Liverpool vs Chelsea: Klopp blasts Conte for defensive tactics

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has accused Antonio Conte of being defensive, as Chelsea held his team to a 1-1 draw in their Premier League clash at Anfield on Saturday.
Mohammed Salah opened scoring for the Reds in the second half, but it was cancelled out by a late Willian goal.
“I think I need a little bit of time to be happy,” Klopp said in his post-match reaction.
“I’m happy about the performance, how we took the game. It’s a little bit more difficult when Chelsea played with eight defenders more or less.
“After a week like this (long trips away in the Champions League) we have both had, it was one of the better draws I’ve seen in my life.
“You need a bit of luck and we didn’t have it again. We wanted to change the system before the equaliser and the referee didn’t allow us.
“We wanted to go to five at the back, to change the situation and it’s not too cool to have conceded.
“Of course, if you’re at home 1-0 up, you want the three points, that’s my problem at the moment.
“It was a really good game and at the end, it’s one point against Cheslea. There will be a moment tonight when I think the result is OK – but not now.”
