Jamie Jackson’s report has landed … and here it is. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night!

Jurgen Klopp, presumably having finally concluded his bollocking, talks to Sky. “They were really aggressive in the beginning, it was clear what will happen. But reality shows if you are ready, or really ready, and they were more aggressive than us. They hit the post, then scored the goal, then we took over and played the game we wanted to play. We were unlucky with situations. The second one doesn’t help. Then we scored ours, and it became a hectic game with lots of interruptions and it’s definitely not the result we wanted. It was not perfect, we lost the game, and I think we were ready but not 100 percent. If we had this one situation, when we could have equalised, the game would change. But we had to keep changing the game. When you are in a rush, 2-0 down, you mishit crosses and passes, and against their counter-attacking threat it’s really difficult. We have to take it and work with it. We have to make sure nobody else gets injured, because we have no other options. I’m not concerned about our situation. We can play better but had good moments, and from tomorrow we will fight again.”
