Jurgen Klopp: 'Liverpool did not play well enough against Newcastle United'

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp admits that his side did not play well enough after falling to a shock 2-0 defeat away at Newcastle United in the Premier League.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has accepted that his side did not play well enough following their 2-0 away defeat at the hands of struggling Newcastle United.

Klopp's impressive winning run came to an end at St James' Park on Sunday, as a Martin Skrtel own goal and a late strike from Magpies winger Georginio Wijnaldum handed Steve McClaren a vital win in the Premier League.

"I think we deserved a point maybe but not more because we didn't play well enough," said Klopp, according to BBC Sport.

"I like to play the dirty points too – it's no problem. If Alberto's goal was given it was 1-1 then the game can change. Until then we didn't play as well as we like to.

"I have to watch the game again. We were not really in the game. We were not aggressive enough or close enough. There were good moments for pressing but we didn't do it."

Liverpool currently hold seventh spot in the league standings after 15 games played.
