Klopp defends Liverpool's number one

Last updated : 09 December 2016 By LFC Online

The German felt there was too much focus being placed on the goalkeeper he signed in the summer who has taken the place of Simon Mignolet, another who was prone to the odd mistake.

"I heard the criticism was very harsh," said Klopp.

"When we analysed the game I found eight players who could have defended the (winning) goal before Loris was involved.

"He made a mistake too - even the best goalkeepers in the world still make mistakes.

"We know we have to deal with pressure. There is no perfect recipe for development but 'close your ears' helps a lot. I am quite good at this actually. Hopefully he can adapt to my skills."
