Klopp: Two massive mistakes cost goals

players and you can’t do that in the living room at home.’ Klopp’s seven changes to the side who lost at Watford included giving starts to youngsters Neco Williams and Curtis Jones, as well as fringe players Adrian, Adam Lallana and Takumi Minamino. ‘Losing 2-0 is not good,’ the manager added. ‘But it’s easy to explain. We made two massive mistakes around the goals.’ Despite being virtually assured of winning their first league title in 30 years, Liverpool have now lost three of their last four matches in all competitions — failing to score in three of them. ‘It’s more easy to explain when you win than when you lose,’ said the German. ‘I have no arguments against the numbers. Everyone can interpret it as they want. I know the number and it’s not cool. ‘We don’t want to concede and we want to score more. But we’re not 100 miles away and the boys are strong. Usually you don’t get a lot of chances against us but now we have to admit in the last four games we conceded too many goals. ‘I’m not worried about momentum. We never thought it would be easy. We have done very well but tonight was not good enough and that is what we have to accept.’ Scouser Barkley said: ‘It was brilliant, a massive result. Scoring against Liverpool is a dream for me, supporting Everton and having played for them. But getting into the next round is the main thing.’ Lampard, whose side join Arsenal, Newcastle and Sheffield United in the last eight, said: ‘It’s hard to be comprehensive against Liverpool; they remain in the game because of the team they are. ‘But we can’t ask for any more. The spirit, the work ethic, the quality. You’ve got to defend really well to keep a clean sheet against them. What a team they are. And we defended with everything, played well and deserved to win the game.’
