Same old story as Liverpool fail to breakdown resolute West Brom

A goalless draw was played out by Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion at Anfield on Wednesday night.

The Reds had more than 70% of the possession but were unable to pick apart an Albion defence that worked tirelessly for their point.

Substitute Dominic Solanke had a goal disallowed for handball, and a shot cleared off the line, within the last ten minutes of the encounter.

Speaking after the game, Reds manager Jurgen Klopp said: "It is twice deflected and I am still not sure.It is for sure chest and then I am not sure if handball.

"We cannot take the decision back so all good, it is like this.

"First half we were a little bit stiff, the passing and movement was not so good but even then we had two or three chances. The second half we changed the system two or three times. It was difficult but I think only one time Loris Karius had to make a save - an important one.

"We can do better and we have to do better but on a night like this when you are not at your best you need a bit of luck.

"That was not our best game tonight but I think we had enough chances to win. We didn't use them and we have to accept the result."
