— It is very difficult to accept this result. But if you've seen the game, it's easy to explain. We didn't turn on counter-pressing until Thiago appeared. Everything was obvious. Why did this happen? I can't answer right now. I have to accept this result.

Looks like we need to find ourselves again. We played very badly, conceding three goals in a half with Alison in goal. We have to defend much better. And of course Napoli had a great game and Liverpool didn't. We were out of the game, we were not compact neither in defense nor in attack. We tried to play individually and not as a team. My task is to find out why, said Jurgen Klopp.
