Premier League: “How strong they are,” admits Klopp after Liverpool’s draw against Arsenal

“Oh my God, how strong they are! The good news is that we are good too,” reacted Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp after the draw against leader Arsenal (1-1) on Saturday at Anfield. “In a match like this, it's hard to be behind on a set piece, especially against the speed of Arsenal,” commented the German to the BBC, regretting some poor offensive choices from his team: “We passed instead of shooting, four or five times, that’s a lesson. But overall, the match is excellent.

Klopp also praised the atmosphere created by the public, which he criticized on Wednesday after the 5-1 victory in the quarter-finals of the League Cup against West Ham. “Thank you Anfield, this is what we can do,” he said. On the other hand, he confirmed the serious injury of Greek defender Kostas Tsimikas who “broke” his collarbone in the first period, falling hard to the ground after a shoulder hit from Bukayo Saka. The usual starter at left back, Andy Robertson, has already been unavailable for several weeks.

“I want to apologize,” said Saka, invited on Sky Sports to comment on his gesture, “not intentional” according to him. The Arsenal winger said he was “a bit frustrated” by the draw. “But I guess it can be good, when you come to Anfield, to be frustrated not to have won,” he said. “As we approached the goal, in the last pass, sometimes we didn’t make the right choices, that’s where my frustration comes from.”

“We just took one point, we are first at Christmas, which is good, but it’s really too early to talk about the title,” he said elsewhere. Arsenal are in first place after 18 days, one point ahead of Liverpool and Aston Villa.
