Jurgen Klopp, coach of the Liverpool, assured after receiving seven goals from Aston Villa (2-7) that his team had many chances that did not end, but that surely would not have been enough to tie at seven. The Liverpool side conceded their first league defeat against Villa this season.
“Yes, I can believe it because I have been here. The Villa has done very well. They have been huge physically, playing very smart and being very direct, not like us“Klopp explained in statements to Sky Sports.
“We had a lot of chances that we didn't take advantage of, but when you concede seven, I don't think you could have had enough to tie 7-7. We made a lot of mistakes and some very big ones, “he added.
“We lost a lot of balls in the wrong place and it seems that we lost the direction of the game after 1-0. It is not an excuse. We created chances, but we didn't protect ourselves, so every time we lost the ball we gave them a counter attack, “Klopp said.”We can only blame ourselves“, he stressed.
