'We weren't patient enough': Klopp breaks down West Ham game

Sky Sports

"We lost too many balls that is why they had counter-attacks," 

"At 1-1 we had them were we wanted. It looked like we lost a bit of patience, we had a lot of situations where we got to the touchline but could not make it count. 

"They dropped really deep so it does not make it easy, you have to force and fight them down in the final third. Little things decided it and a few things went against us.

"We were not that calm in the decisive moments, they could not get us. When you try to put the ball into the box they had eight, nine players so we have to go again, do it again. We were not patient enough.

"We can be better 100%, you cannot always play your best result, you have to grind out a result but they scored three goals and we didn't."

 failed to come back after West Ham went up 3-1 despite 

The defence is getting to be a concern but it's likely that Liverpool will get back to winning ways sooner rather than later. 

Klopp: 'You need normal decisions from a referee and he did not do that'

's first goal but VAR and the referee did not deem that it was a foul. 

 fumed about it to Sky Sports after the game, saying: "Let's talk about the game, the first they score is a foul on the goalkeeper, the arm goes into Alisson's arm so how can he catch it? That makes no sense.

"What can Alisson do? That is why the goalie is protected. If a player goes up in the air with his arm, it is an important part of the body for the goalkeeper. 

"People will say I am making excuses but I am calm. You need normal decisions from a referee and he did not do that."

The refereeing was definitely not up to the mark today but the Reds should have won the game regardless. 

'We were too rash': Van Dijk's verdict on upsetting West Ham loss

"A proper knock but we have to pick ourselves up. An intense game," 

"First half there was nothing wrong, they defended well and we scored a deserved equaliser.

"Second half we were a bit too rash. We wanted the 2-1 a bit too much. They gambled on the counter attacks and it leaves an open game.

"Sometimes you have to be more composed and patient and keep the ball a little bit longer.

"The first goal counts. I saw the whole time, 

 was being man marked. With the rules no-one knows what is allowed. It could have been a foul."

 conceding multiple goals in the second half in quick succession cost the Reds as they couldn't pull the game back. 

Van Dijk was good personally, but the Dutchman will be as frustrated as any of his other teammates.

Klopp you were poor tactically and poor to make change at the right time why wait for the opponents to score before making changes

Let's get it right, US Reds just didn't turn up, we were disappointing to say the least, NO commitment, NO passion, NO determination, NO trophies so we need to find a solution., FSG now need to sought this mess out, put your bloody greedy hands into them deep pockets and give generously to OUR genius of a manager so he can bring in the right players, we are seriously struggling and with SALAH and Co going off to play for There countries in January then if we don't replace any player at all then say goodbye to the Premiership title as we can't afford anymore slip ups as we're chasing CHELSHIT and SHITY already which ain't a good sign !! OUR 97 ❤️NEVER 🙏FORGOTTEN !!!
