The Liverpool manager was clearly frustrated after the first loss of the season.
Before Sunday, Liverpool had gone undefeated through the season, but then it said stop against David Moyes’ West Ham who won 3-2.
After the match, Klopp was dissatisfied with a couple of referee decisions, and when the German was asked BBC Radio 5 Live about which it concerned, he fired back:
– It’s interesting that you ask about it. I’m not sure I want to answer that question if you do not know what situation I’m talking about.

– What can he do?
The first goal of the match came after an innovator – turned corner where a pressured Alisson Becker boxed the ball into his own net. After a VAR check, the goal remained, to the great frustration of Klopp and his crew.
– Do not you think so (that Alisson was prevented)? Is it your job not to have an opinion? Okay, that’s fine, says Klopp.
– What can Alisson do? That’s why the goalkeeper is protected. If a player jumps up with his arm in the air, then it is an important part of a goalkeeper’s body.

Just after the situation with Alisson, West Ham back Aaron Cresswell went in with the knobs in an ugly tackle on Jordan Henderson. However, referee Craig Pawson let the game go, and despite the fact that the situation was also checked by VAR for a potential red card, Cresswell was allowed to remain on the field.
When asked by the BBC’s reporter if Klopp thought he should be expelled, he replied resignedly.
– Dear vein, I’m not your puppy. Hopefully you have an opinion yourself.
– People will say that I make excuses, but I’m calm. You need normal decisions from a judge and he did not come up with it, says Klopp.
