Klopp annoyed: “Don’t live in dreamland”

“We don't live in dreamland and we don't win football games just because we want to win them. We have to work for it, convert chances and play passes at the right moment,” said the German after the strange 1-1 draw against relegation candidate West Bromwich Albion. Of course, such games are usually firmly planned as a win for the champions on the way to defending their title in the English Premier League, but the draw is unlikely to pose any major problems for Liverpool. The Reds still lead the table with 32 points. "It's not my first day in the job, we should have won the game," said Klopp, later adding: "In the end we only drew - that can happen." It also happened because Liverpool let the newly formed underdogs live. Only two of Liverpool's 17 shots were on target, even though the hosts had been vastly superior in the first half. Sadio Mane's wonderful opening goal (12th), which defender Joel Matip delivered with a brilliant chip ball into the penalty area, was one of the few compelling actions. However, Klopp may have been particularly angry because of the second half, in which West Brom played more courageously under their new team manager Sam Allardyce and won a point late on through Semi Ajayi (82'), whose header rolled unhappily off the post over the line.

Klopp annoyed: “Don’t live in dreamland”

Jürgen Klopp made no secret of how stinky he was. In every camera that filmed Liverpool FC's world coach, he recited similar words.
