Klopp upset with Liverpool 'body language' for Sheffield Utd win

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp wanted more bravado from his players during victory at Sheffield United.

Klopp saw the Reds beat Sheffield United 1-0 on Saturday lunchtime to maintain their 100 per cent start to the season.

The manager said, "You have to respect the opponent, we had good moments and it was one of these games you have to win but not think too much about it. One team deserved to win, which was us, but all respect to Sheffield United, they were tough.

"I was frustrated, and at half-time we spoke about it. We started well, but you have to do the same things again and again.

"It's about body language, it starts with the centre halves, it's the little things. They threw everything at us, they worked incredibly hard, they were a real threat.

"I am fine with the game, not overly happy but it happens. We were concentrated at set pieces for 95 minutes the boys were spot on. We didn't play our best football but there we are."
