Jurgen Klopp was a frustrated figure following Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Spartak Moscow in the Champions League.

Philippe Coutinho’s first half equaliser appeared to have the Reds in the ascendancy, but they failed to make their dominance count in Russia.

Speaking after the game, though, Klopp said that, barring showing a little more of a killer instinct, there is little more he could have asked of his troops.

“It was a crazy game,” he told BT Sport. “To create all those chances and only score one goal feels average.

“What can I say? We created, created and created. Where is the real point for criticism? We tried with all we had. The effort was great.

“We have to be more clinical 100% for sure. The only way to change it is to do it again.”
