Liverpool Boss Jurgen Klopp Dismisses Defensive Frailties Against Palace But Disregards Title Talk

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has admitted that he is unconcerned with his side's leaky defence aftertheir 4-2 victory againstCrystal Palace, but has shrugged any further talk of title chances.

The Reds beat the Eagles in a thrilling Premier League clash on Saturday evening, with both sides showing their defensive frailties, including Liverpool, who conceded their lead twice in the first half before pulling away later in the match.

According to theDaily Mailhowever, Klopp insists that this is nothing to worry about, as his team will learn from their mistakes, but has made it clear that Liverpool should not be thinking about challenging for the title this year, but take each game as it comes.

"We will sort the defence: what then happens, we will see," said the Reds boss.

"They can defend really well; it's normal (to have lapses). I know that everybody will talk about this.

"I don't go in the dressing room and say 'You're a really bad defender, and you are the goalkeeper, where are you?

"They are all human beings, we work on it. I am completely convinced about the quality. If they make mistakes and stay in the game then, it's a very good test for them, and they stood it again.

"I was happy with the reaction (to conceding). Not with the situation, not with the style of the game, that's what we have to work on, but I'm happy with the reaction.

"We'll work on it and we will see where it leads."
