Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has enjoyed a dig at Manchester United's tactics after Monday's stalemate.

Jose Mourinho has been criticised in the aftermath of the game.

Asked yesterday if United's negative tactics was good preparation for Tony Pulis' West Brom, Klopp said: “Yes, partly.

“We all know we have had to watch out for a few problems that we had last season, although we are not suffering from the same amount.

“We are a football playing side and Manchester United was more physical and stronger than we were with a lot of tall players.

“We did it well and I cannot remember there was a big advantage in this game out of these situations.

“We need to be ready again for situations like this (against West Brom). You can always use a few things from the last game, but on the other hand it will be different again.

“Defending these balls was important, very important in the United game and will be important in the next game."
