Jurgen Klopp has used the snow on the Anfield pitch as an excuse for Liverpool missing the opportunity to open a seven-point gap over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.
His words, “You saw that the ball didn’t roll really,” Klopp said. “If you then have the ball pretty much for 70 to 80 percent of the time it makes life really uncomfortable.
“The only problem is if it stays on the pitch and that was actually the case.”
On Liverpool’s denied penalty, “I don’t know what he [Atkinson] thought in that moment,” Klopp said.
“I think he had the best position.
“Usually I have to explain penalties which were penalties, and you ask me if it was a soft penalty. A penalty is a penalty.
“There was no blood involved again today, but it’s a penalty because one of our players is in the box. It is like it is. It won’t change. Nothing to worry about, keep on going.”
