EPL: That is why they are in fifth place – Klopp blasts Conte’s Tottenham

 

Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has criticized Tottenham Hotspur’s style of play following a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

 

The result represented a blow to the Reds’ title hopes, as Manchester City have the chance to open a three-point gap at the top on Sunday.

 

Klopp’s men looked flat in attacks, with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson slinging plenty of hopeful crosses into the penalty area with no success.

 

Despite all of their possession, it was Spurs who arguably had the better chances.

 

Son Heung-min put the visitors in front before Luis Diaz equalized with 20 minutes left.

 

After the game, Klopp said: “For all the praise for Tottenham, they won against City – the gameplay works for these games but they are still fifth and for everything they were time-wasting – it makes not easier, it’s smart but not easy.”
