp said: "The first 15 minutes, I was not too happy. It looked like childish football, but no greed, no direction. We were very good, but that should not work, it didn't work, actually. But then we scored and we started playing football and I'm not sure that we played a lot of times better than we played [today] offensive-wise. For half an hour we created chance after chance after chance but did not score often enough.
"We were not really 100 per cent. We had no aggressiveness that we need in a game like this when the opponent is only waiting. They expected it, invited a little bit of pressure so it's not a problem for them. We didn't play football in the beginning as good as we could. So... close game, deserved win at the end it's clear, I would say, and I'm very happy."
When asked what he meant by 'childish', Klopp said: "Offensive things. The defensive error that we made for the first goal was only because we are not at the limit of concentration. The game felt, in the beginning, a little bit too easy. We had play here and there and came through, [but] we didn't shoot and then it's a big challenge and a big job to keep aggressiveness in this moment."
