Klopp at a loss for words to describe Liverpool result at Leicester

Jurgen Klopp admits he struggled to find the right words to say to his Liverpool players tonight.

The Reds were beaten 3-1 by Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in what was a fifth defeat to a team in the bottom half of the table this season, and Klopp admitted the result prompted some anger.

"The language issues become a bit harder when you lose," Klopp said.

"It's hard to find the right words.

"It's not that Leicester were over aggressive tonight, I think we were not physical enough.

"They were well prepared, they were ready. They had their set pieces well thought out and we were giving throw ins away and what's frustrating is it's not like we didn't talk about that.

"The first goal is difficult to accept and it obviously helped them a lot with momentum.

"It would be hard to explain my disappointment in German but in English its worse."
