'I don't know how it happened' - Klopp frustrated with Liverpool's defending
Liverpool news updates live:
Jurgen Klopp was left frustrated by Liverpool's defending and below standard pitch as they lost for the first time in pre-season.
'It was a very, very important to give players minutes,' said Klopp, who was without Adam Lallana (dead leg). 'It was tough for both teams– wow, it was really warm. So immediately when we had to come out again for 15 minutes with the same line-up from the first half.
'Dortmund could change and bring fresh legs, that was the decider, I would say. There were a lot of good moments of football, it's sure that you see they are a step further in the pre-season than we are. But we had to fight, we had to defend these situations, a lot of times good.
'I saw a lot of good things. But the goals [conceded], of course… the first a throw-in, the second a second ball after a corner, not too cool, the third goal I don't know exactly how it happened. We scored our two goals, which was absolutely nice, especially the first one. We had chances.'
Klopp continued: 'We changed [the players] and it was a very, very important session for all of us; 60 minutes for one team was maybe a bit too much but they had to go through this, and the 30 minutes for the other team was exactly right.
'That's the situation we face in the moment, that's pre-season, early pre-season. We have to do it like this, we have to use it as the main sessions in our pre-season.'
