Liverpool boss Klopp happy with goalscorer Nunez: But it wasn't good enough

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp praised Darwin Nunez after their 2-2 draw at Fulham.

Darwin Nunez marked his league debut with a finish from the bench as Mohamed Salah then converted from inside the penalty area with 10 minutes remaining.

Klopp said, "All fine, that's how it should be. In a situation like that when we don't really find a way in front of the goal, you need this extra determination, and the difference as well, it makes it difficult for the opponent obviously. Yes, a great goal, could have scored another one as well, maybe two – crazy.

"So, he is involved in a lot of goal-scoring situations – that's really cool and that's where we have to bring him up. Now imagine we would play good, how often we could set him up then? Because that was obviously our main problem, that our delivery was most of the time not good enough, and that was alright – we had massive chances, it's crazy.

"If I would watch it back, if you watch highlights, you could misunderstand this game completely because we had a few really good situations, but between these situations we just didn't play well. "
