Klopp: Salah should’ve taken Luton chance instead of Nunez

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has spoken out after his side were held to a 1-1 draw with Luton Town on Sunday.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, the Reds’ boss admitted he was unhappy with the approach Luton Town took when it came to how they defended set-pieces into their box.

“Credit to Luton and how they defended and how they set up, but it was mainly up to us. We had a lot of chances and should have had much more,” Klopp told Sky Sports.
 
“It is a tricky task to stay fully concentrated. Looking at the game I think we didn’t deserve more than a point. We could have won the game with the chances we had, but now looking at it, I think we deserved a point.” He added.


Klopp has also said he believes Mohamed Salah should have taken his golden goal-scoring opportunity instead of passing it to his teammate Darwin Nunez:

“He [Nunez] was offside once or twice,” Klopp said. “The one ball Mo [Salah] squares with the header, I think Mo could do it himself, that was as well a big chance, but these are the moments.
“He was really involved in everything. It is fine. It is not our dream result, but we are always old enough to accept them.”

The result at Kenilworth Road left Liverpool with a result third on 24 points, three points behind the League leaders Manchester City, while Luton inched an escape out of the relegation zone to go 17th with 6 points.
