Liverpool coach, Jurgen Klopp has blamed the wind for Liverpool’s recent stalemate against Everton.
The Reds were held to a goalless draw at Goodison Park which means they are now one point behind Manchester City in the Premier League table.
His words, “It’s OK. A very difficult game for different reasons, a wild opponent,” Klopp told Sky Sports postmatch. “I know people don’t like it when I say that, but the wind came from all directions and you saw that in a lot situations that it didn’t help any football play, especially when the ball was in the air and that was a lot.
“We had — in a game that was really difficult to control because of the two things I said — I think three or four really big chances. I’m not sure if they count as shots on target — Mo it was really big, Fabinho really big.
“It’s a 0-0 in a derby, we kept our unbeaten run against Everton. But of course it’s not exactly what we wanted, but it’s something [that] is easy to accept because, how I said, difficult game.”
“There’s nothing to be concerned about. We have to take the situation like it is. Four days ago we spoke about the free-flowing Liverpool side. It’s all good.
“We need to constantly show stability — that’s what we did again — and fight for the result. Nothing happened really, apart from that we have one point more and that’s still positive.”
