More from Klopp ...
When asked about James Milner’s injury, Jurgen gets stuck into Des Kelly over the scheduling, specifically for having games on at lunchtime on a Saturday. Des argues that the Premier League clubs agreed to have games in that slot and that it’s up to Premier League chief executives to take their grievance to the broadcasters. “I only go for the broadcasters with the Wednesday and the Saturday 12.30pm games. The problem is that we’ve signed the contracts, but in this season it’s a bigger problem because of the shorter season. It’s not OK.”

Jurgen Klopp speaks ...
“The two offside calls werew rewally close,” he tells BT Sport’s pitchside reporter, Des Kelly. “With Mo it was just his foot but we are used to armpits and club badges so it’s a toe and it’s obviously offside. With the other one, Sadio it was more clear. The penalty ... well ... yeah ... it is how it is. I think the big decisions were right.”
Des tells him that some of the Brighton players told Jordan Henderson it wasn’t a penalty. “You try to create, again, at my cost a headline,” says Klopp. “You try always, all the time but I’m saying today it was penalty and today you are not happy with that answr. What do you want? WHat do you want to hear - just give the answers yourself.”
On Liverpool’s performance: “Very good. I couldn’t be more proud of the boys. We struggled a little bit in the first half an hourwith balls in behind but we sorted that at half-time. The goals were disallowed but the situations were brilliant. It was all good but it’s tough times, that’s how it is.”
