Klopp on Everton draw: It’s not the best day in my life
Jurgen Klopp was happy with the result as Liverpool drew 0-0 with Everton in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
The Reds had the better of the opening hour or so but the Toffees were perhaps unlucky not to win it with a couple of really good chances in the last 15 minutes.
When asked if he was happy with the result, Klopp told Sky Sports: “Absolutely. We controlled the game for around 60 minutes, then everything got a bit emotional. In those times we have to control the game, but we didn’t.
“At the end there were two crosses that were close, so I am completely fine with the result. Clean sheet, good defending, but last 20 minutes, we need to play and we didn’t do that.
“A point is OK. Everton were always ready to fight but we didn’t give them the opportunity until the late stages, we stopped playing football and were a bit lucky. But that is what we have to take. I think it’s an absolutely deserved draw.
“For 75 minutes we were completely in charge. I am absolutely OK, it’s not the best day in my life but let’s carry on. Now we have to focus immediately and be ready again on Tuesday, let’s fight for the next round.”
