ReactionJürgen Klopp press conference: West Ham 2-2 Liverpool

The Reds were made to share the points at the London Stadium on Saturday, having fought back to lead in the capital.

Jarrod Bowen gave the hosts a half-time advantage, before Andy Robertson and an Alphonse Areola own goal via a Cody Gakpo volley in the second period put Liverpool in front.

But Michail Antonio headed West Ham level 13 minutes from time and it ended all square.

On his reflection on the game...

Intense for the boys – 10 days, four games, last one today. First half, dominating, good game. Not the highest intensity, happens quite frequently when you have these intense periods, you need to get the legs going. [We] created, were super-dominant but concede anyway, first goal from a corner. Not great. Speak about it at half-time, that the one thing I didn't like is how we dealt with the chances we missed, a bit throwing arms [up] and stuff like this.

It makes no sense because it cannot constantly feel like we carry with us that we didn't score for a while, or individuals didn't score for a while, or we just try to ignore it for once. Coming out and scoring early [in the second half] helped, obviously. Still, really good game, super-controlled, more intense now, caused massive problems and if there would have been a deserved winner today it would have been only Liverpool, but football is not like that, not always at least. So, we scored for 2-1 and conceded the equaliser and here we are with one point. That's obviously not enough for us but not to change anymore.

On making five changes to the starting line-up...

How I said, four games in 10 days. If you can find a manager who can play the same team in four games... I said that will be in the next generation, not me anymore. I try to do what I think is right and I thought the boys who came on did really well. Cody didn't start the last game because of his private situation. Harvey [Elliott] played really well.

Jarell [Quansah] did really well. It's how it is as a central defender, you are from time to time around when goals get scored and that's how it is. But he played a really good game and is super-important for us. I tried to do the right thing [with the line-up].

On the Premier League title race...

I don't think about it really. So, I said before, we need to win our games. We didn't win the game. That doesn't improve our situation now massively. Do they [Manchester City and Arsenal] look like they will lose two or three games? No, I don't think so but, honestly, I'm not angry or whatever... I don't think about it. It's just we have to win football games and let's see what that means in the end. What do we have now? 75 points? 84 [are] possible and I think it is a good target to try to do that. That is what will be my attitude, my mindset and we will see what that means. It's a while ago somebody became champion with 84 points I think, long ago. I am sorry, but I don't have better news for you.

On the timing of West Ham's second goal, with substitutes ready to come on...

I didn't think the game looked like they would score in the next few seconds, to be 100 per cent honest. It happened anyway. No, we just knew [we had to make changes]. We could have changed Robbo because you could see that he was on the edge, but it's a bit tricky. The first three changes we made were just to control the game, keep controlling the game and score the third one. And it's then 2-2. Then we tried to score the third one anyway, so that was the idea. I didn't feel that this is now the moment where they would definitely score, no.
