The good news is we’re good too», Reacted Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp after the draw against leader Arsenal (1-1) on Saturday at Anfield. “In a match like this, it’s hard to go down from a set piece, especially against the speed of Arsenal“, commented the German to the BBCregretting some bad offensive choices made by his team: “We passed instead of shooting, four or five times, it’s a lesson. But overall the match is excellent».
Klopp also praised the atmosphere created by the public, which he had criticized on Wednesday after the 5-1 victory in the quarter-finals of the League Cup against West Ham. “Thank you Anfield, this is what we can do“, he said.

The Arsenal winger said:a little frustrated» by the draw. “But I guess it can be good, when you come to Anfield, to be frustrated not to have won“, he said. “Approaching the goal, in the last pass, sometimes we didn’t make the right choices, that’s where my frustration comes from.»
